Everything and Nothing Online

Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing? In two episodes, 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. EVERYTHING: The first part, Everything, sees Professor Al-Khalili set out to discover what the universe might actually look like. The journey takes him from the distant past to the boundaries of the known universe. Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy. NOTHING: Explores science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim Al-Khalili sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most ...

I was surprised to learn this was produced in 2011. In that time (6 fully completed orbits around Sol), Google's AI beats a World Champion in Go, Gravitational Waves have been confirmed, Space-X repeatedly lands rocket boosters back to a tiny platform on the ocean, Proxima-B has been discovered, SDSS J0100+2802 is found, and the Larsen Ice Shelf has separated a 5,800 sq/km behemoth 'berg...

What I'm getting at - this exceptional documentary is so timely that in my novice mind, I thought it was produced within the last couple of years...not over six years certainly. It holds up very well. It doesn't mention String Theory though...but oh so very close...

I suspect a majority of the major scientific masterminds that are mentioned are not well-known; unless you practice within cosmology, astrophysics, mathematics, or esoteric philosophies. Of course, these giants are easily recognized by anyone around an 11th grade campfire (or so we hope) e.g. Aristotle, Euclid, Pascal, Einstein, or Hubbell - and I'll admit my ignorance, I've not heard these names Torricelli, Digges, Dee, Dirac (foolish, forgive me).

Professor, Dr. Jim Al-Khalili does a magnificent job at presenting these very complex edicts - so much so - that I think it's better than any Cosmos presentation to date. Sorry Dr. Tyson.

Great explanations of these hard-to-grasp theories. Very creative visualisations. Engaging narration.

A great overview of the mathematical and scientific achievements of man that have helped us to understand the true nature of reality. I've watched many, many science documentaries and this one managed to reveal many things I hadn't yet learned, including an experiment proving the quantum foam of nothingness is a real thing, and that the large scale structure of the universe (the macro) is all thanks to quantum fluctuations (the micro). Really everything is so elegantly explained. Highly recommend.
