Brian Cox opens the series by asking "Why are we here? Where do we come from?" This is a wide-ranging show of 4 hour-long episodes examining big fundamental concepts. The first "Destiny" examines time, entropy, and the eventual heat death of the universe. The second "Stardust" examines the creation and composition of material of the universe. The third "Falling" examines gravity and black holes. The fourth "Messengers" examines light and sound. The show can float from one subject to another. I like his explanation of entropy. The other concepts are fairly basic. The show can be jumpy. In general, the big concepts are compelling and understandable. The questions are so big that the answers can be uncontained.
