Tonight (check local listings for times) PBS will air the third of four installments from Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos series. If you missed the first two here is what you need to know:

1) Empty space is in fact not at all empty, it has structure and objects will mass warp that structure

2) Time is not a constant, it is completely relative to your perspective within the universe

After the one hour segment on The Fabric of the Cosmos PBS will rerun the second installment of Green's series on The Elegant Universe. These are both a must see for anyone interested in a fairly easily accessible explanation of the current theories of the universe. Feel free to come back here and post comments on the show after it airs!

Here is a link to NOVA, I'm pretty sure you can watch the past episodes in their entirety on the website!
