Part 2: The Key to the Cosmos or The Key to the Cosmos This episode tackles world-changing discoveries such as radioactivity, the Atom Bomb and the Big Bang, and tries to answer the biggest questions of all - why are we here and how were we made? Part 3: The Illusion of Reality or The Illusion of Reality Al-Khalili discovers that there might be parallel universes in which different versions of us exist, and finds out that empty space isn’t empty at all, but seething with activity. alt. links on youtube here.

Good stuff. It seems like humans have made little progress in this field except for arm waving and speculation for far too long. No testable hypothesies. Hopefully the new accelerator will shed light on the subject in the next few years. Great post.
