AI Thread Summary
The NOVA special on string theory and cosmology airs on December 21 at 8 PM and runs for three hours. It provides an informative overview of the history of string theory, appealing to both enthusiasts and skeptics. While some viewers prefer loop quantum gravity (LQG) and focus on vacuum fields, the program is recognized as a valuable resource. There is a question regarding whether this broadcast is a rerun or an updated version. Overall, the special aims to educate a broad audience on the complexities of string theory.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
