http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_mirror_telescopes

Check that crap out, ferrofluid mirror potential! What I wonder is are the optical properties of liquid metal any good. For instance, they are using gold in the James Webb telescope because it reflects nearly all infrared light. What would the optical quality of these metals be? Sometime tells me polished glass structures would be both higher resolution and use materials that are optimized to reflect the spectrum you are interested in. The Wiki seems to indicate the real advantage isn't in the optical quality, but the relative inexpensive in creation. Much like paying a hooker for 5 years of polishing your nob, polishing a mirror is costly.

I know - it's so fantastic. I don't think I've ever laughed more out loud at any show. I'm sad that this is supposed to be their last season.

My only other recommendations with these guys is: "That Mitchell and Webb Look" - which is both of them but in a skit format. Lots of clips on VideoSift.

And "Would I lie to You" - which is a panel show, but is still laugh out loud hilarious and has David Mitchell on it.

never liked the sketch show but loved peep show


This wasn't their best sketch. Like any sketch show there's ups and downs (which they did a sketch about) but there was so much gold in there

But Webb do you think about the peasants America slaughtered in the millions?

Dammit-all! It appears that Dr. James Webb is sporting a wedding band [sigh] ... just my rotten luck =o/

BBC has supplied me with more laughs over the past several years from recent comedies than all other networks combined. I give The Office and Extras as exhibit A.


And Mitchell and Webb
