GENIUS BY STEPHEN HAWKING - EPISODE 2:
ARE WE ALONE?
(PBS) Genius by Stephen Hawking - Season 1, Episode 2
Three volunteers set to find out how likely it is that aliens exist.
-
World-famous
scientist Stephen Hawking presents a series of fun physical and mental
challenges to three ordinary people. Can they think like a genius? The
task is to work out the likelihood of alien life out there in the
universe.
Cue an extraordinary journey of discovery, involving
tons of sand, huge machinery, some straightforward thinking and several
amazing, head-exploding reveals.
The team discovers how many
stars there are in the night sky, how to look for planets around those
stars and how many of those planets could harbor life. To watch the team
members struggle with their own discoveries is almost as much fun as
guessing the outcomes of the experiments.

About Stephen Hawking
Prof.
Hawking is one of the world’s leading physicists and cosmologists. He
is an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of
Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University
of Cambridge. His scientific works include a collaboration with Roger
Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of
general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit
radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set
forth a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory
of relativity and quantum mechanics. He is a vigorous supporter of the
many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
He is an
Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the
Pontifical Academy of Sciences and a recipient of the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Hawking
was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge
between 1979 and 2009 and has achieved commercial success with works of
popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in
general; his book A Brief History of Time appeared on the British
Sunday Times best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.
