Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions
there are - what is everything, and what is nothing?
In two epic, surreal and mind-expanding films, 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.
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.
The second part, Nothing, explores science at the very limits of
human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of
the universe lie. Jim 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 can prove it.
