What is everything? What is nothing? This two-part documentary follows host and professor Jim Al-Khalili as he searches for the answers to these deep and complex questions. In order to discover what "everything" is, Al-Khalili looks at what the universe might actually look like, and how human understanding of space has been influenced by math and science, while the concept of "nothing" is explored via the world of the super-small. As Al-Khalili discovers, these two ideas -- everything and nothing -- are connected in one very profound way: everything came from nothing.

I wish these youtube channels would be more honest and give it the correct title: "Everything and Nothing" which was shown on BBC in 2011.
Witnessing a supernova in my lifetime would be nothing short of profound, seeing a distant sun go out in a final, brilliant flash of glory is the top item on my cosmic bucket list.
I love this person's eloquent speech. In the age of AI narrators. Listening to actual humans with this level of eloquence feels so good.
This is above my pay grade
All Spark documentaries with Prof. Jim Al-Khalili are superb. Thank you very much.
Light from the beginning of the universe has been traveling for 13 billion years and 13 billion LY distance to reach us, yet for the photon no time has passed and no distance was travelled. A bit hard to reconcile those perspectives
I have seen a lot of videos about many of these subjects, but the way this video walks us through the history of discoveries and their relationship to each other is phenomenal whilst also being very enjoyable to watch! Thanks Jim and the team!
Jim Al-Khalili is truly UNPARALLELED BRILLIANT EXCELLENT SCIENCE COMMUNICATOR PHYSICIST and everything. Lots of love and thanks to JIM AL-KHALILI from PAKISTAN 🇵🇰❤️
Finding fully formed galaxies where there were supposed to be unorganized masses of starts is the greatest scientific observation of my lifetime. It means that there is much more to be learned by astrophysics and I find that encouraging and comforting.

That opening comment re the sun compared to grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet was made by the revered Dr. Carl Sagan over 40 years ago in his 'Cosmos' series. 😮
Gottaay that as a Brit it makes me proud that we make programmes like this, for everybody and for free. You’re all welcome
It is truly incredible to see how scientists manage to count the number of things they cannot—and never will be able to—see.
This video is 15 years old.
This is the best presentation of the history of the universe I've seen! Almost poetical.
02:28 Correction. It is NOT the story of everything. It is the story of everything you think that is out there. There's a huge difference!
Great channels on this subject but this is the best. It's such a treat, never want them end. Great work we love it and keep them coming, thank you.
Ptolemy built the old map, Copernicus drew a better one, and Galileo looked through a lens to prove the new map was the real one.
This is an absolutely mind-blowing video! The way you’ve explored the mysteries of the cosmos in this episode is truly captivating. I found the explanation at 05:42 particularly fascinating—the level of detail and the stunning visuals really helped me grasp the scale of the universe in a way I hadn't before. Your channel is quickly becoming my go-to for high-quality space documentaries. I’m already looking forward to the next voyage! To the creator: what was the most surprising thing you learned while researching this specific topic? Keep up the brilliant work! 🚀🌌✨
To me the idea that one of the greatest minds that ever lived, Einstein, would be restricted by his own belief, is insane. Maybe we are, all insane.
