Comments on: The Other Side of Infinity: addendum http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/02/01/the-other-side-of-infinity-addendum/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Maybe someone who bough their Alfa over 30 years ago and hasn't been able to afford a second one since (but the first one's still running fine). Uh, how did you know I was the "Alfa" Jack Hagerty, and not the "Porsche" Jack Hagerty from Louisiana? (we can take this off line so as to not bore the other good people here.) - Jack Bob sez: “Why would someone who has enough money to be an Alpha Romeo aficionado (Jack Hagerty, namely) nag about the amount of money someone else gets?”

I've heard your voice many times, and now I see your post on a blog I frequent. Small world, indeed! I live in Parkersburg and have attended shows at the Clay Center (opera to symphony to planetarium) since they opened. When I saw BA's blog about this planetarium show, the Clay Center was my first thought. I'm glad you beat me to the punch, and I hope your inquiry will lead to the show making its way to "Almost Heaven." Go Mountaineers and Go Herd! Hi Chuck.

Congratulations, Phil, on your participation. The trailer looks very nice and the credits are cool. I´ve had the chance to see two of the other major shows they have in exhibition: - "The Search for Life: Are We Alone?" narrated by Harrison Ford and - "Passport to the Universe", narrated by Tom Hanks, at the new Rose Center for Earth and Space of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, and they are both awesome, they rock! I really recommend them to anyone who might have the chance to see them. I´ll put this new one on my list, as I´m sure it will be up to the expectations , especially with you as a science consultant :) In the meantime, I hope you have already recovered from the crazy Las Vegas lifestyle and I do hope you were left with enough money to manage to get back home. Or did you hit the jackpot? :) I think you did hit the jackpot as you are doing what you like to do, you get paid (not much) to do it and you are having fun at the same time. The way it should be. To finish it up, you are sharing all these with the rest of us. Cheers! Looks like this is one of those amazing and inspiring shows in Astronomy done in recent years.

Here in Charleston, West Virginia, we have a relatively new facility called the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, and it has a very nice planetarium. I would LOVE for them to get this film about black holes, it looks excellent. What person or organization would I point them to if they wanted information on getting this film?
