Originally broadcast on Discovery Science under the title Master of the Universe, this compelling documentary finds celebrated theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking exploring recent progress towards a unified theory about the nature of the universe in common, everyday vernacular. Clever computer graphics and easily identifiable analogies ensure that everyone will understand Hawking's innovative hypotheses as other high-profile scientists weight in with their thoughts on black holes, supersummetry, string theory, and the ever-elusive M force. In addition, Hawking also discusses his lifelong battle with Lou Gehrig's disease and the challenges of being locked in a ravaged body as your brain struggles with some of the most complex questions in the universe.
