There is an aspect of our lives that we all take for granted. Its something so familiar you usually don't even give it a second thought. One of the key elements of being a human being is that we can tell the time. It allows us to make sense of the world. The past, present and the future but it is no where near straight forward as you might think. Professor Brian Cox is going to find out what makes time tick. Did Time have a beginning? Why does time tick and does our future already exist? Professor Brian Cox is going to try and answer one of the simplest questions you can ask, What Time is It ????
In this four-programme series, string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.
He 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.
