How To Build A Time Machine
如何製造時光機
If you think time travel is impossible, think again. We can now make machines capable of this astonishing feat. Voyager 1, Nasa's space probe that left Earth in the '70s, has been travelling at such staggering speeds it's now travelled over one second into the future. And after moving through space at high speed for 803 days, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev aged fractionally less than the rest of us. So how far through time can our technology take us? Go back to the future and discover how close we are to cracking one of science's biggest conundrums.
如果認為時間旅行是不可能的，請三思。現在人類可以製造出能夠實現這驚人壯舉的機器。美國太空總署的太空探測器「航行者1號」於七十年代離開地球，並以驚人的速度飛行，現在已進入未來早於一秒鐘。在高速穿越太空803天後，俄羅斯太空人謝爾蓋克里卡列夫的年齡比我們其他人都年輕一點。那麼我們的科技可以帶領我們穿越多長的時間？備有中文字幕。

Einstein And Hawking: Masters of Our Universe
愛因斯坦與霍金
This 2-part series explores how, for over 100 years, scientists have tried to marry general relativity and quantum theory together. This isn't science history. Einstein and Hawking's ideas are still shaping physics. Meet the modern scientists pushing their work even further. Using the boldest technologies, these contemporary trailblazers are building on the brilliance of their predecessors. Using interviews and recordings of Einstein and Hawking, both scientists are brought back to life - creating new discussions, disagreements and insights into their lives. Two titans of science. Two mind-blowing theories. This is the story of the masters of the Universe.
百多年來，科學家一直嘗試把廣義相對論和量子理論結合一起，而愛因斯坦和霍金的思想仍在塑造物理學。本系列通過愛因斯坦和霍金的採訪和錄影，讓兩位科學家重現眼前，創造新的討論、分歧和自身的見解。兩位科學巨人，兩種令人振奮的驚世理論，這是兩位宇宙大師的故事。備有中文字幕。
Episode 1
愛因斯坦與霍金 (一)
The first part describes Hawking's personal life, his challenges in overcoming his motor neuron disease, and his career in physics. It covers his childhood, education, marriage, family life, and his work on the Big Bang and Black Holes.
介紹霍金的個人生活，他如何克服運動神經細胞疾病，以及他的物理學理論。愛因斯坦的相對論改變我們對現實的看法，扭轉對萬有引力的理解並開展大爆炸的理論。霍金受到愛因斯坦的啟發，讓我們理解宇宙間最神秘的黑洞現象。備有中文字幕。
Episode 2
愛因斯坦與霍金 (二)
The second part discusses string theory and supersymmetry. Einstein’s theory of general relativity leads to the concept of an expanding universe that leads to the theory of the Big Bang. Stephen Hawking uses the theory to unlock the Universe. Hawking combines the theory with the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics to show black holes ‘evaporate’. Known as Hawking Radiation, it is counterintuitive as it shows that these cosmic giants emit quantum particles.
第二集討論弦理論和超對稱。愛因斯坦的廣義相對論證明宇宙不斷膨脹，因而衍生出宇宙大爆炸理論。霍金使用該理論來解鎖宇宙，將理論與量子力學的不確定性原理結合起來，證明黑洞會蒸發，並釋放出量子粒子，稱為霍金輻射。備有中文字幕。

Inside CERN
深入歐洲核子研究組織
Deep in the bowels of CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, something odd is going on. Scientists are seeing a particle that shouldn’t exist. If it does, then our understanding of the Universe’s most basic building blocks is wrong. According to the standard model of particle physics, the Higgs-Boson was the last particle left to be discovered. So whatever is happening in CERN’s accelerators, it’s completely unprecedented. If proved, this discovery will change our understanding of reality itself.
歐洲核子研究組織是世界上最大的物理實驗室。科學家在這裡發現許多被認為不存在的粒子，並幫助人類增加對宇宙的理解。根據粒子物理的標準模型，希格斯玻色子是剩下要發現的最後一個粒子。但如今又有全新的發現，如果得到證實，這將帶來新的顛覆。備有中文字幕。

