Fabric of the Cosmos Available on DVD

Physicist and popular author Brian Greene hosted a series of four documentaries as part of the American public television station PBS' NOVA science series. The documentary, Fabric of the Cosmos, was based largely on his book of the same name (and also on his 2011 book The Hidden Reality).

In the documentary (and the book), Greene explores the fundamental nature of space, time, and the idea that our observable universe may just be one element in a vastly larger multiverse of parallel universes, using engaging visual demonstrations of some of the most difficult concepts to grasp about the way our universe functions.

To learn more about the documentary - and to learn how you can get the DVD (or even watch it for free online) - check out our full review of NOVA: The Fabric of the Cosmos on DVD.

PBS Explores Fabric of the Cosmos in November

This November, the PBS science series NOVA will tackle some of the most fundamental concepts of the universe. Together with theoretical physicist Brian Greene, the series will present a 4-part documentary exploring the key physics concepts of space and time, when it translates Greene's 2005 book The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality for the small screen.

In 2003, Greene collaborated with NOVA to turn his bestseller The Elegant Universe into a documentary about string theory, which earned the 2003 Peabody Award.

The new series will broadcast on PBS channels across the country, first airing on Wednesday evenings:

What is Space? - 11/2 airdateThe Illusion of Time - 11/9 airdateQuantum Leap - 11/16 airdateUniverse or Multiverse? - 11/23 airdate

You can hear Greene himself talk about the series on NPR's Science Friday podcast from the first hour of the show on October 28. (Here's a direct link to the MP3.)
