2021Through the Wormhole
Kurt Sayenga, Laura Verklan
Morgan Freeman, Sean Carroll
Сериал исследует самые глубокие тайны существования — вопросы, которые всегда озадачивали человечество. Из чего мы сделаны? Что было перед началом всего? Действительно ли мы одиноки во вселенной? Есть ли создатель? Эти вопросы были обдуманы самыми изящными умами человеческого рода. Теперь, наука приблизилась к сути, в область где твердые факты и свидетельства могут быть в состоянии предоставить нам ответы, вместо философских теорий. «Через Червоточину» примирит самые яркие умы и лучшие идеи с самых передних краев наук, — астрофизики, астробиологии, квантовой механики, теории струн, и более — чтобы показать экстраординарную правду о нашей Вселенной.

The Great Math Mystery
Dan McCabe, Richard Reisz
Jay O. Sanders, Glenn Kalison
NOVA leads viewers on a mathematical mystery tour -- a provocative exploration of math's astonishing power across the centuries. We discover math's signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the prediction and discovery of the Higgs boson and the successful landing of rovers on Mars. But where does math get its power? Astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio, along with a colorful cast of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, follows math from Pythagoras to Einstein and beyond, all leading to the ultimate riddle: Is math an invention or a discovery? Humankind's clever trick or the language of the universe?

Science fiction has long anticipated the rise of machine intelligence, and today a new generation of self-learning computers has begun to reshape every aspect of our lives. Will A.I. usher in an age of unprecedented potential, or prove to be our final invention?

The Principle
Katheryne Thomas
Kate Mulgrew, Michio Kaku
"The Principle" brings to light astonishing new scientific observations challenging the Copernican Principle; the foundational assumption underlying the modern scientific world view. The idea that the Earth occupies no special or favored position in the cosmos has launched the last two scientific revolutions - the Copernican Revolution and Relativity - and, as Lawrence Krauss has said, we could be on the verge of a third, with "Copernicus coming back to haunt us". Interviews with leading cosmologists are interspersed with the views of dissidents and mavericks, bringing into sharp focus the challenges and implications not only for cosmology, but for our cultural and religious view of reality.