Aftershock - The Hunt for Gravitational Waves
餘波：搜尋重力波
In early 2014 scientists thought they had found evidence of gravitational waves from the Big Bang. These waves could help physicists on the search for a Theory of Everything - a grand explanation of all physics. However, doubts set in almost immediately with rival groups reanalysing the data. Aftershock - The Hunt For Gravitational Waves embarks on a journey through this wild frontier of physics - a story of rejection, perseverance and professional courage where, for some, glory beckons while, for others, their life's work hangs in the balance.
二○一四年初，科學家指發現了大爆炸產生的重力波的證據。這些重力波可以幫助物理學家尋找能夠解釋宇宙的所有物理奧秘的萬有理論。然而，有組織馬上重新分析數據並質疑觀測結果。備有中文字幕。

Forces of Nature
大自然的力量
A bold and breathtaking series taking viewers on a tour of our planet to explain what lies beneath Earth's startling beauty and ultimately what makes our world work. In a perfect combination of accessible science and cutting-edge filming techniques, it explores the simplest possible questions about the planet we live on - such as why is water blue? How can a shape defy gravity? Why do bees make hexagonal honeycombs? - In order to reveal deeper truths about the cosmos and the forces of nature that govern everything in it. Travelling to stunning locations around the globe and featuring the creatures and environments shaped by these natural forces, it also looks at how humans fit into the story through episodes themed around Colour, Motion, Shape and Elements. Employing the latest technology to bring unique perspectives and understanding of nature's wonders, this ambitious series showcases the immense forces that make our world so vibrant and diverse.
本系列前往世界各地一些令人驚嘆的地點，展現地球上最壯觀的景象，並結合我們對於宇宙的理解，從而觀察由顏色，運動，形狀和元素這些自然力量所塑造出的生物和環境。備有中文字幕。
1. Shape
形狀
In this episode Brian uncovers how the stunning diversity of shapes in the natural world are shadows of the rules that govern the universe. In Spain he shows how an attempt by hundreds of people to build the highest human tower reveals the force that shapes our planet. In Nepal, honey hunters seek out giant beehives that cling to cliff walls. The perfect hexagonal honeycombs made by the bees to store their honey conceal a mathematical rule. Off the coast of Canada, Brian explains how some of the most irregular, dangerous shapes in nature - massive icebergs that surge down from Greenland and into shipping lanes of the Atlantic - emerge from a powerful yet infinitely small force of nature. Even the most delicate six-sided snowflake tells a story of the forces of nature that forged it.
在西班牙，有超過百人在疊羅漢；在尼泊爾，蜂蜜獵人在懸崖峭壁間摘取蜂巢，完美的六角形蜂窩隱藏了一個數學規則；在加拿大海岸對外的格陵蘭和大西洋航道上，湧出自然界中最不規則形狀的冰山；即使是最細膩的六邊形雪花也講述了打造大自然力量的故事。備有中文字幕。
2. Motion
運動
Professor Brian Cox follows Earth's epic journey through space. He takes to the air in a top-secret fighter jet to race the spin of the planet and reverse the passage of the day. In Brazil, a monstrous wave that surges up the Amazon River provides an epic ride of a different kind - chased by a top surfer through the rainforest, this tidal wave marks Earth's constant dance with the Moon. Greenland experiences some of the biggest swings in seasons in the world, but despite the deep freeze, the harsh winter brings opportunity to the Inuit people who live there. All this spectacle here on Earth signals that we are thundering through the universe at breakneck speed. Brian explains why we can't feel it and how understanding motion brings us to understanding the nature of space and time itself, leading to the astonishing conclusion that the past, present and future all exist right now.
在巴西，亞馬孫河巨浪翻湧代表著地球與月球之間的引力；儘管格陵蘭冬季嚴酷，但也給居住在這裡的因紐特人帶來機會。地球上的所有這些景像都表明我們以極速穿越宇宙，自然界重複的一切只是時空結構中的一點。備有中文字幕。
3. Elements
元素
In this episode, Professor Brian Cox shows how Earth's basic ingredients, like the pure sulphur mined in the heart of a deadly volcano in Indonesia, have become the building blocks of life. Hidden deep in a cave in the Dominican Republic lies a magical world created by the same property of water that makes it essential to life. Clinging to a precipitous dam wall in Italy, baby mountain goats seek out Earth's chemical elements essential to their survival. In the middle of the night in a bay off Japan, Brian explains how the dazzling display of thousands of glowing squid shows how life has taken Earth's chemistry and turned it into the chemistry of life.
地球的基本成分，如印尼致命火山內採出的純硫；隱藏在多米尼加共和國洞穴深處的水；在意大利陡峭的堤壩上，小山羊在尋找牠們賴以為生的元素；在日本的一個海灣，晚上數以千計的魷魚在發光，這顯示了生命如何運用地球化學轉化為生命的化學。備有中文字幕。
4. Colour
顏色
In this final episode Professor Brian Cox travels to Iceland, where the delicate splendour of a moonbow reveals the colours that paint our world, and he visits a volcano to explain why the sun shines. By exploring how sunlight transforms the plains of the Serengeti, drives the annual migration of humpback whales to the Caribbean and paints the moon red during a lunar eclipse, Brian reveals the colour signature of our life-supporting planet. Finally, at an observatory high in the Swiss Alps, he shows how these colours aren't simply beautiful, but that understanding how they're created is allowing us to search for other Earths far out in the cosmos.
在冰島，精美壯麗的月虹揭示了地球的顏色。一座火山可以解釋為何陽光普照，而陽光改變了塞倫蓋蒂平原，驅動了座頭鯨年度的遷徙，並把月食時的月亮變成紅色。繽紛色彩的原理，講述了大自然之美背後力量的奧秘。備有中文字幕。

