Time Trip - programme summary
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/timetrip.shtml
Horizon's Time Trip is a thrilling journey deep into the strangeness
of cutting-edge physics - a place where beautiful, baffling ideas are
sometimes indistinguishable from the utterly crazy.
On this journey, we meet a time-travelling pizza, a brilliant
mathematician in a ski mask and even God. The journey ends with a
strange and dark conclusion - one which calls into question our very
existence.
Ever since Einstein showed it was theoretically possible, the quest to
travel through time has drawn eccentric amateurs and brilliant
scientists in almost equal numbers. The amateurs include Aage Nost,
who demonstrates his time machine in front of the cameras. The
professionals include the likes of Professor Frank Tipler of Tulane
University. His time machine sounds good - but it would weigh half the
mass of the galaxy.
