Everything - and Nothing
From the award winning team that brought you The Secret Life of
Chaos come two new films: Everything and Nothing which together
undertake an epic journey to uncover the true size of everything
and the amazing science behind empty space.
In Everything Professor Jim Al-Khalili asks a very simple question
- why does it get dark at night?
The journey to find the answer will take him to the boundaries of
the known universe.
Along the way Jim 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.
Nothing deals with science at the very limits of human
perception, where 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 made. Everything came from nothing.
The quantum world of the super small gave rise to the vast universe
we inhabit today - and Jim can prove it.
Part science, part philosophy and part history, Everything and
Nothing combine these elements into a gripping and spectacular
narrative that together make a truly unforgettable series.
