FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF CARL SAGAN'S BOOKS.
--The Washington Post Book World (front page review)
In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.
Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race.
"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity's future in the stars."
--Chicago Tribune

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.

数百万年前，不可思议的神奇力量将地壳撕扯得支离破碎，由此创造出七个蔚为壮观的大陆。时光荏苒，每个大陆都孕育了别具特色的野生动物。
从郁郁葱葱的南美洲丛林深处到冰雪覆盖的亚洲山峦之巅，从欧洲熙熙攘攘的都市到非洲的广袤平原，《七个世界 一个星球》将开启一次七大洲之旅，呈现匪夷所思的动物行为，讲述鲜为人知的动物故事。我们将探索在这七个世界，丰富多样的生命如何在地球上生长繁衍，同时揭示在人类主导的世界，动物们所面临的不同挑战。

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。

《卡尔·萨根的宇宙》的更新重制版。

物理学家史蒂芬•霍金最后的著作《十问：霍金沉思录》，这本书涉及他对科学与社会所面临的大问题的思考，包括“人类是否会一直在地球上生存下去？（可能不会）”“时间旅行是否可能？（仍无法排除可能性）”等；还有对诸如地球面临的严重威胁、“超人”种群以及外太空是否存在智慧生命、人类是否应该去开拓太空殖民地等问题进行的最后预测，这些预测饱含了霍金对人类未来深深的忧思。

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.
