- A Glorious Dawn
[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time
- Children Of Africa
[Jacob Bronowski]
Man is a singular creature;
He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals
So that unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape
He is the shaper of the landscape
[Alice Roberts]
We are all children of Africa
- Ode to the Brain
[Robert Winston]
It's amazing to consider that I'm holding in my hands
The place where someone once felt, thought, and loved
For centuries, scientists have been battling to understand
What this unappealing object is all about
[Vilayanur Ramachandran]
Here is this mass of jelly
- Onward To The Edge
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
The act of moving onward means we pass these sign posts
One of them was first leaving earth
The next one is hanging out on the moon
What's next? The planets
Onward to the edge
We're moving onward to the edge
- Our Place In The Cosmos
[Narrator]
With every century
Our eyes on the universe have been opened anew
We are witness
To the very brink of time and space
[Robert Jastrow]
We must ask ourselves
- Secret of the stars
Say, do you like mystery stories?
Well we have one for you.
The concept: relativity. That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.
Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.
Why do the stars shine?
Why does the galaxy light up?
- The Big Beginning
[Hawking]
We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us
They must have been closer together in the past
It was the beginning of the universe
And of time itself
Anything that happened before the big bang
Could not affect what happened after
- The Greatest Show on Earth
[David Attenborough]
How could one species turn into another?
[Richard Dawkins]
How is it that we find ourselves surrounded by such complexity, such elegance?
[Bill Nye]
The genes of you and me
- The Poetry Of Reality
[Michael Shermer]
Science is the best tool ever devised
For understanding how the world works
[Jacob Bronowski]
Science is a very human form of knowledge
We are always at the brink of the known
- The Quantum World
[Morgan Freeman]
So, what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
and you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces
Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
- The Unbroken Thread
[David Attenborough]
All life is related
And it enables us to construct with confidence
The complex tree that represents the history of life
Our planet, the Earth, is as far as we know
Unique in the universe; it contains life
Here plants and animals proliferate in such numbers
- We Are All Connected
[deGrasse Tyson]
We are all connected;
To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically
[Feynman]
I think nature's imagination
