Fabric of the Cosmos, The 4x53

Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We’ve all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe—that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists—just might be wrong. The Fabric of the Cosmos is a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and acclaimed author Brian Greene that takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture to date of space, time and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we’d hardly recognize—a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.

Interweaving provocative theories, experiments, and stories with crystal-clear explanations and imaginative metaphors—like those that defined the groundbreaking and highly-acclaimed series The Elegant Universe—The Fabric of the Cosmos promises to be the most compelling, visual, fun, and comprehensive picture of modern physics ever seen on television.
