Neil deGrasse Tyson returns as the host after the success of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, along with Ann Druyan, the original creative collaborator with Carl Sagan, and executive producer Seth MacFarlane. This makes a team of some of the best science communicators of the modern era come together to explore what possible life is out there.

The series asks the “what if” questions of how humans will adapt to the constant changes of Earth and the galaxy, what other intelligent life might be like, and what might happen when humans inevitably need to leave Earth behind to start somewhere new.

Other possible uses for CRISPR are much more controversial. Some fear that if CRISPR becomes widely available, parents and others will put the technology to more frivolous uses, like altering an individual’s height.

Although heavily focused on what this technology means for the future, the film attempts to address the questions it raises about human nature and evolution with responses grounded in years of history. The filmmakers also draw heavily on the experiences of the scientists behind CRISPR, the medical professionals implementing the technology in their work, and the patients that hope to benefit from gene editing.

Provocative yet empathetic, Human Nature wrestles with tough questions about morality while providing valuable insight into the possible biotechnologies of the future.

In a very scientific and objective manner, the film reveals that millions of dust particles began to stick together due to gravity, slowly forming masses that eventually constituted planets. Interplanetary dust particles which contain hydrogen and carbon particles were then exposed to oxygen present in the atmosphere and created water particles that are considered to be the fundamental building blocks of life.

Life: Destiny or Chance reveals that the abundance of water available on Earth’s surface has provided favourable conditions to support life on the planet.

Seth MacFarlane is the creative force behind this series, which is an updated version of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Ann Druyan, who was Sagan’s original creative collaborator, serves as an executive producer on the updated series alongside MacFarlane.

A sequel, Cosmos: Possible Worlds, was released in 2020.

The documentary consists of two narrative threads: the first deals with the obstacles and delays faced by the experimental physicists as they attempt to get the LHC running, including a helium leak in 2007 that damaged its electromagnets; the second thread explores the competing theories of theoretical physicists Nima Arkani-Hamed and Savas Dimopoulos as they attempt to predict the mass of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle from the Standard Model of particle physics that has been dubbed the ‘god particle’.

Nima Arkani-Hamed argues for the multiverse theory and believes its mass to be 140 GeV, whilst Dimopoulos subscribes to the supersymmetry theory and predicts the mass of to be 115 GeV. The documentary ends in 2012 after CERN announces the successful identification of a Higgs-like particle, with its weight is revealed to be 125 GeV.

The film received critical acclaim for making the scientific experiments accessible to the general public and humanising the physicists involved.

Along Curie’s journey to become a scientist who would inspire generations of women on many continents, she also fell in love three times. The totality of her story portrays a woman who is much more than a scientist; she is a human being. She lost loved ones. At times, she was laughed at and mocked by some members of society. But she pushed through each and every obstacle to become a hero to so many fellow humans, male and female, from any generation.

The documentary begins with an in-depth examination of what time and space are. It goes back to the very earliest academic conceptions of time, matter, and space in antiquity, charting how humanity has progressively refined those ideas to the present day.

The Fabric of the Cosmos also offers insightful looks at the otherworldly, minuscule wonderland of quantum mechanics where all conventions about reality as is generally known are shattered to smithereens. By the time the documentary explores the latest discoveries at the furthest reaches of the universe, a chasm will have been closed and the point that future research in cosmology and particle physics cannot be anything less than unimaginably startling proven beyond doubt.

The film explores Nebulas, as well as the possible effect of dark matter on the future of the Milky Way. Inside the Milky Way is an incredible journey that will answer many questions and leave many new avenues to be explored.
