Curiosity http://forums.mvgroup.org/release.images/Harry65/Curiosity%201.jpg  Science Documentary hosted by Stephen Hawking and Adam Savage, published by Discovery Channel in 2011 - English narration http://forums.mvgroup.org/release.images/Harry65/Curiosity%202.jpg  Information ------------------------------ Curiosity Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could live forever? What would happen if aliens attacked? Why sex is fun? Welcome to Curiosity. More than just a landmark television series, Curiosity is an adventure of discovery, an expedition to uncover the truths behind life's most challenging questions. With an insatiable thirst for answers and experiences, we're prepared to do anything, go anywhere and ask anyone to get to the heart of the matter. Whether it's jumping out of an airplane to confront fear, having neuroscientists implant false memories, or donating tissue to test the possibility of regeneration, there is nothing stopping us as we embark on a global journey of learning and surprises. Curiosity asks and answers the most fundamental questions facing the world today. Each episode of Curiosity will focus on a single enduring question in science, technology, and society. As is always the case, one single question cascades into several more, making each episode of Curiosity a rich and textured experience. From the micro to the macro, we tackle provocative and insightful questions. Is there a Creator? Is it likely there's an alternate universe? Could you find out exactly how you are going to die and would you want to know? Are some people genetically prone to violence? Is time travel really possible? Why is it that we dream? What don't we know about gravity and does it hold the secret for exploring the universe? Curiosity promises a television experience unlike any other. Join Stephen Hawking, , Michelle Rodriguez, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Spurlock, Adam Savage, Mike Rowe, Brendan Fraser, Eli Roth, Robin Williams and many more celebrity hosts on the journey for truth, as we go to extremes to uncover answers that will surprise even the most curious among us... 1) Did God Create the Universe Stephen Hawking unfolds his personal, compelling vision of the biggest question of all - who or what created the universe in which we live?

Only one of the segments is hosted by Adam Savage - Live Forever (IIRC). The format is that each episode has a different popular guest host. Sadly, a few of the speculative things came off a bit camp and silly. Most were at least interesting, if not particularly aimed at the very well educated. Great for junior to high-school age. |

speculative fiction at best. basing suppositions on more suppositions does not make a fact. His ideas are unprovable at best, and guesswork based on previous guesswork in most part. This man should not be allowed to mention Albert Einstein's name, let alone corrupt his theories. Good rip, nice effects.. just a shame Hawking has a walnut for a brain.. |

His logic doesn't work for me. Just because time wasn't available doesn't mean (even based on other theoretical physicists' own statements about the fabric of space/dimensions) that a Creator can not exist outside of the known dimension we inhabit. Even the thought of particles jumping into existence can be looked at purely a perspective view. Just because we don't see where something comes from doesn't mean it is spontaneously appearing from "nothing". |
