How the universe works full episodes free download

Did we come from strange volcanic hatcheries deep under the sea? Or did life on Earth come from another planet? Our Moon is stranger than you think, and we reveal its incredible secrets.

Can we thank the Moon for life on Earth? What explains the mysterious tunnels beneath its surface? For years, scientists suspected that the oceans came from molecules delivered to Earth from distant stars by asteroids, but a new discovery suggests that their true origins may be more exotic.

Magnetism has shaped our cosmos, and without it, Creation would simply disintegrate. We follow scientists trying to understand how this strange force works. From the furthest reaches of space to our own cosmic backyard, we count down the discoveries that changed everything we know about our universe. Scientists have discovered a mysterious ninth planet on the very edge of our solar system. Ten times the size of Earth, this strange world could have moons with extraterrestrial life.

The question in every galaxy and super anomaly students and viewers minds are how do black holes grow so massive. For every possible solution, there exists a different cause. The study continues. Astronomers discovered a host of other icy objects orbiting around Pluto.

Renewed interest was piqued, especially after a New Horizons probe took some high-resolution photos of Pluto in The universe is home to real-life Death Stars that could destroy planet Earth. The ultimate guide to the worst places in the universe. There is Betelgeuse in its death throes and could become a supernova and the possibly a death star.

Life on Mars went through a series of life impacting events and the first impact may have seeded life on earth by debris from Mars.. Dark matter is the biggest mystery of the cosmos. Scientists know that it has been vital to the universe since its birth, new discoveries reveal that it could create black holes, cause mass extinctions, and might even have helped to shape life on the Earth. Discoveries of new planets have revealed countless worlds much stranger than Earth.

Some of these strange worlds don't have stars, others are made out of diamonds. Will we ever find a planet like Earth, or are these distant worlds stranger than fiction? Various eminent scientists explain the current knowledge of Black Holes and try to answer the question, do they really exist? The two great theories of Einstein's General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics don't work together to explain Black Holes which is a big problem. Other theoretical constructs such as Gravastars and Planck stars have been postulated but proving their existence is just as difficult as that of Black Holes.

So where next? Planets that orbit two suns instead of one might be deadly hell worlds, but new discoveries reveal that sci-fi star systems with binary stars might be optimal places for alien life.

Our solar system hides a dark and violent past, and new discoveries reveal that Earth and the planets were formed from the destruction of alien worlds that came before us. The Milky Way is dying, and using the latest science and discoveries, experts are investigating what's killing it. Uranus and Neptune are mysterious, icy worlds at the edge of our solar system, and new discoveries reveal that these strange planets may have helped start life on Earth. Quasars are the brightest and most powerful objects in our universe, and though they have shaped the cosmos, they might ultimately destroy everything that exists.

Scientists discuss various types of asteroids, previous collisions between asteroids and Earth, and various technologies that may be employed to stop future collisions.

Also discussed are ways in which nature can prevent or lessen the impact of collisions. Can't play on this device. Check system requirements. Other seasons. Available on HoloLens. Mobile device.

Home to incredible natural phenomena like gigantic geysers and colossal volcanoes, moons also offer perhaps the best chance of finding alien life in the Universe - and they probably exist in the billions. Are we alone in the Universe? What makes Earth so different?

Part of the answer is our volcanoes. Today we are discovering volcanoes on alien worlds. Are these worlds where, tomorrow, we might find life? Destructive weather forces are symptoms of Earth's creative energy. In our quest to discover if we are alone in the universe, we shouldn't just look for worlds, we should look for weather; find that megastorm, and maybe we will find alien life. We once thought that the only planets were in our solar system.

We have found many other planets but they are nothing like we expected, from deep-frozen, toxic snowballs, to scorched and boiling nightmares.

Is every planet out there a planet fom Hell? The Universe is a magnetic minefield. Spinning star systems crackle and explode, magnetic monsters rip worlds apart, star-quakes shoot beams of devastating energy, and galactic flamethrowers fire gamma-rays half way across the Universe. Will we find Earth in the firing line? We owe our existence to the stability of earth's orbit. But we are the freaks: everywhere else we look we find orbits are chaotic, unstable, and violent.

Yet on the very largest scale, orbits are also a creative force, even constructing the fabric of the universe itself. As time machines from the early universe, comets could hold the key to unlock the secrets of the cosmos, and may even be the origin of life itself.

In this episode, we learn that comets are even more mysterious and fascinating than we had ever imagined. Asteroids wiped out the dinosaurs and may be back for us but they also built the Earth and may have brought life to its barren surface.

Asteroids will shape our future as much as our past and scientists are striving to unlock their secrets. The Earth was formed by a series of cataclysms without which we would not exist. Could the same events have created other earth-like planets elsewhere in the Universe inhabited by creatures like us?

How does light escape from the sun? We take a journey from the centre of the sun, following the path of light. We witness its fiery birth from in the core, its , mile battle against gravity and magnetism, and its escape from the solar surface. How and when will the Universe end? Gravity and dark matter are poised to annihilate the Universe in a big crunch.

Expansion and dark energy may tear it apart. Or, a phase transition could kill us tomorrow in a cosmic death bubble. From the smallest asteroid to the largest super-cluster, everything in the universe is in orbit. We owe our very existence to the stability of earth's orbit — it gave us life and keeps us safe. But we are the freaks.

Everywhere else we look we find orbits are chaotic, unstable, and violent. Beyond our solar system we find planets that are blow-torched, stars that eat each other, and black holes that destroy everything in their path. Yet on the very largest scale, orbits are also a creative force. How does light escape from the sun? We take a journey from the centre of the sun, following the path of light. We witness its fiery birth from in the core, its , mile battle against gravity and magnetism, and its escape from the solar surface.

Beneath Jupiter's swirling clouds lie our solar system's deepest secrets: from its violent youth, through the birth of life to the death of the sun. Now, scientists are unlocking these secrets and discovering that every living thing exists thanks to Jupiter.

The first second of the Universe, the creation of everything when space, time, matter and energy burst into existence. It is the most important second in history, which seals the Universe's fate and defines everything that comes after - including us.

Saturn's secrets are out. The ferocious weather, the evolving ring system and the discovery of active geology on Saturn's moons has rewritten the textbooks. Scientists are looking for life on Saturn's moons and they may have found it on Titan. Asteroids strike, planets collide, black holes blast out death rays, volcanoes erupt and ice engulfs the planet. Are we next?
