Description

The universe is a vast and complex place, with 13.7 billion years of history and 93 billion light years of width. It contains over 100 billion galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars. This infinite universe has been the subject of human fascination and scientific exploration for thousands of years. Professor Brian Cox uses the natural world around us to explain the simple truths of the universe. He shows how the laws of light, gravity, time, matter and energy that govern us on Earth are also at work in the universe. Using 3D CGI imagery, Cox brings this complex subject to life, making it easier to understand the impact of these laws on our planet.
