布莱恩·考克斯(Brian Cox)教授探询自然定律是如何创造了宇宙中最复杂多样的现象:生命
◇第一集:生命的定义(What Is Life)
在本集中,布莱恩教授拜访了著名的“环太平洋火山带”(Ring of Fire)的东南亚地区。在这个世界上火山活动最活跃的地方,他检验了生与死的一线之隔并提出了最古老的问题:什么是生命?传统的答案往往牵涉到神灵;这在菲律宾山区每年的“亡灵节”(Day of the Dead)庆祝仪式中可见一斑。
布莱恩教授提出了另外一个答案,一个与宇宙中的能量流动关联起来的答案:生命并不是一个“事物”;它是一个化学过程,这个过程利用了在宇宙中流动的能量并通过DNA的精妙化学运作而代代相传。与神秘的说法相去甚远,生命的出现也许可以看作是物理学定律的必然结果。
◇第二集:扩展的宇宙(Expanding Universe)
在美国繁茂的自然历史中,布莱恩教授遇见了许多令人叹为观止的动物;它们揭示了各种感觉是如何进化的。
地球上的每种动物使用各自拥有的独特的感官来探知周围的物理环境,以不同的方式经历着周围的世界。追随这些机制的进化是一个带我们走过生命演化历程的故事:从单细胞生物到更复杂的灵性生物。布莱恩教授发现,经过38亿年的时间,这些感官促使着生命向不同的方向发展并且最终导致了人类的好奇心和智力的出现。终究是我们的感官使得我们能够仰望星空,探索这不断扩张的宇宙,并理解它的起源。
◇第三集:无尽形态美(Endless Forms Most Beautiful)
整个宇宙几乎没有生命的迹象。地球,这个我们称为“家园”的星球,乍看起来似乎违反了自然规律:它拥有着各种颜色、形态和大小的生命。没有人能够确切地知道现在存活着的物种有多少;我们最好的猜测是将近8千7百万。在这一集中,布莱恩教授提问到,在一个由物理学和化学定律统治的宇宙中,一个星球(地球)是如何能够产生这么多无与伦比的生物的。
◇第四集:尺寸很重要(Size Matters)
在这一集中,布莱恩教授环游澳大利亚来探询关于生命规模的物理学规律。一个生物体的尺寸不仅仅决定了哪些自然作用会影响到它的生命,也决定了它的“生命速度”。南部澳大利亚的渺小的弯翼蝙蝠以极快的速度丧失热量,使得它们每天挣扎着找到足够的食物来存活。然而随着生物体的尺寸变大,新陈代谢的速度缓慢下来;这对于生物体的寿命有着深远的影响。
◇第五集:地球;家园(Home)
就人类现有知识所言,地球是宇宙中存在生命仅有的一个地方。然而这个特性将会保持多久呢?天文学家正在接近发现其他类地星球。布莱恩教授思考了为什么生命在这里生根、而什么是使得太空中的一块石头转变成生机勃勃的星球所需要的成分。

CBS will be bringing back another one of its veteran dramas for the 2019-20 TV season. Announced this afternoon, the network has officially renewed “NCIS” for its seventeenth season. The news comes after star and executive producer, Mark Harmon, signed a new deal with CBS to reprise his role on the series. “NCIS has been a global juggernaut for almost two decades,” said CBS Entertainment President, Kelly Kahl. “Its viewers are clearly the most loyal of any drama on television. They are passionate about the characters, the plotlines and the storytelling. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the gifted production team and the cast, led by the extraordinary Mark Harmon. We are delighted that the show will remain a linchpin of the CBS schedule this coming season.” In its current season, “NCIS” has been averaging 12.2 million viewers in the live
same day ratings, making it TV’s second-most-watched scripted series, behind only “The Big Bang Theory.” It has remained a strong performer for CBS, in both its ratings and viewership numbers, and was widely considered to be a strong renewal contender leading up to the announcement today.
