From the award-winning team that brought you The Secret Life of Chaos comes a unique television event on the physics of gravity.
With the brilliant Professor Jim Al-Khalili as our host, we use Albert Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity to show how the rate at which you age is affected by gravity and the speed at which you move about in your daily life.
In this episode, we visit the LIGO lab in the USA where gravity waves were discovered, and uncover the latest theories about our cosmos that have come from studying the most intense sources of gravity imaginable – black holes.
