National Geographic documentary I watched last night, have to say it was brilliant.

Anyone else seen it?

Edit: For anyone wanting to download or buy it themselves, it is actually called 'National Geographic - Journey To The Edge Of The Universe'.
 
No.

Ultimately, it just highlights how small and insignificant we are.

But, it also tells us how unique earth was in it's creation, how conditions for the conception of life is either no coincidence, or a bizarre one. Throughout the thousands of stars and planets in our galaxy alone, nothing comes close to being a natural habitat for life organisms, which is a scary thought for me.

A truly brilliant documentary that stays with you and hits home.

I recommend it for everyone!
 
Yes i watched it Hectic...mainly because i love watching those space documentarys

Mind boggling how it all is....and how looking at the furthest galaxies what you see is when the universe.....like looking billions of years in the past because thats how long the light from those galaxy's takes to reach us.

You have to think with all those billions upon billions of galaxys(each galaxy has around a 100 billion stars) theres got to be some form of life elsewhere than earth
 
Definitely, it was visually stunning wasn't it. Countless galaxies with even more stars in them, there has to be life somewhere else. To think that amongst all of these trillions of stars, there is just us....It can't be!
 
I saw it couple of weeks ago over here. Excellent.

From The Meaning of Life.........

"There's got to be intelligent life somewhere out there,
Cos there's feck all down here on earth"
 
Well i think you have to be a bit naive to think theres no other form of life out there......I know the circumstances that spawned life on earth is very very rare but if you were to go with the laws of probability any physicist will tell you there should be thousands of other worlds out there with some form of life....whether it intelligent or not though is the question.

Time to get cracking on figuring out the warp drive me thinks
 
Can you get me a torrent link please, Hectic?
 
PM sent, anyone who wants it in torrent or rapidshare, just ask.
 
Torrent purlease. Me like space.

Life as we know it... don't know why this is rarely mentioned.

The Fermi paradox (the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for, or contact with, such civilizations) covers this issue, if anyone's interested in a lengthy wikipedia article:

Now that's a bit freaky - I read that last night - if I'd been asked what it was yesterday I'd have shrugged.
 
The idea of how significant we are interests me, can I get a rapidshare link Hectic?

If anyones interested its showing on Nat Geo right now...worth a watch IMO
