Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing? Professor Jim Al-Khalili searches for an answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.

Professor of physics Jim Al-Khalili investigates the most accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever - quantum physics.

通过六件现代人认为理所当然的标志性物品，让我们来一次令人振奋的人类历史之旅，看看科学、发明和技术是如何相辅相成地改变一切的。

Professor Jim Al-Khalili takes us back in time to tackle the greatest question in science: how did the universe begin? Uncovering the origins of the universe is regarded as humankind's greatest intellectual achievement. By recreating key experiments Jim unravels the cosmic mystery of science's creation story before witnessing a moment, one millionth of a second, after the universe sprang into existence.

Horizon goes behind the scenes at CERN to follow one of the most epic and expensive scientific quests of all time: the search for the Higgs particle, believed to give mass to everything in our universe.
However, the hunt for Higgs is part of a much grander search for how the universe works. It promises to help answer questions like why we exist and is a vital part of a Grand Unified Theory of nature. At the heart of the pursuit of the elusive particle is the same feature that makes snowflakes beautiful and human faces attractive: the simple and enchanting idea of symmetry.-------------（@BBC Two）

Six months after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the release of radiation there, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to discover whether nuclear power is safe.
He begins in Japan, where he meets some of the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from the exclusion zone. He travels to an abandoned village just outside the zone to witness a nuclear clean-up operation.
Jim draws on the latest scientific findings from Japan and from the previous explosion at Chernobyl to understand how dangerous the release of radiation is likely to be and what that means for our trust in nuclear power.

For one night only, Professor Brian Cox goes unplugged in a specially recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his own inimitable style, Brian takes an audience of famous faces, scientists and members of the public on a journey through some of the most challenging concepts in physics. With the help of Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican and James May, Brian shows how diamonds - the hardest material in nature - are made up of nothingness; how things can be in an infinite number of places at once; why everything we see or touch in the universe exists; and how a diamond in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos.

混沌理论，一直是困扰人类数千年的一个迷。这种在动态系统中无法用单一的数据关系解释和预测的神秘理论，在科学界只有初步的了解。在本部纪录片中，吉姆·奥卡利里教授将带领我们探索这神秘的混沌理论，试图揭开这层归因于神奇或者上帝力量的神秘面纱。
吉姆教授带着宇宙是如何由从尘埃中诞生，又是如何孕育出智慧生命的难题，开始了他的探秘旅程。混沌中的数学可以解释宇宙中从无序中产生有序的神奇景象，他揭示出大自然那些令人叹为观止的美丽和结构中隐藏的科学规律，它是物理定律的固有的组成。看过本片之后，你眼中的世界会变得与众不同。

Jim Al-Khalili教授在本三集纪录片中，带领观众探究元素背后的故事。
