GENIUS BY STEPHEN HAWKING - EPISODE 3:
WHY ARE WE HERE?
(PBS) Genius by Stephen Hawking - Season 1, Episode 3
The volunteers pose an important question about our role in the universe.
-
This episode is truly mind-bending – can they work out why they exist at all?
Featuring
smashed glasses, spooky castles and a truly freaky flash-mob
illustration of multiple universes, Why Are We Here? takes the subjects
down a rabbit hole of deeply profound realizations. During this process.
Stephen Hawking helps them think like philosophers as much as
scientists. The end result is that the volunteers have a newfound
appreciation of why they are here at all.
Along the way, this
episode of Genius also explains how the great minds of history reached
their conclusions about the nature of the universe. We travel around the
world to find out how these breakthroughs were made, and how important
they still are, according to the world’s top thinkers.

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.
