Einstein And Hawking- Masters of Our Universe(Episode 2)
The second part discusses string theory and supersymmetry. Einstein’s theory of general relativity leads to the concept of an expanding universe that leads to the theory of the Big Bang. Applying the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics to black holes, Stephen Hawking shows that black holes “evaporate”. Known as “Hawking Radiation”, it is counterintuitive as it shows that these cosmic giants emit quantum particles.

This 2-part series explores how, for over 100 years, scientists have tried to marry general relativity and quantum theory together. This is not science history. Einstein and Hawking's ideas are still shaping physics. Meet the modern scientists pushing their work even further. Using the boldest technologies, these contemporary trailblazers are building on the brilliance of their predecessors. Using interviews and recordings of Einstein and Hawking, both scientists are brought back to life - creating new discussions, disagreements and insights into their lives. Two titans of science. Two mind-blowing theories. This is the story of the masters of the Universe. 一連兩集的影片探究百多年來，科學家如何一直嘗試把廣義相對論和量子理論結合。兩位已故科學家愛因斯坦和霍金的思想仍在影響物理學。影片中介紹多位當代科學家，他們的研究工作都以兩位前輩的成就作為基石，更利用當前的科技，將他們的思想進一步推展。影片中愛因斯坦和霍金昔日的採訪和錄影，讓兩位科學家重現眼前。他們仍在創造新的討論、分歧和見解。兩位科學巨人，兩種驚世理論，這是兩位宇宙偉人的故事。
第二集討論弦理論和超對稱。愛因斯坦的廣義相對論引起了宇宙不斷膨脹的概念，因而衍生出宇宙大爆炸理論。霍金使用該理論來解鎖宇宙，他將理論與量子力學的不確定性原理結合起來，提出反直覺的理論 ─ 黑洞會「蒸發」，並釋放出量子粒子，亦即「霍金輻射」。
