Documentary Description
In this four-programme series, string theory pioneer Michio Kaku
goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.
He discovers our sense of time passing and the
clocks that drive our bodies. He reveals the forces of time that make
and destroy us in a lifetime.
He journeys to some of the Earth’s most spectacular
geological sites to look for clues to the extraordinary depths of time
at a planetary level.
Finally, he takes us on a cosmic journey in search of the beginning (and the end) of time itself.
Episode 2 – Lifetime
The most powerful effect of time on our lives is the
way it limits us. Our knowledge of death is so embedded in our lives
and spirituality that, were immortality possible, would we lose the
sense that makes us human?
