Two TV programmes to watch on the iplayer

There have been two excellent Physics programmes on the BBC this week which will be available to watch on the iplayer for the next month.

1. Jim Al-Khalili did star formation. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0754t74 I was really taken with it because he filmed a lot of it in the Canary Islands in places I visited at Christmas! It's a great programme.

2. Last night the Horizon strand on BBC2 covered attempts to produce anti-gravity. It's a good programme for the scientific method as claims are tested rigorously. There's also a nice bit about dark energy in there. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0752f85/horizon-20152016-2-project-greenglow-the-quest-for-gravity-control
