Brian Cox's Adventures in Space and Time — S01E03 — What Is Gravity?

00:00:05 For more than a decade, I've made programmes about the universe...

00:02:43 There is a lot more to it than that.

00:05:20 to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.

00:07:15 HORN BLASTS

00:09:47 CHATTERING

00:12:22 the entire universe.

00:14:53 a truly extraordinary phenomenon will take place -

00:20:27 ..it's not spherical. Kind of an irregular shape.

00:22:59 rocks surfing the Sun began sticking together

00:25:47 it would have crossed what we call the Roche limit -

00:29:10 and the elements of life in the universe.

00:32:11 So this is where all the carbon in the universe comes from.

00:34:43 When a star runs out of fuel,

00:49:45 Since the dawn of

00:51:32 swarming like bees around

00:54:46 There should be a law against it.

00:56:31 And it turns out, in the last few years,

00:58:25 Two sunrises - one day!
