Member Rating:  
Originally broadcast on Discovery Science under the title Master of the Universe, this compelling documentary finds celebrated theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking exploring recent progress towards a unified theory about the nature of the universe in common, everyday vernacular. Clever computer graphics and easily identifiable analogies ensure that everyone will understand Hawking's innovative hypotheses as other high-profile scientists weight in with their thoughts on black holes, supersummetry, string theory, and the ever-elusive M force. In addition, Hawking also discusses his lifelong battle with Lou Gehrig's disease and the challenges of being locked in a ravaged body as your brain struggles with some of the most complex questions in the universe. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    What a great honor to live in the same period as Dr. Hawking. I recommend this program to all because regardless of the difference of our intellectual abilities anyone will learn something and we all become humble in front of this massive universe.

    Probably beyond my realm of understanding but still worth watching...and I did make a "B" in Physics in college. I almost gave it a grade of 3 1/2 instead of a 3.

    I watched both parts twice in one evening. I'm a big Hawking fan and have eagerly read everything in this field that I could get my hands on sine the late 70's, so maybe 'm not able to be totally objective. I thought this was a very nice introduction piece for the uninitiated and felt that they managed to dumb down the material without actually 'dumbing it down'. I'll be adding this one of my library.
