Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: A review

Hi, my name is Jodie. I am eight years old. I am studying space. I like studying space because we will never know everything about it. When I watched Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking on Blu-ray, it answered a lot of my questions, like How did the universe start and may time travel be possible? Stephen Hawking says he is a physicist and a dreamer. In episode one, ‘Aliens,’ he asked the question, ‘Do aliens exist?’ Stephen Hawking had some very creative ideas of what aliens might look like. He also said that they may just take what they need from us—or never think about us.

In episode three, ‘The Story of Everything,’ he wants to know all about the boundaries of the universe and how it ends. It’s a very hard subject to explain but let me put it this way, he sure knows a lot about the beginning of the universe!

I liked these episodes very much. I felt completely into the show after just a few minutes, it was so interesting, and the special effects were awesome. I recommend the series to adults and kids of all ages who wonder about these things.

Happy Junior Scientist Jodie.