Project Greenglow: The Quest for Gravity Control
綠光計劃：探索重力控制
For the last 200 years, we have been fascinated with the idea of controlling gravity. But in the mid-1990s British aerospace manufacturer BAE Systems began a ground-breaking project code-named ‘Greenglow’ which set about turning what many regarded as science fiction into reality. On the other side of the Atlantic, NASA was simultaneously running its own Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project. It was concerned with potential space applications of new physics, including concepts like ‘faster than light travel’ and ‘warp drives’. Looking at these past projects and into the future, Horizon explores science’s obsession with the idea of gravity control. Are flying cars and journeys to the stars still the stuff of dreams?
過去二百年，人類一直醉心研究控制重力。九十年代中期，英國航太系統公司開展了一項嶄新名為「綠光計劃」的研究，嘗試科幻小說變成現實。而在大西洋的另一邊，美國太空總署也開始了突破性的「突破推進物理項目」挑戰萬有引力定律。備有中文字幕。

It was concerned with potential space applications of new physics, including concepts like ‘faster than light travel’ and ‘warp drives’. Looking at these past projects and into the future, Horizon explores science’s obsession with the idea of gravity control. Are flying cars and journeys to the stars still the stuff of dreams?
過去二百年，人類一直醉心研究控制重力。九十年代中期，英國航太系統公司開展了一項嶄新名為「綠光計劃」的研究，嘗試科幻小說變成現實。而在大西洋的另一邊，美國太空總署也開始了突破性的「突破推進物理項目」挑戰萬有引力定律。備有中文字幕。

The Mystery of Dark Energy
暗能量之謎
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is still one of the pillars of modern physics. But 100 years after Einstein's theory, The Dark Energy Mystery discovers that there's something that seems to undermine everything we thought we knew - Dark Energy. This mysterious cosmic force is not only causing our universe to expand, but this expansion is also accelerating. It makes up 70% of the universe. But no one can see it, and in The Dark Energy Mystery we learn that there is still great debate over what it actually is.
愛因斯坦的廣義相對論，至今仍然是現代物理學的基石之一。愛因斯坦理論誕生的一百年後暗能量被發現，這種神秘的宇宙力量，不僅使宇宙膨脹，而且還在加速膨脹。為何暗能量的強度與理論預測相差極大？這對宇宙的未來有何影響？透過暗能量的研究，是否會得到多重宇宙的結論？備有中文字幕。

