    Vice do some really interesting programs. What a shithole and what a terrible situation. 50 mins in I had heard about the child abuse in Afganistan but never knew it was so rampant. Apparently it's been a apart of their culture for a long time and it's predominantly boys that get raped. Looks like there is no real difference between the Taliban and the people that have supposedly replaced them. What a * state of affairs.

    Im pretty sure he used it as a simple way of describing 'gravity' to 'lesser' minds.

    Newton was known to be a complete *, so I doubt it was that and it was to have all the glory himself

    Not to everyone's taste you have to have an interest in science not just about wars and certain ex-leaders of countries :smiley-laughing002:

    The World At War is easily the best documentary I have ever watched. Yes it's a wee bit dated but its brilliant.
