Geek Moment of the Day -- Curiosity

August 14, 2011


Curiosity is a new show on the Discovery Channel and it's GREAT! Each week a new host takes us on a journey to answer a question. Last week Stephen Hawking asked "Did God create the Universe?", and this week Michelle Rodriguez(Lost, Avatar) asked "Are we ready for an Alien invasion?". Both episodes are amazing, and they got a wide variety of people to help answer these questions. Included are physicists, engineers, government officials, military officials, doctors, etc. so you know that the information included in the show will be complete.

What I like the most about the show is that every week is not the same. Most shows like this pick a type of topic and go the full series with that. Mega Disasters, or The Universe for example. Next week is hosted by Maggie Gyllenhal, and the question is "Why is sex fun?". If that's not a change of pace then I don't know what is. I'm sure it'll focus on biology, and psychology a lot, but for someone who is interested in science, but is not interested in physics then this change of pace is a great thing.

Tune into this series if you get the chance. New episodes air every Sunday at 8/7c on the Discovery Channel, and then randomly throughout the week. And as they say, check local listings for more.