Oceans of the Solar System
太陽系的海洋
Water defines the Earth, and is crucial to life. Once we thought oceans were unique to our planet, but astronomers are now discovering them all over the solar system, raising the possibility of life in places we never thought possible.
Horizon sets sail on an epic journey; from the icy wastes of Enceladus to the prehistoric oceans of Mars, and to the methane lakes of Saturn's biggest moon Titan - where NASA plans to send a submarine to dive into the murky depths. Are we on the verge of discovering that - far from being unique - life in the solar system is ubiquitous?
水定義了地球，水對生命也至關重要。我們曾經以為海洋是地球獨有的，但天文學家利用望遠鏡和探測器，發現在太陽系中多顆行星和衛星都有汪洋跡象。土衛二地底下有液態海洋、火星有史前海洋，土星的衛星泰坦上有甲烷湖，美國太空總署正計劃派遣潛艇進行探測。備有中文字幕。

Order and Disorder
有序與無序
The unstoppable Jim Al-Khalili reveals how humanity discovered the rules that drive the universe, and mastered the two most important concepts of the modern age - energy and information. Energy is vital to us all, but what exactly is energy? In attempting to answer this question Jim investigates a strange set of laws that link together everything from engines to humans to stars. It turns out that energy, so critical to daily existence, actually helps us make sense of the entire universe. In the second programme he discovers how we harnessed the power of symbols - everything from the first alphabet to the electric telegraph through to the modern digital age. But on this journey he learns that information isn't just about human communication, it's woven very profoundly into the fabric of reality...

The Hunt for the Higgs
追尋上帝粒子
The programme goes behind the scenes at CERN to follow one of the most epic and expensive scientific quests of all time: the search for the Higgs particle, believed to give mass to everything in our universe.
However, the hunt for Higgs is part of a much grander search for how the universe works. It promises to help answer questions like why we exist and is a vital part of a Grand Unified Theory of nature. At the heart of the pursuit of the elusive particle is the same feature that makes snowflakes beautiful and human faces attractive: the simple and enchanting idea of symmetry.
歐洲核子研究組織，是世界上最大型的粒子物理學實驗室，科學家發現了希格斯粒子，即上帝粒子。這個發現堪稱是近半世紀，科學史上最重大的發現，這將幫助人類了解宇宙是如何形成的。本節目紀錄了歐洲核子研究組織為了追尋上帝粒子，如何計劃及執行如此昂貴的科學任務。備有中文字幕。

What Happened Before the Big Bang
大爆炸前發生了什麼？
They are the biggest questions that science can possibly ask: where did everything in our universe come from? How did it all begin? For nearly a hundred years, we thought we had the answer: a big bang some 14 billion years ago. But now some scientists believe that was not really the beginning. Our universe may have had a life before this violent moment of creation.
In What Happened Before the Big Bang, Horizon takes the ultimate trip into the unknown, to explore a dizzying world of cosmic bounces, rips and multiple universes, and finds out what happened before the big bang.

What is Reality?
何謂真實？
There is a strange and mysterious world that surrounds us, a world largely hidden from our senses. The quest to explain the true nature of reality is one of the great scientific detective stories. Clues have been pieced together from deep within the atom, from the event horizon of black holes, and from the far reaches of the cosmos. It may be that that we are part of a cosmic hologram, projected from the edge of the universe. Or that we exist in an infinity of parallel worlds. Your reality may never look quite the same again. This BBC documentary attemps to answer the question: What is Reality?
我們正身處奇怪又神秘的世界，這世界很大程度只是從我們的感官而來。在科學上，關於理解真實性的本質的研究，是最簡單又最深奧的問題。從原子的深處到黑洞的事件穹界至宇宙外太空的訊息，我們可能是宇宙全息圖的一部分，又或存在於一個無限的平行世界。本節目將拼湊種種線索，嘗試回答何謂真實這個問題。備有中文字幕。

The Secret Life of Chaos
神秘的混沌理論
Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand. It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia – how did we get here?
In this programme, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder?
It's a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
And the best thing is that one doesn't need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.
混沌理論這名詞，讓人聯想到不可預測的天氣，金融危機甚至出了錯的科學。但混沌還有令人著迷和被隱藏的一面。然而，這方面科學家只有初步的了解。混沌理論或可回答困擾人類經年的難題，就是我們是如何出現的。物理學家卡利里教授，將探索神秘的混沌理論，解釋宇宙是如何由從塵埃中誕生，又如何孕育出智慧生命，怎樣從無序中産生有序。備有中文字幕。

