Customer Reviews
I give it 5 stars because it is better than 4 and I couldn't rate it at 4.5. What's missing? Despite the wide range advanced topics included, the series insists on avoiding scientific notation and instead says things like a million billion billion. In my opinion, "Ten-to-the-24" would be understood by 99% of the viewers, and the other 1% can learn scientific notation as a bonus.
Also, if you are going to insist on using Fahrenheit degrees, don't just say "degrees". The metric system is taught in grade school in the USA, why not use it?
Still, very enjoyable.
