Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking (TV Mini Series) The Story of Everything (2010) User Reviews

Wonderful lightshow!

[sarastro7 · 9/10 · 7 October 2010]

Stephen Hawking here regales us with the latest thinking about cosmology, which is fascinating enough in itself. But what really takes the cake here are the computer-generated graphics. Man, talk about astronomical special effects! This double-length climactic episode shows us the inside of stars, and the galactic super-structures of the universe, and the formations of stars and solar systems, all in gloriously beautiful high-grade CGI. If you are fascinated by cosmology and science in general, this is stuff you gotta watch! The music is great, too.

This episode (the 3rd of 3) is much better and more packed with interesting facts than the first two, which are more speculative.

9 out of 10.

Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking (2010) S1 - E3 The Story of Everything

Free to tour the universe. We start out with a large numbers overview. There are lots of psychedelic graphics to have something to watch while going from the big bang to life, to the end of time (or forever.) We get a quickie about dark energy.

There is an annoying English speech impediment, instead of a good California neutral accent.

We get a Newton version of gravity or non-relativistic classical mechanics that treats time as a universal quantity of measurement which is uniform throughout space and separate from space. Instead of an Einstein general theory of relativity, wherein spacetime is curved by mass and energy. The spacetime of special relativity is today known as "Minkowski spacetime."

As some sort of joke, we get how the end of the earth will affect the Japanese stock market.
