About the shows
HIDDEN GIANTS
We use the image of the first ever black hole as the backdrop to explore in various ways how incredible black holes really are. We also show how humans were not just able to conceive of these objects, but also build incredibly complex devices that allowed us to “see the unseeable”.
It is a story of what is possible when we fully explore the thoughts and ideas that seem to never let us go.
UNIVERSE UNRAVELLED
An exploration of the greatest unsolved paradox in science, and how resolving it would radically change our description of our reality. We look at how our theories of the large (gravity) and small (quantum mechanics) are in conflict. They are our most successful theories of all time, but simply cannot coexist.
