- Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing? In two episodes, Professor Jim Al-Khalili searches for an answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness. EVERYTHING: The first part, Everything, sees Professor Al-Khalili set out to discover what the universe might actually look like. The journey takes him from the distant past to the boundaries of the known universe. Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy. NOTHING: Explores science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim Al-Khalili sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made. Everything came from nothing. The quantum world of the super-small shaped the vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim Al-Khalili can prove it
- This stunning, 30-minute voyage through space and time - a full-dome planetarium movie - conveys, through sparkling sights and sounds, the Universe revealed to us by science.
- The Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years. The light that warms our skin today has been felt by every person who has ever lived. It is our nearest star and our planet's powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life. The passage of the Sun's fiery disc across the sky - day by day, month by month - was the only way to keep track of time for countless past civilisations. Don't be fooled by the terminology; although it is a typical dwarf star, the Sun consumes 600 million tons of hydrogen each second and is 500 times as massive as all the planets combined. Discover the secrets of our star in this planetarium show and experience never-before-seen images of the Sun's violent surface in immersive fulldome format. Our team has worked with some of the most talented planetarium producers to bring you this visually striking planetarium show about the most important star in our lives.
- A look at the Drake equation, developed by Dr. Frank Drake as a way to think about the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy that could exist and communicate with us.
- The mathematician Marcus du Sautoy discusses the recent discovery, the faster-than-light neutrino anomaly, that neutrinos may travel faster than light.
- For 20 years, ESO's Very Large Telescope and the Keck telescopes have observed the centre of our Galaxy, looking at the motion of more than a hundred stars and identifying the position of the super-massive black hole at its centre.
- Biosphere Continuum continues on the success of the first Biosphere movie. Among many filming locations worldwide, the film crew went to Nepal to capture the aftermath of the devastate earthquake and how people are copping with the tragedy.
- This is the epic story of the stars, and how discovering their tale has transformed our own understanding of the universe.
- The movie tells the story of the largest astronomical project in existence, from its earliest beginnings, when Europe, North America and East Asia developed a common concept for a new, large telescope for millimetre and submillimetre wavelength observations to observe the coldest and most distant objects in the Universe. It also charts the search for the perfect location and the technical and logistical challenges posed by the building of such a massive infrastructure under extremely harsh conditions and in a remote place.
- Released on the 50th anniversary of the European Southern Observatory, the documentary tells the story of discovering a mysterious Universe by designing, building and operating the most powerful ground-based telescopes on the planet.
- They are the one-stop-shopping places for learning all about the nature and variety of stars in the Universe. They're unique, because in clusters, all the stars were born at about the same time.
- 2021– 20mTV-PG6.7 (22)TV EpisodeCould a petrified creature discovered in Russia be the work of the mythical Baba Yaga? Could this two-headed snake be a genetic experiment gone wrong? And can fire have a mind of its own? Tony Harris and his team of experts examine new videos, photos, and audio recordings and weigh in on what could be behind these unusual events.
- 1974– 52mTV-G8.0 (68)TV EpisodeNova examines the physics of telescope design. Following the development of the telescope over several centuries the program explains the challenges that the major design innovations solved and the inevitable major discoveries they produced.
- This program examines some recent scientific theories of the universe and conceptions about God they may suggest.
- 'Are We Alone?' Hawking considers one of the most important mysteries facing humankind - the possibility of alien, intelligent life. He leads us on a journey rendered in eye-popping detail, from the moons of Jupiter to a galaxy maybe not so far, far away. We will meet possible aliens and wonder at their form, we will delve into the very principles of what it is to call something alive, and we will calculate the likelihood of 'contact' being made.
- 20101h 28mTV-PG8.8 (349)TV EpisodeIn two mind-blowing hours, Hawking reveals the wonders of the cosmos to a new generation. Delve into the mind of the world's most famous living scientist and reveal the splendor and majesty of the universe as never seen before. See how the universe began, how it creates stars, black holes and life - and how everything will end.
- The promise of time travel has long been one of the world's favorite scientific "what-ifs?" Hawking explores all the possibilities, warping the very fabric of time and space as he goes. From killing your grandfather to riding a black hole, we learn the pitfalls and the prospects for a technology that could quite literally, change everything.
- This program considers the likelihood that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe and the prospects that it may inhabit a nearby planet. Then the various methods being used to look for alien intelligence are reviewed.
- Scientists explore a variety of ways that life may have formed on earth and try to recreate them.
- But if we succeed with time travel, what are the consequences of such freedom? Will we get trapped in a plethora of paradoxes and multiple universes that will destroy the fabric of the universe?
- This program repeatedly hammers home the catastrophic impact of a large asteroid impact on earth. Several known large impacts of the past are recounted as well as some recent near hits. Recent and planned missions to explore objects in the asteroid belt are reviewed.
- Modern life would be impossible without plentiful energy, but it's an addiction that could cost the Earth. We rely on fossil fuels - oil, coal, and gas - which all emit the carbon that contributes to global warming. The dilemma is how to keep the lights on without cooking the planet. Future Earth investigates in vivid photo-real CGI, the disastrous consequences of a world where energy is king and worth any price.
