It seems like Nova and many other shows which are so dumbed down the point is lost. You can`t do a show about hard science without any hard science, in my book.

Yeah I love listening to problems the intellectually elite take on, but this was just about some highly regarded guy not being smart enough to go outside once in a while ... or at least, that`s all I got from the video.

Interesting stuff.
The fact that some of these guys go crazy when going so deep in the math of infinity, it makes it all the more obvious that they were onto something. I mean who wouldn`t go crazy when discovering what infinity is. Try to fit infinity in a finite mind.
