Rea#ing Rea# fo"r fo"r people/ people/s s commen comments ts abo"t abo"t a recent T' series calle# Wonders of the Universe. 0or "estions 1) choose from the people $. The people ma( be chosen more than once. A
I just want to say how ama4ing I think this recent #' series is. I)ve seen three of the programmes so far and in those three hours hours I learned more about science and the universe than I did in my whole time at school. %omehow
$hat I like about this series is that the presenter doesn)t talk down to his audience, audience, even though he knows a huge amount about his subject. $hen I listen to him talking about space and the universe, I don)t feel like a kid at school, I feel that he)s treating me like an adult. But he does seem to have a vast knowledge, and you can tell he enjoys sharing that knowledge. I particularly liked the programme about gravity where he he explained so well how the galaxies are attracting each other. It made me realise how limited my knowledge was, and also got me thinking about what scientists still don)t know or understand. It)s pretty scary to think about how small a piece we really are in the giant pu44le of existence. C

aving watched the first programme of the series The Wonders Wonders of the Universe I Universe I can)t wait until the next one. I)m particularly impressed by the visuals. #hey add a great deal to the professor)s explanations, and that)s something close to my heart. I enjoy playing around with computer graphics and I)ve done some work on amateur films but watching this has opened my mind up to the possibilities of other career paths= perhaps television work would be something I could aim for. for. 6bviously, special effects are getting cleverer and cleverer, and in a series like this, they are used to the very best. 6verall I think it)s one of the best science series I)ve ever seen, and it)s a great marriage between science and art. I also love the way the professor sets his explanations against things we can see and understand, like when he was talking about the dark core of a dying star and the camera followed him into the darkest cell of a condemned prison in Mexico. (ust brilliant*

I mean, I)d never thought about how elements are produced or where, or what a red dwarf is. -ow I know. know. Mind you, how long I)ll remember is a different matter* 1 $hich person believes that the professor loves his job" ___ 2 $hich person likes the symbolic use of real places in the programme" ___ 3 $hich person thinks one of the reasons for the success of the series is the originality of the topics" ___ 4 $hich person thinks the professor )s explanations are easier to follow than in a standard classroom" ___ 5 $hich person likes the way the programme combines both the artistic and the scientific" ___ 6 $hich person feels small when he considers the enormity of the universe" ___
