)
3 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 41 libraries worldwide Program 6: We now know that the universe had a beginning and how all the matter formed but there is still one outstanding question: how did the Big Bang begin? Stephen Hawking is joined by other leading scientists as they try to answer this question. Includes discussions of inflation theory, quantum mechanics, and string theory.
Spying game

2 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 31 libraries worldwide "Hollywood makes spies look invincible, but the reality is more dangerous than any screenwriter can devise. Go deep undercover in a world where no one is who -or what- they seem and one mistake could affect thousands"--Container.

Black holes and beyond
(
Visual
)
2 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 26 libraries worldwide Program 5: Discusses Hawking's specialty, black holes. With the invention of radio astronomy over 50 years ago many astronomical discoveries came to light including ultraluminous quasars, wormholes, black holes and singularities. It was discovered that quasars, bizarre objects billions of light years away with a power output greater than all of the stars in our galaxy put together, shine brightly as matter is sucked into a black hole and heats up due to friction. Such discoveries seem to allow for travel over millions of miles of space or even time travel and have even led to SETI--the search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence--looking for stray alien communications.
On the dark side
(
Visual
)
2 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 26 libraries worldwide Program 4: At night the stars are seen in the blackness of space. But is the space empty? In the 1950's an American scientist discovered that the stars in rotating spirical galaxies seem to be held together by an unseen force. Vera Rubin proposed the idea that the space between the stars was filled by invisible stuff she called dark matter. Scientists now believe that dark matter could make up an unbelievable 99% of the universe. The race is now on to find this mysterious stuff hoping to determine if the universe will expand forever or end as a frozen desert or contract under the force of gravity into a "Big Crunch."
The Big bang
(
Visual
)
2 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 26 libraries worldwide Program 2: When and how did the universe begin? Scientists have developed two theories: the Big Bang and the Steady State theories. This program explores the search for evidence to support the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe. It highlights the contributions and theories of Albert Einstein, Georges Lemaitre, Fred Hoyle, Arno Penzias, and Robert Wilson.
Cosmic alchemy

)
3 editions published between 1997 and 1998 in English and held by 24 libraries worldwide Program 3: Examines what the universe is made of by utilizing particle accelerators to glimpse fragments of the explosive process believed to have generated stars and planets. This episode features the basics: "fire", "water," "air, " and "gas, " in addition to more complex findings of elements and matter from the creation of the Periodic Table to Einstein's famous theory of relativity.
