‎NOVA: The Fabric of the Cosmos - Apple TV

Available on Prime Video

Based on the book by Brian Greene, The Fabric of the Cosmos takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time and the universe. Viewers will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognize, a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.

EPISODE 1

The Illusion of Time

Brian Greene reveals space as a dynamic fabric that can stretch, twist, warp, and ripple under the influence of gravity. Stranger still is a newly discovered ingredient of space that actually makes up 70% percent of the universe. Physicists call it dark energy because while they know it’s out there, driving space to expand ever more quickly, they have no idea what it is.

EPISODE 3

Quantum Leap

Join Brian Greene on a wild ride into the weird realm of quantum physics, which governs the universe on the tiniest of scales. Brian brings quantum mechanics to life in a nightclub like no other, where objects pop in and out of existence, and things over here can affect others over there, instantaneously—without anything crossing the space between them.

EPISODE 4

Universe or Multiverse?

Cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of worlds that make up the multiverse. Brian Greene takes us on a tour of this brave new theory at the frontier of physics, explaining why scientists believe it’s true and showing what some of these alternate realities might be like.
