Jerry,

By the way, I also saw "The Mechanical Universe" on KCET in LA (Channel
28) this past Wednesday around 3 or 4 PM.  The subject was the
fundamental forces of the universe - gravity and electricity - and I
agree it was very well done.

The graphics were just beautiful, i.e. taking you through a linear
accelerator as though you were the atom itself being accelerated. There
was plenty of 3D panning and zooming so you could see all the mechanics
on the walls and the electromagnetic forces were represented with
graphics so you could see the effects as you passed through them.
Excellent.

It is unfortunate it gets no publicity.  I just happened upon it by
chance.  I think I'll start recording it weekly.
