A triple set of BBC documentaries presented by Professor Brian Cox.
'Wonders of the Solar System' (2010) focuses on such phenomena as
Saturn's rings, the solar flares of the Sun and the deserts of Mars
to demonstrate how the forces that shaped our world are also
responsible for creating some of the most breathtaking sights in
our solar system. In the follow-up series, 'Wonders of the
Universe' (2011), Cox continues his exploration of the universe and
its effect on human life. Vast, complex and almost infinite, the
universe has been the subject of human fascination and scientific
exploration for thousands of years. Its properties can seem
impossible to grasp, but this series uses the evidence found in the
natural world around us to explain the fundamental principles that
underpin the laws of nature such as light, gravity, matter and
time. Finally, in 'Wonders of Life (2012) Cox tells the story of
the origins and history of life, from the fundamental laws which
govern its creation, to the myriad species that populate our
planet. Tracing how light, gravity, time, matter and energy
combined 3.7 billion years ago to begin a process which ultimately
led to the huge diversity of life we now have on Earth, Cox visits
locations around the world to reveal how life came to adapt and
develop in the most unusual and unexpected places.
