Everything you thought you knew about the universe is wrong. It’s made of atoms, right? Wrong. Atoms only account for a measly 15% of everything that exists. The mass of the universe consists of something so mysterious and elusive that it has been dubbed ‘dark matter’.

Tells the story of how Hawking has become one of the great minds of all time despite his near total paralysis with clips of his lectures, interviews with friends and a little physics thrown in for good measure.

Over 20 years since it was made, Cosmos remains one of the most profound statements in exploration, crossing boundaries between science and religion.

Kepler provided the insight into how the moon and the planets move in their orbits and ultimately how to journey to them. It’s also a story about the scientific process of discovery, and how the search for truth is never easy but always worthwhile.
