Everything we see around us, from the iron in our blood to the steel in our machines, originated in the violent, spectacular birth of our cosmos. This documentary takes you on an incredible journey back 13.8 billion years to a time when the entire universe was smaller than an atom and hotter than the core of any star. We explore the desperate battle between matter and antimatter, the moment the "cosmic fog" lifted to release the first light, and how the deaths of ancient stars forged the very elements that make life possible. By combining ground-breaking simulations with insights from world-renowned physicists, we uncover the story of our origins and peer into a distant, chilling future to witness how it all might eventually end.
Welcome to Progress - the home of engineering marvels, space exploration and history's greatest inventions. From rockets that took us to the stars to the world's most advanced military vessels, we'll be bringing you world-class documentaries every week.
