For me, someone that doesn't have a science background and is not well read on the topic of the universe, this movie is very interesting and informative. The movie does an excellent job painting a picture of the size (unbelievable) and nature of the universe. Each of the specialist on the tape explain their theories in layman's terms with very familiar examples. Without it, the theories and numbers would be just too difficult to comprehend. The movie raises many interesting questions and presents a startling contradiction in theories regarding the age of the universe; one that could possibly be answered in our lifetime. Of course, there are more questions than answers, but that is to be expected. The explanation, spoken and demonstrated, of a black hole was very interesting. All topics are well presented and I enjoyed the tape very much. My only regret is that it was not longer (50 minutes). Worth checking out.

If you want to know about the Universe you live in don't miss one.

This is a awsome overview of the Universe. Excellent for anyone who would like to know about the universe we live in.
