- CreatorKevin BurnsStarsRobert ClotworthyGiorgio A. TsoukalosDavid ChildressScience and mythology - and how they are the same thing.
- StarsErik ThompsonAlex FilippenkoLaura DanlyThis educational show explores many scientific questions and topics about the universe (Big Bang, the Sun, the planets, black holes, other galaxies, astrobiology etc.) through latest CGI, data and interviews with scientists.
- StarsNeil deGrasse TysonChristopher EmersonKeythe FarleyAn exploration of our discovery of the laws of nature and coordinates in space and time.
- StarsBrian GreeneAmanda PeetLeonard SusskindA documentary examining string theory.
- StarsBenedict CumberbatchStephen HawkingMelissa RicciIn this comprehensive cosmology series Stephen Hawking looks at the entire universe, from the Big Bang to the end of time.
- StarsGene KranzGary SiniseJim LovellNarrated by Gary Sinise, this HD series chronicles the space age from Mercury missions to moon landings, Soyuz link-ups, and untethered spacewalks through astronauts' own footage, capturing humankind's greatest adventure.
- DirectorGraham JuddSabin StreeterStarsChristopher BergerRaphael BoussoRobert CannonSimple, obvious, ever-present aspects of our daily lives give scientists fits trying to understand them. One of these aspects is space which physicists are convinced is something more than nothing. This program explains the experiments that are giving scientists hints about what space is.
- 1974– 45mTV-PG8.3 (217)TV EpisodeDirectorRandall MacLowryStarsDavid AlbertKelly CalabreseSean CarrollThis program challenges our traditional questions about time such as; does it flow in one direction or does it flow at all? Does everyone experience the same now? Is time travel possible? Will time come to an end?
- DirectorJulia CortJosh RosenStarsAllan AdamsChristopher Mark ChanJohn ClauserThis program explains some of the weirdest aspects of quantum mechanics: uncertainty and entanglement. Despite the absurdity of these behaviors they have been confirmed time and again and have never been refuted. Lastly the theory that suggests the possibility that teleportation and quantum computers may be possible are examined.
- 1974– 45mTV-PG8.3 (167)TV EpisodeDirectorRushmore DeNooyerStarsAndy AlbrechtRaphael BoussoBrian GreeneHard as it is to swallow, cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of worlds that make up the multiverse. In this show, Brian Greene takes us on a tour of this brave new theory at the frontier of physics, explaining why scientists believe it's true and showing what some of these alternate realities might be like.
- StarsBrian CoxSteven MackintoshRenowned physicist Professor Brian Cox explores the universe's fundamental principles like light, gravity, energy, matter, and time through visits to global locations, unveiling humanity's intimate connection with the cosmos' origins.
- StarsBrian CoxBill AndersCharles DukeBrian travels the globe to discuss these topics with examples from our planet and others in the universe.
- DirectorIan CheneyStarsJennifer L. MacaladyDavide D'AngeloAxel CleeremansThe Most Unknown is an epic documentary film that sends nine scientists to extraordinary parts of the world to uncover unexpected answers to some of humanity's biggest questions. How did life begin? What is time? What is consciousness? How much do we really know? By introducing researchers from diverse backgrounds for the first time, then dropping them into new, immersive field work they previously hadn't tackled, the film reveals the true potential of interdisciplinary collaboration, pushing the boundaries of how science storytelling is approached. What emerges is a deeply human trip to the foundations of discovery and a powerful reminder that the unanswered questions are the most crucial ones to pose. Directed by Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ian Cheney (The Search for General Tso, The City Dark) and advised by world-renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, The Wrath of God, Grizzly Man), The Most Unknown is an ambitious look at a side of science never before shown on screen. The film was made possible by a grant from Science Sandbox, a Simons Foundation initiative dedicated to engaging everyone with the process of science.
- DirectorSteve AmezdrozStarsLisa KalteneggerMalcolm McDowellCarl SaganJourney from the depths of the Pacific Ocean into the far reaches of space on a quest to find something that changes everything...signs of life, somewhere else in the universe. With cutting-edge imagery from the world's most powerful telescopes, The Search for Life in Space takes audiences from the surface of Mars and the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, to the extreme lava fields of Hawaii and thermal vents deep beneath the sea. In these harsh environments, astrobiologists look for clues to how life takes hold. As this immersive adventure into the universe reveals the possibility of planets like ours, The Search for Life in Space will make you re-examine such fundamental questions as: "Where did we come from?", "How did we get here?" and "Are we alone?"
