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...

6) How Will the World End
The Mayans tell us it will happen next year, on 21st December to be precise. And terrible recent
events from Indonesia through Haiti to Japan seem, to some, evidence of impending global doom. But
just how likely is a global apocalypse - from a scientific point of view? When will it happen, if at
all? Where? And how? Samuel L. Jackson hosts this CGI spectacular which examines the most likely
ways the world might end, and uses the latest geological, seismic and telescopic devices to put a
number on the likelihood of their occurrence, the timeframe within which they'll take place, and
even the potential casualties. It's almost certainly not going to happen in our lifetimes, nor in
that of any of our children or grandchildren...
