I liked it better when people referred to it as the Hitler Channel. ;)
WWII 24/7. Those were the days.
“This is a subject I don’t see anyway of discussing without raising religious beliefs.”
They’ll manage to.
Hitler? Was that the name of a UFO incident? /s
I too miss the old History channel, now that Dogfights has been canceled, the only worthwhile show on it is Modern Marvels.
Weekly World News is no more!? But they were so close to finding Bat Boy.
Tiny mustard seed

Impossibly small
It is the pre-History channel. And recently they also did a speculative broadcast about planet Earth after man is gone.
On a serious note: I looked up the program description and it is;
Exploring the myths and mysteries of the universe. Included: the possibility of life on Mars; time travel; the theory of a dark star that’s a companion to our sun. Also: the big bang theory.
Doesn’t look there will be much about the BB but I’ll watch. This has been an outstanding series.
Nothing happened before the big bang, as the big bang was a singualirty where matter, time, and space were created.
What was there before the ‘big bang?’ A very interesting philosophical and scientific question, to be sure! Scientists will demur, saying that only with the ‘big bang’ does science actually begin. Everything and anything prior to that is not in the realm of science. But it is in the realm of our thought. Surely, there was a ‘something’ before the ‘big bang.’ If not, are we real or are we illusion? Quantum physics has raised far more questions than it has answered, but one extrapolation of quantum findings might suggest that there is no definable difference between what exists and what does not. If that should be the case, what are we? — men who dream of being butterflies, or butterflies dreaming ourselves to be men? And, if either, where and why?
At the level of the pre big bang, there is no
human empirical science, no observers, no humans.
So everything mankind says about that epoch is
purely speculative. All comments will not be based
on any type of western scientific evidence.
Since no human was there.
P.S. since we cannot really determine where and how
fast the subatomic phenomena are at the same time
(Heisenberg, y’now)...
how do you think we can figure out what happened
before there was “physics”?
If you believe in probability and wave functions,
try it at the crap table some night in Vegas...
Is the Big Bang “Theory” still thought of as a theory, or did it become a fact when I wasn’t paying attention?
If we’re just an illusion, is empirical science an illusion?
Are we having an illusion that we are illusory in reality?
Oh, my head is beginning to hurt. Now is that pain, or
just a chemical reacton in my brain/neuron interface?
...and quit calling us Shirley!
Turtles, all the way down.
Steven Hawking said that “to ask what happened one second before the Big Bang is the same as asking what is located one mile north of the north pole.”
Not surely.
You’d almost get sea sick from watching the credits on Victory at Sea.
For real, their programming has taken a turn toward suckville as of late.
They have had a few shows that I would start to watch and 5 minutes in a statement was made total opposite about recorded history so I’d turn it off.
“And thus, before the big bang there was Obama, and Obama was good and Obama started the process by which all matter wa able to come together”
Obama, 3:54
