Movie Reviews of NOVA: Runaway Universe
Movie Review: One of the better science naratives for TV
Summary: 5 Stars
In the mid-80's Hawking announced that science was nearly over:
that we had discovered everything and made math of it.
The astrophysics people in testing if the universe was slowing down, using type one supernovas as mile posts, found that the universe was actually accelerating in the expansion that they measured by red shifts.
Probably one of the most important discoveries of recent time
and since we haven't a clue what kind of energy exactly dark energy is
or what much of the dark matter is like,
it will involve new mathematics as well.
Summary of NOVA: Runaway Universe
Runaway Universe - presents the dramatic quest to unlock the secrets of the stars as two rival astronomy teams search for exploding stars, map gigantic cosmic patterns of galaxies, and grapple with the ultimate question: what is the fate of the universe? With the use of stunning three-dimensional cosmic simulations captured with revolutionary high-definition technology, NOVA presents the first attempt to explore the riddle of "dark energy"- the mysterious repulsive force that some scientists believe counteracts gravity. How big is the universe? What does a supernova look like? Was Einstein's greatest blunder actually correct? Explore these questions and other fascinating mysteries of the universe with this thrilling intergalactic adventure.Documentary DVD Video