4. Mysterious Birth of the Moon
月球誕生的秘密
Over four decades ago, the United States and the Soviet Union raced to become the first nation to land an astronaut on the moon. The Apollo astronauts got there first, but it's what they found that turns out to be their greatest legacy. Walking around, they picked up rocks and delivered them to labs back on Earth. Those samples have given scientists clues to one of the most vexing questions in all of science: where did the Moon come from? The answer sheds light on an even grander question: how did the Earth evolve into the planet we know today?
超過四十年前，美國和蘇聯競相成為太空人登陸月球的第一個國家。阿波羅號的太空人，把月球的石頭帶回地球上的實驗室，然而這些樣本給科學家帶來其中一個最令人頭痛的問題，就是月球從何而來？而答案闡明了另一個更大的難題，就是地球怎麼演變成今天的星球？備有英文字幕。
5. Oasis in Space
太空中的綠洲
Water: our most precious resource. Without it, life could not exist on our planet. In a feverish scientific search for water around our solar system, will we also find life? Fly out into our solar system and discover what makes our world stand out among the family of planets. Stunning imagery will captivate you as we journey to, and sometimes even below, the surfaces of our neighbour worlds to discover whether or not life might be possible beyond our home planet.
水是我們最寶貴的資源，沒有水，人類就不能在地球生存。科學家正追尋我們的太陽系中，其他的星體是否有水甚至其他生命的存在。飛出太陽系，探索到底什麼讓地球在眾星體中脫穎而出。備有英文字幕。
6. Undiscovered Worlds
未發現的世界
Hundreds of planets have now been found orbiting stars beyond the Sun, they are known as exoplanets. These incredible discoveries, have quickly redefined our understanding of how planets and solar systems form, and how common they are in our galaxy. As fascinating technologies develop and endeavors such as the Kepler Telescope move ever closer to the possibility of finding an Earth-like world, we ponder how the rapidly expanding science of exoplanets will change how we view our place in the universe.
太陽系外行星是在太陽系之外的行星，至目前為止已發現數以百計的系外行星。這些驚人的發現，重新定義了我們如何理解太陽系和行星的形成，以及在銀河系中是如此的普通。而科技的開發和努力，如克卜勒太空望遠鏡的面世，就大大提高了找到一個類似地球的世界的可能性。備有英文字幕。
7. Death of a Star
星體的死亡
To some there are few visions that are more reassuring: the endless cycle of the sun, the heavens ceaselessly turning. The night sky is unchanging and eternal. Modern astronomy has given us a much different vision: a universe that roils and vents its rage. In this action-packed episode, audiences journey inside a star to witness its violent death: in the fierce collapse of its core, in the obliteration of its outer layers in a vast cosmic explosion, and in the birth of a black hole with billions of times the mass of our sun are crammed into a single point.
曾經有人相信太陽是循環不息，天不斷轉動而夜空則永恆不變。現代天文學提出了截然不同的觀念，即宇宙是幻變無常的。本集將見證一個星體的壯烈死亡之旅，從核心崩塌到巨大的爆炸至黑洞的誕生。備有英文字幕。
8. Search for the Edge of the Universe
搜尋宇宙邊緣
The universe has long captivated us with its immense scales of distance and time. How far does it stretch? Where does it end, and what lies beyond the star fields and the streams of galaxies that extend as far as our telescopes can see? These questions are beginning to yield to a series of extraordinary new lines of investigation and technologies that are allowing us to peer into the most distant realms of the cosmos. At the same time, a bold new set of scientific theories is telling us that time and space are incomprehensibly large. What will we learn on our search for the edge of the universe?
人類早已被宇宙浩瀚的距離和時間所吸引。宇宙究竟有多大？盡頭到底在那裡？更遠之處的星野和星系的星流又是怎樣的？而望遠鏡可以看到嗎？非凡的科技有助窺探宇宙的最遠處。與此同時，大膽的新科學理論告訴我們時間和空間是不可思議的大。人類正學習尋找宇宙的邊緣。備有英文字幕。
