New show NUMB3RS on CBS--Physics or Poppycock?
Noticed a new show on TV this past Sunday called Numbers. The show was about an FBI agent with a brother that was a physics/math genius. The "genius" used mathematical calculations to pinpoint the whereabouts of criminals. I did not get to see the entire show, but found it fairly entertaining even though it was laced with many out of context quotes from works by Hawking and I believe I even discerned some dialogue from "The Elegant Universe". I am only a novice at this stuff and it is tough for me to discern the good science from the bad. I hope that some of you "learned" scholars will take a peak at the show and keep me posted on this blog as to what you think.
