I have just finished watching Journey to the Edge of the Universe on NatGeo, and it’s getting tough for an armchair astrophysicist like myself to enjoy any new shows about astronomy when they seem to recycle 90% of the same material. It’s become so rote that I propose the Science Channel Rule of Spaghettification:
Any science program dealing with astronomy, gravity or physics will mention black holes and the phenomena of spaghettification 2/3rds through the program, or roughly 40 minutes in.
That’s when I stop watching. Is there truly nothing new under the stars?
