Without actually doing the math, this is the best explanation I've seen of how Einstein used Maxwell's equations.

I know about this, but I don't think I have ever watched it. Downloading a 4k version now. I'll watch it tomorrow.

It's a documentary

Lol. First novel I ever read in one sitting in 1976.

Watched 2001 Space Odessy in 4K. Probably cool for its time. A little too slow. Almost fell asleep a few times. Normal watching speed was 3=>> fast forward.

Watched Misson to Mars tonight. Much better.

Checked out Jupiter and at least 3 of it's moons this evening with a telescope. Definitely an orb with multiple orbs around it. Tried taking a picture but I got weird camera effects (because digital sensors and eyes are a bit different I assume).

Swear to god they churn out this shove-it-down-their-throats-they-love-it CRAP, and people just eat it up. I literally squirm in my seat at movies like this. Le Mans, now THAT was a great movie and 1000x more realistic despite being fiction.

Yup... Ford vs. Ferrari was a bit of a sorry movie for an enthusiast to see.
Shame as the story is really interesting. I don't expect any better from the upcoming Ferrari biopic.

I have the SW despecialized editions sitting somewhere. Will get around to watching them one day. Also have the full pre-99 VHS set, in French . I even found a VHS player in my mom's basement, but since I don't have a TV...

See if you can find "The 24 Hour War". It's a bit more of a documentary.

Yeah I've seen a scene where Enzo is arguing with his wife in typical overly dramatic hollywoodized man/wife arguing, and this conversation either never happened, or the nature of it was absolutely nothing like this. People just don't interact like this. Guh...
