The Great Courses
review 1: I hadn't listened to a Great Course before, but after hearing this, I ran out and put a bunch of them on my wishlist.Dr. Tyson has a wonderful speaking voice, and the topic is absolutely engaging. Even if you're a science and space nerd, give this a listen. He goes over the parts of the universe that were previously unexplained (and why that was), and explores what we can't currently explain with our current models.
review 2: This has been fun and informative. I will admit I didn't understand much about the lecture on the periodic table. That beast has always baffled me. I really enjoyed the lecture on black holes and the expanding universe.The professor's poking fun at anyone who looks for "the hand of God" in the mysteries of the universe was a bit annoying.
... moreBut, after all, I am listening to his lectures to hear his opinion, not my own. less

A fascinating outline for lay readers of continuing issues and problems physicists face today.

A few lectures dealing with unknown things in science. As always Tyson is great.
