"Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? Did it stretch forever or was there a limit? And where did it all come from? Where are we going?

"If, like me, you have looked at the stars and tried to make sense of what you see, you have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear and deceptively simple but the answers have always been beyond our reach -- until now." --Stephen Hawking

This fall, Professor Stephen Hawking will examine these and other questions in his new series, "Stephen Hawking's Universe". This much-anticipated 6-part seies will focus on the history of science as it relates to humanity's understanding of the universe in which we live. Hawking takes us on a journey of discovery, from the Big Bang to Einstein's Theory of Relativity to Black Holes to the search for a "Theory of Everything"
