Some people seem to think it is imperative to come up with every possible negative scenario in life and then throw it at a screen as if it is imminent. This show is another of those. I just read the description of one of the episodes and all I can ask is "WHY?". The science is pop-science and fails to recognize that 1) the likelihood and existence of the initial event is being re-investigated as we watch by its original proponent, and 2)If the initial event were to occur as currently understood then the secondary event would be entirely moot. The earth would have ceased to exist long before the secondary event ( to which most of the program is devoted)could happen.
One thing is certain at this point in our development; We will all die from something. Don't waste your time listening to navel gazing, hand wringing Middle Eastern twaddle and you just may start to enjoy life a bit more. It's an important concept as all our times are limited!
