How do we know there are no certain symmetries in other universes? Has someone been talking to the God particle?

Shh.....

I'm running a Twilight Zone marathon at a more leisurely pace, courtesy of Netflix streaming. Have to say the episode quality has dropped off in season 2. Nonetheless, I'll be missing Rod Serling's curiously comforting tones as I retire to bed once its over.

Yes, stupidity can be the only explanation. Either that, or BBC2 were found to be cowering behind the sofa during season 1 and they're too scared to underwrite season 2.

Netflix has been streaming some Canadian TV shows, including the amazingly good Intelligence. Perhaps this bodes well for them streaming this show.

"Particles. What're you gonna do?" Brilliant breakdown of the Copenhagen interpretation.

Pharma/Biotech is already shying away from treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses, partly because the trials are big and take a long time and because its so difficult to get impressive enough trial results for FDA approval. In the case of schizophrenia, the major challenge is in treating the "negative"…

Wow! Hawkwind's Space Ritual at #33? And you're only allowing one album per artist? Really?? I understand that these lists are subjective but thats absurd. Even putting aside their association with Moorcock, Hawkwind embodied the spirit and imagination of science fiction like no other band before or since (David Bowie…

I'd have no problem with Ms Johansson playing Tara King, but someone else playing Emma Peel? Please, no. (But you're right - fitting description of Mrs Peel there). Downey's welcome to play mother....

No Trains To Heaven. Still one of favorite rock songs. Ever.

I'd choose the GITS soundtrack with Inner Universe and Lithium Flower on it - not her song, I know, but the greatest out theme of any anime, dammit any show. Ever.

Dr. James D. Watson thanks you for your letter and will be happy to accept your kind invitation to;

GYBE are magnificent and "East Hastings" helped to make the opening scenes in the desolate, empty streets of London as haunting as anything in recent movie history. But, lets not forget John Murphy's stunning original soundtrack for 28 Days Later.
