There was just so much of interest in it about the nature of our universe and how the laws of nature

affect
our very day lives. Anyone interested in what goes on around us, unseen but affecting us all, should see
this program. Although the laws of the universe are profound the program is presented in such a way as
to be within the grasp of the lay person.

As well as describing how the universal physical laws constantly are affecting all our lives, the program
also examines the historical aspects of how these laws were discovered, e.g. Galileo's discovery of
gravity and Newton's discovery of the laws of motion (e.g. acceleration). The presenter even
demonstrates, using the same methods as used by the discoverers, how these breakthroughs were
achieved. It was then demonstrated how these laws control everything that we do.

We learn that these laws are constant throughout the entire universe. We learn that all universal bodies
create gravity but at different strengths and this is what keeps the stars and planets "in place". We also
learn that these laws can all be 'reduced' to a mathematical formula, e.g. the circumference of a circle is
calculated by the formula 2πr. We are told that recently a previously undiscovered star was identified by
using gravitational formulae in connection with a planet that was being pulled away from its gravitational
rotation around a its star by a stronger gravitational pull from another, unsighted and previously unknown
star. The whereabouts and size of this 'new' star was then calculated by gravitational formula and
subsequently physically sighted.

The "mystery" part of the program is whether the universal mathematical formulae existed before the "big
Bang" and in some way was the force behind everything and we are now discovering those formulae or
whether man has invented the various formulae and applied them to the laws of nature. In other words,
have these laws existed for all time or do they originate in the human brain. Apparently the jury is still out
on this.
