Curiosity- Reviewing episode 1&2

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtBziPLdHV0]

The first episode of this amazing series that  started last  week had Stephen Hawking as the celebrity guest who gave his views explicitly on whether God created Universe or not.

As per Hawkins Big Bang happened out of a black hole to create the Universe. And Time can’t exist inside a Black hole. Hence before big bang there was no time and hence No creator of Universe can exist. Big bang itself is the creator on Universe and Time!

The second episode that aired yesterday night had Morgan Freeman hosting the show and giving breathtaking opinion on theories of some great quantum mechanics physicts and cosmologists.

This episode of Curiosity investigated the possibility of existence of more than one version of reality. On the edge of space, buried in a black hole, or right on top of you, there could be an exact copy of yourself living a parallel reality. In those parallel worlds, you may be living your wildest dreams, or your worst nightmares.

This episode answered the questions like “Is there more than one of you or more than one of me?” and “Does another version of you look identical?”

We could all be living multiple parallel lives because as scientists explore the outer reaches of physics n cosmos they are beginning to believe that parallel universes do exist and that they might determine the fate of humanity.

The show takes you to an imaginable world and tells you to that it might take a staggering number of light years a man will have to travel to meet his cosmic clone.

But the big question is: why do we care if another version of you and me exists. We are never going to meet them face to face. But these alter egos are important because they are the key to answering the biggest questions of existence – How was the universe born and how will it end?

You have to tune in to the show and find out yourself!!

Watch out for repeat telecast: 26 oct, 04:00pm

Life on Discovery soon..

Discovery is ready to launch a new series called Life, which captures the unique struggle for survival among different species across continents.

Beginning on May 24, the 10-part series will be on-air from Monday through Friday at 8 pm. It will be aired in three languages — English, Hindi and Tamil. The channel has roped in Britain’s natural history filmmaker, David Attenborough as the narrator for the series.Sir David Attenborough is Britain’s best-known natural history film-maker. His career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spanned nearly five decades and there are very few places on the globe that he has not visited.

Talking about the show, Rahul Johri, senior vice-president and general manager, India, Discovery Networks Asia Pacific, says, “Life brings some of the most outstanding stories ever caught on camera; and highlights the efforts of men and women who spent days, weeks and months waiting for that perfect shot.”

Using state-of-the-art filming techniques, this 10-part BBC One series, narrated by David Attenborough, is about extreme behaviour. It’s survival of the fittest in their battle against daily life or death challenges.

iDubba recommends what to watch this week on TV through Personalized Weekly ‘Show Dubba’?

Sorry, for not posting here on iDubba’s blog for quite sometime. In fact I became more active over trak.in and writing guest blogs instead of writing at my home ground. No. My intention was not to run away from Blogging on my own site, but the main issue was- I needed to find a concrete reason for visitors to come over here and get some real useful information. Something which can be easily associated with what we are doing at iDubba.

I thought that I needed to take a step back, re-think what I was doing and then decide what should be done. I thought that- I should write something which will be associated with what we do at idubba i.e. TV show and Movie suggestion and alerts. But how can I differentiate between what my website provides and what I’ll post here? This question needed to be answered and I finally came up with this idea-

We will give you some Dubba’s of various shows and Movies every week here, targeting specific genres and demographics, specially hand picked and packed with iDubba’s personalization algorithm!

Yea that’s the IDEA! Loved that :) ? It may look very attractive but its challenging to achieve what we aspire to do here. We need your support, and looking forward to your feedback.

Here goes the first of such Post–

This week’s show and movie dubba(box) for Technology addicts, Adventure-holics and Action lovers!
