Sadly, I’m no Carl Sagan.
I hope this episode isn’t terrible. I’ve only seen parts of it. I gave the producers lots of advice, and even introduced them to the Science & Entertainment Exchange. They had their own ideas and agenda though, and did their own thing. I’m mostly just hoping I don’t get What the Bleeped, or pronounced a physics prophet.
The only thing about it that I know is good is that Morgan Freeman will talk a bit about Lie groups. That I’m happy about. The God stuff, not so much.
And, err, there is a decent shot of me surfing

E8 work is going well. Short paper coming soon — probably out next week.
Morgan Freeman is an American actor, producer, and narrator. He is known for his deep, authoritative voice and has appeared in numerous films, including The Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby, and The Dark Knight trilogy.
Garrett Lisi is an American theoretical physicist and surfer. He is best known for his theory of everything, also known as the "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" or E8 Theory, which he proposed in 2007.
"Through the Wormhole" is a documentary television series hosted by Morgan Freeman that explores various scientific and philosophical questions, such as the origin of life, the nature of time, and the existence of alien life.
Morgan Freeman and Garrett Lisi discussed the concept of parallel universes and the possibility of multiple dimensions in their episode of "Through the Wormhole." They also explored the idea of a "multiverse" and how it could potentially explain the mysteries of our universe.
Some key takeaways from their discussion include the idea that our universe may be just one of many in a larger multiverse, the concept of parallel universes existing alongside our own, and the potential for advanced civilizations in other dimensions to communicate with us. They also touched on the intersection of physics and philosophy in understanding the nature of our existence.
