My Favorite Universe Episode Guide
On Being Round
S1 Ep1
What forces tend to make objects round? And why is a sphere the most efficient shape an object can take? The answers will lead us across the cosmos.
On Being Dense

This is a discussion of different levels of density and the inherent mysteries of this property, along with the ways in which an understanding of density helps us think creatively about the world.
Death By Black Hole
S1 Ep4
Take a look at black holes, one of the most fascinating topics in the universe—including the ways in which they would kill a human being, how they wreak havoc in the universe, and some provocative new research.
End of the World
S1 Ep5
Here is a detailed look at three scenarios for the destruction of our planet: the death of the Sun, the collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, and the heat death of the cosmos.
Coming Attractions
S1 Ep6
We now know that a deposit of energy sufficient to kill off 50 to 90 percent of all species strikes Earth every 100 million years. This lecture looks at our risks of getting hit by an asteroid and what we can do to avoid it.
Onward to the Edge
S1 Ep7
Take a break from the death and destruction of asteroids and the end of the universe and wonder, instead, at the enormity of the cosmos and what our place in it might be.
In Defense of the Big Bang
S1 Ep8
We now know without doubt how the universe began, how it evolved, and how it will end. This lecture explains and defends a "theory" far too often misunderstood.
Forged in the Stars
S1 Ep10
The origin of the elements that make up life is one of the most important discoveries in any field in the 20th century, yet underappreciated by the public because it happened over many decades. This lecture presents a step-by-step explanation of the long path to a Nobel Prize-winning idea.
The Search for Planets
S1 Ep11
Before 1995, the planets of our own solar system were the only ones we knew about; the total has now passed 100. This lecture discusses the tools and methods being used to find other planets that might be hospitable to human life.
The Search for Life in the Universe
S1 Ep12
This lecture examines the very real possibility that life exists elsewhere, and speculates about its origins and chemical makeup.
