Stephen Hawking Collection, The

Synopsis: This 3 DVD set includes two series: STEPHEN HAWKING’S GRAND DESIGNS and INTO THE UNIVERSE WITH STEPHEN HAWKING.
In GRAND DESIGNS Hawking attempts to unravel the truth behind humanity’s most enduring questions: Did God create the universe? What is the meaning of life? Why does the universe exist? Unfolding his personal vision of the universe, Hawking evaluates a variety of intricate ideas, from "Intelligent Design" to the impact the search for the Higgs boson particle at CERN could have on our understanding of the cosmos. Combining cutting-edge visuals with Hawking’s witty and incisive world-view, these programmes explore how physics and cosmology are being used to tackle ideas that philosophers have struggled with for thousands of years.
In INTO THE UNIVERSE Hawking looks at space: how the universe began, whether there is alien life in other galaxies and if time travel is a real possibility. Hawking’s vision of the universe is presented here using a combination of CGI, live action, digitally enhanced NASA footage and special effects.
