How Do Humans Differ From Other Animals?

CONSCIOUSNESS - Physically, humans and animals seem similar. Mentally, humans seem so superior. What's so special about human nature?

Did The Universe Have A Beginning?

COSMOS - Some scientists claim that the universe did not have a beginning. Some theologians contend that the universe did not need a beginning.

What Is Nothing?

COSMOS - What if nothing ever existed? Scientists claim that the universe came from nothing. But what's the nature of nothing? That's where the confusion lies.

Why Do We Sleep?

CONSCIOUSNESS - Why do we spend so much of our lives not awake? What do sleeping and dreaming reveal about consciousness?

Will The Universe Ever End?

COSMOS - In the far, far future, what happens to planets, stars, galaxies, black holes? What’s the ‘Big Rip’ and the ‘Big Crunch’? And if 'multiple universes’ exist, if one universe ends, do others begin?

CONSCIOUSNESS - Some claim their scientific study of ESP overturns the worldview of science. Should we take these startling pronouncements seriously? If so, what would it mean for events in the physical world to defy all known physical laws? Either there is something misleading about those events or something beyond those physical laws.
