 Children of Planet Earth

 

My tribute to one of the coolest objects mankind has ever produced - the Voyager Golden Record. Knowing that a billion years from now these two messengers will still be out there is mind-bendingly awesome. I can't imagine a better representation of humanity.

 

The Nature of Sound

 
 
 

A journey into the world of sound and music with Julius Sumner Miller, Brian Greene, Bill Nye, Yehudi Menuhin and more. Sound has always fascinated me - the way mere vibrations in the air can evoke such strong emotions, and how humans create our own meaning from arbitrary motion of molecules. We are like gods, building huge cathedrals of sonic beauty from minute, invisible physical forces that surround us.

Monsters of the Cosmos

 

Morgan Freeman and a choir of scientists sing to you about the science and freakiness of black holes.

 

On a cosmic time scale, human history is as brief as the blink of an eye. By compressing all 13.8 billion years of time into a 10 minute scale, this special cinematic experience shows just how young we truly are, and just how ancient and vast our universe is. A feast for the eyes and ears.
