- StarsBrian GreeneAmanda PeetLeonard SusskindA documentary examining string theory.
- DirectorKensuke KishiKazuhiro KitanoToshihito MatsumotoStarsDeb FialkowOur galaxy alone contains hundreds of billions of stars, giving scientists a vast cosmic frontier to search. Could alien life be looking up at its own sky and asking, "Is there life out there?"
- StarsMorgan FreemanSean CarrollMichio KakuHosted by Morgan Freeman, Through the Wormhole will explore the deepest mysteries of existence - the questions that have puzzled mankind for eternity. What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? Are we really alone? Is there a creator? These questions have been pondered by the most exquisite minds of the human race.
- StarsPhil PlaitMichelle ThallerRichard LinternA users guide to the cosmos from the big bang to galaxies, stars, planets and moons. Where did it all come from and how does it all fit together. A primer for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered.
- StarsBrian CoxCarolyn PorcoRichard HooverIn this spellbinding series Professor Brian Cox visits the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the solar system.
- StarsBrian CoxSteven MackintoshRenowned physicist Professor Brian Cox explores the universe's fundamental principles like light, gravity, energy, matter, and time through visits to global locations, unveiling humanity's intimate connection with the cosmos' origins.
- CreatorAnn DruyanCarl SaganSteven SoterStarsCarl SaganJaromír HanzlíkJonathan FahnAstronomer Carl Sagan leads us on an engaging guided tour of the various elements and cosmological theories of the universe.
- DirectorYavar AbbasStarsAlec BaldwinSean PertweePaul EssiembreA journey through space and time.
- StarsBenedict CumberbatchStephen HawkingMelissa RicciIn this comprehensive cosmology series Stephen Hawking looks at the entire universe, from the Big Bang to the end of time.
- StarsStephen HawkingJeff RawleEugene Babaev6-part documentary series from arguably the greatest scientific mind in the world, the wheelchair-bound Stephen Hawking, which describes all current thinking on the Big Bang, origins of the universe, dark matter, black holes, etc. Includes interviews with leading astronomers and scientists, some commentary from the great man himself, and computer models of the theories.
- StarsNeil deGrasse TysonChad CohenZiya TongUncover the complicated truth behind our sense of taste.
- DirectorLuke EllisStarsRobert HazenNeil deGrasse TysonMarcelo GleiserWas life triggered by some event, like lightning hitting a pond full of amino acids? Earth was teeming with life billions of years before the dinosaurs existed. Single celled organisms inundated the oceans, and the soil swarmed with living creatures. Where did it all come from and how do you go from a single-celled organism to a trillion-celled organism like man?
- DirectorBruce NeibaurStarsStephen HawkingLina PatelJosie GammellOlivia is a twenty-something reporter assigned to the religion beat for the London Times. She is on deadline to write a feature story about cosmology and the meaning of existence on the 100th anniversary of Einstein's proposing the special theory of relativity. Olivia is scheduled to interview the "rock star" of cosmologists, Stephen Hawking. A skeptic when it comes to scientific facts, she firmly believes science holds no meaning for the Big Questions of life. The interview with Stephen Hawking leads to more than Olivia bargained for-a whirlwind journey through time and space, where deep space images explode onto the big screen and where the "Big Questions" are answered for Olivia and the audience with ease and whimsy.
- StarsMichio KakuZorikh LequidreLuke CroweWhat first appears to be a send-up of classic science fiction is in fact a thorough examination of the real-world science behind the sensationalism. In the pilot episode, the physics behind a hypothetical alien invasion are explained. With the help of scientists and engineers from NASA, JPL, the Department of Energy, the U.S. Army, a major special effects studio, and various universities, the Sci-Fi Science crew explores force fields, lasers, lightning guns, rail guns, extrasolar planets and other "science fiction" concepts that are in fact, quite real. A campy, animation-rich alien invasion of Los Angeles provides the jumping-off point for real science demonstrations.
- StarsAdam SavageJamie HynemanMatt ShirvingtonA show dedicated to showcasing developments in science and technology.
- StarsDanica McKellarLink NealRhett McLaughlinDesigned as the next-generation source of interactive science information on television and on the web, Brink is the premier series for immersing viewers on the front lines of cutting-edge breakthroughs in technology, research, inventions, discoveries and the mysteries of the scientific world. The series explores people who are on the brink of changing our lives, and will also include content generated from scientists, organizations, universities and viewers from around the world. The series provides viewers with a clear understanding of the impact and relevance science has in our lives today, and offers significant insights into how science may profoundly change our lives tomorrow. Each half-hour episode combines short-form reports on the latest global science news with vital interviews with prominent scientists. Brink's innovative format will also include unusual segments covering a range of subjects from peculiar, avant-garde research to "backyard inventors" who are pushing the limits of science in their own way - such as building their own space craft.
- StarsJosh CharlesMartin SheenRobin WilliamsThis program is made by the Discovery Network, and the show's 'full-name' has the suffix phrase of "The Questions of Our Life", after curiosity. The show tries to answer mysteries and certain queries within diverse fields like the human mind, history, archaeology, medicine, anthropology, nature, biology, space and history. While the show was being planned, Discovery's game-plan was to air twelve one-hour episodes each season for five years. However, when "Curiosity..." did premiere in August of 2011, it began a weekly broadcast schedule that ran the full first season, which ended with the 13th episode on November, 20, 2011. Similarly, the second season also followed the weekly format, between October 7, 2012 and January 27, 2013. Since then, there has only been one episode broadcast under the umbrella title of "Curiosity: The Questions of Our Life". This was the episode named "Stonehenge", which was shown on July 20, 2014. Two websites have emerged since the series debut, both of which deal with analogous subject matter, which achieve their individual goals strategically.
