This was an awesome Nova program. I particularly liked the part regarding dark matter and the folded universe hypothesizing how filaments may be explained.

The Universe started out as a crumpled wad of paper that god/dog had rejected...and then Inflation happened :!:

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets, rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
