Excerpts:

Part.1 . Is There A Creator??

"But all of our attempts to understand nature so far have been fragmentary.
There's one set of rules for tiny atoms, another for giant objects like stars and galaxies.
And the tow sets of math don't fit together."

"Each electron seems to sense where every atom in the graphite is, even though the target is much bigger than it.
It's as if the electrons are not dots, but spread out."

"Terrile: The electrons somehow know where all the atoms are, The experiment shows something
really rather extraordinary, and that is that matter, even though it behaves when you're looking at it, When we look at them,
they are just dots. When we look away, they lose their physical form."


"When I'm playing a video game?
In a playstation 3, an example of that is "Simcity."
It's an enormous city.
I can navigate my way through every bit of it
because the playstation, the video game,
gives me the frame that I need when I'm looking there.
If I look somewhere else, it'll create that frame."

"Well, oddly enough, the universe behaves that way in reality.
The universe gives you what you're looking at
when you're looking at it.
When you're not looking at it,
it's not necessarily there."


Part.2 : The Riddle of Black Holes.

"But right here right now.
Black holes have profound effect on you and me.
Their shimmering, holographic surfaces seem to be telling us
that everything we think is here is mirrored out there
at the very edge of our mysterious universe."
 

Part. 3 Is Time Travel Possible?

"Time is not Universal."

"Gravity slows Time.
When you leave a gravity field such as the Earth's surface.
time moves at a different rate for you
than for your friends on Earth."


"The time difference is greatest when you move at high speed."

"if 1/48 of a second may not sound like much,
but stick more power behind him and make him go faster,
near light speed -- about 670 million miles per hour --
and things get strange
If he travels for a year, he'll come back and find out that
while he has aged 12 months, Earth is 10 years older."


"Einstein realized that time is relative to where you are
and how fast you're moving.
Time is the fourth dimension, bound tightly together with length, width, and depth."


"One of the strangest properties of quantum mechanics is called "nonlocality".
It's when two particles instantly affect each other, even when they're miles or light-years apart.
It's a bit like voodoo.
When you stab the doll, the human being is also affected.
But unlike voodoo,
quantum nonlocaality is scientifically proven."


Part. 4 What Happened Before the Beginning?

"But if time and space started in a cataclysmic explosion of energy,
wouldn't the Universe be uneven and messy in all directions?
Not exactly. I can't start this with 'not exactly,' can I? (laugh): Dr Alan Guth"

Part. 5 How Did We Get Here?




Part. 6 Are We Alone?




Part. 7 What Are We Made Of?  

 "After Rutherford, physicists probed further into the atom.
They found that it is built out of three parts -- the protons and neutrons that form the nucleus and the electrons that form the shell around it.
Between them, they make up atoms.
Atoms stick together and form molecules. Out of the molecules, we get more complex shapes, from a strand of DNA... up to the 7000 trillions, trillions atoms that form a human body."


"Antimatter - matter's polar opposite.
It's the most explosive substance in the universe.
When matter and antimatter touch, they violently cancel each other out.
Physicists say they annihilate each other.
It triggers an enormous explosion.
How big of an explosion?
Less than half a gram of antimatter rice would produce a 13-kiloton blast --  as big as the Hiroshima bomb."


"Antimatter is the ultimate high explosive.
Some worry that, in the wrong hands, it could be used to create an antimatter bomb -- the ultimate super weapon."


Part. 8 Beyond The Darkness. 

"Dark matter is the skeleton of the universe.
without there matter there would be no galaxies.
without galaxies, there would be no stars.
without stars, there would be no planets.
without planets, there would be no life."


"WE live in a universe of matter and light --
matter that makes us and light that sustains us.
but now we know that's only a small fraction of reality.
our universe is also teeming with a mysterious substance
 we call dark matter.
WE can't see it, we can't touch it.
But it's everywhere.
Billions of dark-matter particles pass through our bodies every second."


"So today, atoms make up about 5% -- 4.6% to be precise.
Dark matter makes up about 23%.
And what's very strange is,
72% is made up of this dark energy."
