The glut of documentaries continues, and though I am occasionally mixing it up a bit with evolution, or the history of the Mormons, or tracing the migration of man through genes, I am still primarily sticking with the universe and space. Because it is way cool. String theory? SUPER COOL. I don't understand it at all, but any theory which makes alternate universes and multiple dimensions possible is okay by me.
Except they went through a brief history of physics and I gotta say...I feel bad for Einstein. He was totally the BNF of gravity, and then his favorite OTP got split up when electromagnitism went over to the quantum mechanics spin off, and everyone started ignoring his fanfic and was like "crossovers are for LOSERS, electromagnetism/strong/weak nuclear force OT3 4EVAH!!" and stopped commenting in his LJ, and no one cared enough to send him iPods anymore. Poor Einstein.
Also, I watched a thing called The Secrets of the Sun last night, and was disturbed to discover that the Sun's secrets boil down to, "Dear Diary, that Earth thinks it's so cool, mooching off my energy, hiding behind it's stupid magnetic field, thinking I'm just gonna sit here and take it until I collapse. Let me tell you internets, the lurkers totally support me in e-mail and just when she is least expecting it? I'm so gonna cut a bitch." Perhaps we should send glitter pens and avoid this?
Hrmmm...I need some space icons.
