I found this series while channel surfing recently, but now I've grown onto it. Through the Wormhole is a documentary series focusing on theoretical physics and questions about existance(think: string theory, multiverse theory, is there a God?, where did time come from?). Each episode presents one question and features several scientists with strange ideas that they are trying to prove. It feels kind of like theology for atheists. Although some of the ideas are difficult to understand, and some don't really make sense, it's still interesting to listen to the many possibilities of what the universe really is, not just what we can perceive with out 5 senses. And, yes, some ideas do make sense in a very roundabout way, so that's when things start to seem strange and a bit scary.
