Season 1 episodes (8)
1 Is There a Creator?
6/9/10
Season-only
Did our Universe come into being by chance or was it created by a God? The latest science shows that the four forces governing our universe are finely tuned, so much so that it has led many to believe that something must have calibrated them.
2 The Riddle of the Black Holes
6/16/10
Season-only
They are the most powerful objects in the universe. Astronomers now think there are billions of them, swallowing up planets and stars in violent feeding frenzies, and that reality may take place on a two-dimensional hologram at the edge of the universe.
3 Is Time Travel Possible?
6/23/10
Season-only
Einstein's Theory of Relativity says time travel is possible, if you're going forward in time. But finding a way to travel backwards requires breaking the speed of light. Now strange-but-true phenomena such as quantum nonlocality may make this a reality.
4 What Happened Before the Beginning?
6/30/10
Season-only
Cosmologists and astronomers agree: our Universe is 13.7 billion years old. Using cutting-edge technology, scientists are now able to take a snapshot of the Universe a mere heartbeat after its birth. But if the Universe was born, where did it come from?
5 How Did We Get Here?
7/7/10
Season-only
Everywhere we look on Earth, in the most hospitable of environments and in the most extreme, we find life. Yet we have only ever found life on our planet. How did the stuff of stars come together to create life as we know it? What do we mean by 'life'?
6 Are We Alone?
7/14/10
Season-only
Aliens almost certainly do exist. So why haven't we yet met E.T.? We're only just developing instruments powerful enough to scan for them. One leading astronomer believes she may already have heard a hint of their first efforts to communicate.
7 What Are We Made Of?
7/21/10
Season-only
Our understanding of the universe and reality has drastically changed over the last 100 years, and it's on the verge of another seismic shift based on LHC findings. What we find could validate theories about how the world works and what we are made of.
8 Beyond the Darkness
7/28/10
Season-only
What is the universe made of? If you answered stars, planets, gas and dust, you're wrong. Today scientists think there must be five times as much dark matter as regular matter, but they have no idea what it is only that it's not made of atoms we know of.

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.
