Season 6 episodes (6)

1 Are We All Bigots?
4/29/15
Season-only
If you had less than one second to make a life-or-death decision to shoot a man who might be armed with a lethal weapon, science shows that Americans -- black and white -- are more likely to mistakenly shoot a black man than a white man. Why?
2 Can Time Go Backwards?
5/6/15
Season-only
We move around in space, but we are stuck in a prison of time moving ever forwards. Is our experience of the ticking clock merely a trick of the mind? Could science ever make the clock move backwards?
3 Are We Here for a Reason?
5/13/15
Season-only
Evolution tells us that all life exists for one purpose: to reproduce. But is that all there is? How could such a simple imperative lead us to create great civilizations? A new theory suggests that instead of passing on genes, we have another purpose.
4 Do We Live in the Matrix?
5/20/15
Season-only
Our universe seems real. But what if it's a videogame? If you thought The Matrix was only a farfetched movie fantasy, think again. Scientists in a variety of fields are taking seriously the possibility that we live in a virtual reality.
5 Are Aliens Inside Us?
5/27/15
Season-only
Odds are excellent that extraterrestrial life exists. So why haven't we found aliens out in the galaxy? Are we looking in the wrong places? New research shows we should look closer to home, even inside our bodies.
6 Why Do We Lie?
6/3/15
Season-only
Are our brains wired for lying from a young age? The brains of pathological liars may provide insights. Will technology make it easier for us to be dishonest, or could it someday instantly reveal someone is lying?

I was given a link to this video as part of the birthday promo, however, it says that the rental period has expired. I have never even played it or been able to watch it yet. Of all the Google products, the video availability has been one of the worst. Get it together Google!!

I was happy to learn theat Morgan Freeman was commentator in a series. But beware that on his episodes he does not use facts he uses his opinion that are not based on any facts at all, also some of the episodes are so silly.

High level science turned simple for business people and less educted science lovers. It explains the now, the next, and the future in an entertaining and educational way that can be utilized by VCs as well bar patrons looking for a great discussion tomorrow. Plus it gives space for common men to make opinions to amazing research. If I could give it ten stars I would, bravo Morgan, finally a reason to turn on a television.
