Product Description
Morgan freeman, Oscar winning Hollywood star, hosts this fascinating exploration into the deepest mysteries of existence, science and faith. He searches for answers to such questions as: Did our Universe just come into being by chance or was it created by a God who looks after us? Where did mankind come from if billions of years ago our planet was just a ball of molten rock? What happens to an object when it falls into a black hole? Can anything ever escape from black holes? Einstein s Theory of Relatively says that time travel is possible if you re going forward in time, but finding a way to travel backwards requires breaking the speed of light. Do we have the capabilities to do this? Is life on Earth unique, are we truly alone or do life forms exist elsewhere, and would they be interested in interacting with us?
These are just some of the incredible concepts that Morgan freeman delves into with the help of the greatest scientists alive today in this truly mind blowing set of programmes.

Format:Blu-ray
I bought this blu ray from Netherlands as although UK is the first place for nonsense to be released, it is the last place for anything of any educational material to be made available and i do not mind telling you that i enjoyed watching it.
The clarity of the blu ray compliments the substance nicely.
It describes universe, space time and even the possibility of time travel in a very easy to understand language and in that, it manages to get a wow from you more then once or twice.
the only drawback is that for some reason, the producers released 2 seasons for TV viewing but only hand picked a few episodes to put on this blu ray.
so this is for anyone from Discovery channel who may be reading this, "Get your act together and release them all... you know, the old fashion way of Season 1... Season 2..."

Format:DVD
I watched this series on the Discovery Channel, and have since purchased the DVD.
What I like best about the series, is it uses the actual scientists who are researching the topics, to explain their work and the latest discoveries in their field. This really helps bring the subjects to life, and the scientists themselves are usually lively and interesting watch. (Not boring, dry scientists as you might expect!)
Morgan's narration is also excellent, and ties the programme together brilliantly.
Really pleased this got a European DVD release, I hope the second series does too.

This dvd collection is amazing. Some of the episodes and the things they discuss have blown my mind. It was this series that prompted my husband to explore his interest in space and the universe. Morgan Freemans commentary is excellent and makes it very accessible. Would definitely recommend.

Blu ray should be quality
This blu ray disc, however, was faulty amazingly. I thought blu ray discs would be perfect but my copy kept freezing all the time, not what you would expect. Read more
