    For me, this guy is the new Carl Sagan !

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.

    Not much chat about nuclear physics really... more about processing for biological computations. Nuclear physics already has absolutely bucket-loads of processing power - maybe not a million quads, but it sure is a hell of a lot.

    Been watching the Atom series BBC2 - very interesting and informative stuff - he certainly has a passion for his field.

    Good video series - keep it up guys

    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
