It totally helps me tie together some of the loose concepts floating around in my head. Thank you I have been longing for these topics to be covered.

This last episode is a bit of a tie in to all things spectra theme that helps us to understand how scientist are exploring our universe. Granted, I had to listen to the Energy Level and Spectra podcast 3 times to start to grasp it, but its not Pam and Frasier's fault that I cannot always pick it up on the first listen. My next request would be to hear Dr. Pamela Gay tell us what she thinks of the Craig Hogan idea of the universe as a Hologram, backed up by preliminary findings on the Geo600 project, bet I would really stub my toe on that subject! Great work guys, I recommend you highly and hope the episodes continue to flow from you like water from a spring. John Kirby I like what is being provided.

It's like the bread and butter of astronomers. Many (most) most astronomical discoveries are made using spectra. It's how they know how fast something is moving, what it's made out of, how old it is, and what it's related to. You think spectra is an obscure theory? It's like the bread and butter of astronomers.

Your early shows about the planets and their moons, star formation and overviews of theories of gravity and electromagnetism always left me wanting more. More recently, your topics simply remind me why academia has no sense of what the general public desires.
