世界在历经极端气候与粮食危机，地球濒临末日之际，一位电机工程师与一群专业研究者还有顶尖太空人，扛起人类史上最重要的任务，越过已知的银河，在星际间寻找未来出路。同时必须先割舍无法与家人见面的亲情牵绊，在爱与勇气、生存与挑战中，跨越星际拯救人类。

为了解开神秘的石柱突然屹立于地面并攻击人的秘密，原子动力太空般帝斯卡巴里号出发飞往距离八亿公里远的木星。此宇宙飞船的成员包括波曼船长、布鲁飞行员及三个在圆筒内冬眠的队员等五人。途中电脑HAL发生错乱，破坏了冬眠装置，布鲁被诱出船外，于黑暗的太空中被杀，波曼船长则被困在母船中，与之展开生死格斗，结果人类终于获胜。不久宇宙飞船在进入木星的轨道后，因船长发现某地有与月球上的石柱一模一样的东西，就驶向它，却发生意外。当他醒来时，看见自已正和宇宙飞船在路易十六的寝室中。超越时间与空间，所有的一切东西都消失于白光之中后，飘浮在太空上的绿色地球，由一胎儿看守着，此胎儿正是波曼转世而成的，正继续等待着自己出生的日子。这部内容以不远的未来为背景，在广阔的宇宙空间中，人类将面对不可思议之事。

布赖恩考克斯教授游历地球上一些最令人惊奇的地点，向观众展示和剖析自然法则所造就的太阳系的伟大自然奇观。

Professor Brian Cox visits some of the most stunning locations on earth to describe how the laws of nature have carved natural wonders across the solar system.
In this first episode Brian explores the powerhouse of them all, the sun. In India he witnesses a total solar eclipse - when the link to the light and heat that sustains us is cut off for a few precious minutes.
But heat and light are not the only power of the sun over the solar system. In Norway, Brian watches the battle between the sun's wind and earth, as the night sky glows with the northern lights.
Beyond earth, the solar wind continues, creating dazzling aurora on other planets. Brian makes contact with Voyager, a probe that has been travelling since its launch 30 years ago. Now 14 billion kilometres away, Voyager has just detected the solar wind is beginning to peter out. But even here we haven't reached the end of the sun's rule.
Brian explains how its greatest power, gravity, reaches out for hundreds of billions of kilometres, where the lightest gravitational touch encircles our solar system in a mysterious cloud of comets.

Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing?
In two epic, surreal and mind-expanding films, 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.
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.
The second part, Nothing, explores science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made. Everything came from nothing. The quantum world of the super-small shaped the vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim can prove it.

穿越时间，从人类繁盛的现在到黑洞蒸发，再到宇宙的尽头，时间的终结。沧海桑田与之相比也不过一息之间。
本片的音乐为melodysheep。最喜欢的是黑洞的部分，从大小黑洞合并的鼓声，到黑洞蒸发的圆舞曲，震撼无比。
本片解说众多，包括来自BBC的著名解说David Attenborough老爷子，里面有关黑洞蒸发部分的解说使用的是Stephen Hawking 的原音。
建议豆瓣在分类增加科普或科学分类。这已经不像是科幻，但是没得选。
