Through The Wormhole

"Through The Wormhole" is a series of one hour documentaries hosted, narrated, and executive produced by actor Morgan Freeman which runs on the Discovery Science Channel. The program explores a range of science topics, from how to build a stable wormhole to the question of life beyond Earth, from speculation about machine intelligence to the possibility of extending the average human lifespan into the thousands of years.

The show is well produced and intelligently presented. The speculation offered is based on the science or mathematics involved, not speculation based upon other speculation. The series is also willing to deal with some of the implications of the possibilities discussed. This program is worth a look.
