( Stephen Hawking's The Theory of Everything is ground breaking and exciting series in which Professor Stephen Hawking examines just how far our understanding of the universe has developed in our own lifetimes.
Taking on board the astonishing scientific advances of the past 20 years Hawking is able to introduce fresh ideas which even he dared not imagine two decades ago. In his own words: 'Twenty years on, my need to find answers to the fundamental questions about our existence, is undiminished.'
Hawking drives this landmark series with his continued fascination with the big questions. How did the Universe begin? How will it end? What was there before it?
Hawking is our guide and mentor on a journey through the Universe, in which the world's most exciting and eminent scientists join him in explaining mysteries of physics in a unique and accessible way. From the macro to the micro Hawking explores supernovae, black holes, dark matter, and the sub-atomic world to bring the biggest questions of all to the small screen with extraordinary aplomb and clarity.

Basic, outdated and over priced

only 2 episodes and the second one just jumps on the string theory bandwagon even after that wagon crashed a few years ago, the fact that hawkings never totally agreeded with string theory and the way the narrator uses the little bits he does agree with to make it look better is just wrong. Also he mentions that hawking discovered black holes again not true it was Schwarzschild (using einstiens equations) as i said if you know nothing about physics this would be a good dvd.
Very interesting, if you are into that kind of thing.

I suppose everyone is interested in the origins of the universe, but I am afraid that not everyone is destined to understand what is discovered by the boffins of this world. The series does it's best at trying to explain recent developments in layman's terms, but I can't help but think that trying to explain The Big Bang was somewhat easier than trying to explain M theory. The concept of a bang we can all understand. Multi-dimensional brane collisions is something completely different. Or is it?
Anyway, it's all very well done and does it's best to be understandable. Not everyones cup of tea though.
