Stephen Hawking's Universe

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.

The master of time tackles time travel. Hawking explores the world's favorite scientific 'what if?' He 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.

From the Big Bang to the ultimate cosmic implosion, the life span of the universe is mapped out in stunning CGI in this two hour conclusion. More like spinning a good yarn than presenting weighty scientific theory, Hawking shares how the universe was first formed and how it’s ever changing make up points to an inevitable break up of the cosmos. One universe’s end is another’s beginning and Hawking illustrates how our world will eventually lead to new worlds being created in the far reaches of space.
