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 Relativity 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 what do they look like? Is it possible for scientists to find aliens and communicate with them, 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. - Director:
