Любое научное открытие не может существовать само по себе – оно базируется на гипотезах, изысканиях и экспериментах целого ряда ученых. Оно обусловлено технологическим и социальным запросом времени. Поэтому, чтобы понять как работает Вселенная, необходимо заглянуть за пределы продолжительности нашей короткой жизни и не раз испытать революционные сдвиги в сознании. В 1905-м году Эйнштейн преподнес человечеству новую теорию, описывающую физические законы. Он предположил, что гравитация вызывается искривлением пространства-времени массивными объектами, вроде планет и звёзд.

Is there any way to slow or even prevent the ravages of time? Veteran presenter Johnny Ball looks back over the 45 years that Horizon, and he, have been on air to find out what science has learned about how and why we grow old. Charting developments from macabre early claims of rejuvenation to the latest cutting-edge breakthroughs, Johnny discovers the sense of a personal mission that drives many scientists and asks whether we are really any closer to achieving the dream of immortality.

In September 2011, an international group of scientists has made an astonishing claim - they have detected particles that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. It was a claim that contradicted more than a hundred years of scientific orthodoxy. Suddenly there was talk of all kinds of bizarre concepts, from time travel to parallel universes. So what is going on? Has Einstein's famous theory of relativity finally met its match? Will we one day be able to travel into the past or even into another universe? In this film, Professor Marcus du Sautoy explores one of the most dramatic scientific announcements for a generation. In clear, simple language he tells the story of the science we thought we knew, how it is being challenged, and why it matters.
