Everything and Nothing

Prepare yourselves for a helter-skelter ride through some of the most exhilarating scientific and philosophical ideas the human race has ever encountered.  We will discover what happened before the Big Bang, peer into the impossible centre of a Black Hole, find out how big the universe really is, that some infinities are bigger than others and reveal the seething intensity of activity that takes place in the sheer nothingness.   And we shall also find out why the Vacuum Cleaner is the most significant discovery in the history of the human race.
