Everything and Nothing

An excellent expose of the history and scientific ideas that summarize human, cosmological and physical understanding of the universe.

Difficult to understand ideas are presented in entertaining ways, with great analogies and re-creations.

This mini series is nearly perfect.

Great explanations of these hard-to-grasp theories. Very creative visualisations. Engaging narration.

The guy is literally trying to be Carl Sagan without giving any respects to Carl Sagan. It gave very cosmos rip off vibes. How are you gonna start on the sands exactly like Sagan did and repeat his exact words without giving credit. 🤢

Unfortunate BBC documentary with a false perspective from the usual British egocentrism, islands without which the civilized world would not exist. Greek culture and science Arabs and the Chinese and Mesoamerican civilizations are skipped at a stroke. Modern astronomy is not due to Copernicus, Galileo, but to some unknown. Surprise, all Anglo-Saxons! I'm sorry I stopped watching the documentary.

The presentation has only two misally hours to wet your whistle. And my whistle was very wetted. You will have to look up the nitty-gritty details to get the full picture. However, the program shows the history of what we have learned about everything and nothing from the beginning of time to 2011. This updates us from what we learned in school. I can not wait for an update at least a decade later.

I will not go into the details other than to say the presenter (Jim Al-Khalili) is just that the presenter. However, he is a British theoretical physicist, Author, respected BBC presenter and frequent commentator about science in British media.

Most of this information is already known. However, there is always something that may have been overlooked. It is also nice to have something presented in a different way.
