Space Universe

Parallel universes sometimes collide and overlap to share a tiny sliver of space called a mixing zone. Anyone or anything caught in a mixing zone has about a 50-50 chance of remaining in their original location when the universes pull apart. Most beings throughout the universes are aware of this occasional phenomenon, but people on Earth - not so much. Certainly not Mark and Blackie. Mark and Blackie are brothers, and Wayne is Mark's best friend and the bass player in their band....

The universe is rapidly expanding. Of that much scientists are certain. But how fast? And with what implications regarding the fate of the universe? Ellen Jackson and Nic Bishop follow Dr. Alex Fillippenko and his High-Z Supernova Search Team to Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, where they will study space phenomena and look for supernovae, dying stars that explode with the power of billions of hydrogen bombs. Dr. Fillippenko looks for black holes--areas in space with such a strong gravitational pull that no matter or energy can escape from them--with his robotic telescope.

As a young boy Frank Kovac Jr. fell deeply in love with stargazing, painting glow-in-the-dark constellations on his bedroom wall and inviting friends to an observatory he built in his Chicago backyard. As he reached adulthood, Kovac did not let go of his childhood dreams of reaching the stars. He began scheming to bring the universe home. While working at a paper mill as a young man, Kovac tirelessly built a 22-foot rotating globe planetarium in the woods.

A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe. His theory changed the way we think about space and time, revealed how our universe has been expanding from a hot, dense state called the big bang and predicted black holes. Where the Universe Came From is a 13.8 billiion-year journey through the cosmos.

L'Universo ha 13,8 miliardi di anni. Da quando si è formata, la Terra ha compiuto intorno al Sole quattro miliardi e mezzo di orbite. È un tempo impensabile, un tempo infinito. Un tempo che gli esseri umani non hanno occupato che per la più piccola delle frazioni. Eppure, da quando siamo comparsi sulla faccia del pianeta, da quando abbiamo iniziato ad accendere fuochi per tenere a bada la notte, non abbiamo mai smesso di alzare gli occhi alla volta senza confini. A meravigliarci per tutto quell'infinito sopra di noi, per tutto quello che non possiamo vedere.

Alzando lo sguardo al cielo in una notte stellata, chi non si interroga su quanto grande sia l'universo, quale sia la sua origine, il suo destino? Oggi è possibile rispondere su basi scientifiche a molte domande antichissime, che riguardano l'evoluzione del cosmo, la sua estensione spaziale e temporale, gli elementi che lo costituiscono. Ma i segreti sono lungi dall'essere tutti svelati. La nostra conoscenza cosmologica, infatti, ha incontrato negli ultimi decenni un limite che per il momento non riusciamo a superare. Anzi due.

O que você pretende fazer quando chegar ao Restaurante no Fim do Universo?

Gaining acceptance into the Galactic Alliance is not an easy task, but it turns out that it is the aliens who need the help of humanity this time, and that is why they have been welcomed with open arms. From the moment the humans arrive, the adventures begin, especially now that they have been placed on the endangered species list. Kidnapping, cloning, and now even the galactic mafia have become part of the game. Why has the galaxy been shaken up by our arrival? It turns out that there is a prophecy about an ancient place called the "Home".

Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their astronomical observations. In it, they had found the key to unravelling the story of the big bang and the origin of our universe. That signal was the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the big bang. This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space.

Após as loucas aventuras vividas com seus estranhos amigos em O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias e O Restaurante no Fim do Universo, Arthur Dent ficou cinco anos abandonado na Terra Pré-Histórica. Mesmo depois de tanto tempo, ele ainda acordava todas as manhãs com um grito de horror por estar preso àquela monótona e assustadora rotina. Talvez Arthur até preferisse continuar isolado em sua caverna escura, úmida e fedorenta a encarar a próxima aventura para a qual seria forçosamente arrastado: salvar o Universo dos temíveis robôs xenófobos do planeta Krikkit.
