David Hasselhoff, better known for his roles in “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch” released a song titled, “Looking for Freedom” the year before the Berlin Wall came down. He performed it on top of the Berlin Wall to a million people during the biggest New Year's Eve party Germany had ever seen. Twenty five years later, David revisits the now-reunited capital, investigating what is left of the Wall, and explores what it meant in the context of the Cold War dividing Communism in the East from democracy in the West. Along his journey he meets extraordinary people who dreamt of freedom and risked their lives trying to overcome the dreaded Berlin Wall.

Twenty years after A Brief History of Time flummoxed the world with its big numbers and black holes, its author, Stephen Hawking, concedes that the "ultimate theory" he'd believed to be imminent - which would conclusively explain the origins of life, the universe and everything - remains frustratingly elusive. Yet despite his failing health and the seeming impossibility of the task, Hawking is still devoted to his work; an extraordinary drive that's captured here in fleeting interview snippets and footage of the scientist sharing a microwave dinner with some fawning PhD students. Though the pop-science tutorials that dapple the first of this two-part biography are winningly perky, Hawking, alas, remains as tricky to fathom as his boggling quantum whatnots

Em 1905, um jovem e obscuro funcionário de um escritório suíço de patentes concluiu que massa e energia são inseparáveis na Natureza. Essa ideia ainda viria a mudar completamente a forma como vemos o Universo. O seu jovem formulador, Albert Einstein, seria aclamado como o mais famoso nome da física moderna. Nada escapou à detalhada reconstituição histórica nesta produção NOVA/PBS.Ela permitirá ao espectador compreender a equação de Einstein (E=mc2) e, paralelamente, revelará a trajetória de outros grandes nomes da ciência que de alguma forma contribuíram para sua obra, como Michael Faraday, Antoine Lavoisier e Lise Meitner. As histórias desses gênios inovadores, com suas parcelas de sucesso e fracasso, amor e rivalidade, política e vingança, constituem uma verdadeira saga, que influenciou Einstein desde muito jovem.
