Time
Time is a four-part BBC documentary series presented by a theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, explaining the nature of time from in our daily life to in the cosmic level. Michio Kaku discovers our sense of time passing and the clocks that drive our bodies. He reveals the forces of time that make and destroy us in a lifetime. He journeys to some of the Earth's most spectacular geological sites to look for clues to the extraordinary depths of time at a planetary level. Finally, he takes us on a cosmic journey in search of the beginning (and the end) of time itself.
