Nothing on this stupid show is a fact like scientists believe. The only way it could become facts is with proof and that will never be possible, oh and just to let all of you scientists know science is supposed to be used to help save and understand lives, not destroy faith. You stupid atheists.

Funny how you never saw any of this,"can't be viewed in your country crap till the control of the internet was handed over by our president to a Chinese co. If I'm paying, or willing to pay, I'll watch it if I please. Or you can do without my business entirely.

The laws of thermodynamics can be boiled down to two types of energy, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is expansive energy and non-interactive while, kinetic energy is attractive and highly interactive. The only possiblity for interactions to occur in an expansion field is if, and only if, it collides with another expansion field of potential energy to become kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is where life's interactions begin.
