Big Bang
This is a short film featuring Janna Levin, a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. Her scientific research concerns the Early Universe, Chaos, and Black Holes. Through this video we attempted to recreate the moment the universe started through powerful 3D sequences that demonstrate our world’s beginnings and illustrate this ancient, monumental occurrence using current technologies and theories.

Not sure about the BIG BANG, interesting to listen to though and video supports really well. :-)

Just being picky, I felt the background music or sound effects were too loud for the narrative. Won't get into the origin of the universe thing!

Very nice. I'm always wishing the people producing for the Science channel had more budget for this sort of thing (not to mention the usually awful opening titles!)

Very nice animation. I'm curious, do

Very nice animation.
I'm curious, do we have any other examples of something coming from nothing? Has it ever been re-created in a lab or anywhere else observable?
Also, what do you mean by "potential" existed? Did "potential" ever not exist?
If something coming from nothing is not re-producible wouldn't it be outside the realm of science? IE: What we call a miracle.

Maybe we're too interested in looking at what man has created on this small screen and not the message that's being presented? "started with nothing"? after hearing that I had trouble watching the rest. I thought I had faith in God, but I think Janna has greater faith in "nothing". Now near the end of the piece she says "we know something happened". Yes, something did happen....In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth......
The animation was very good, what was used? What camera was used for the shoot? Looked very nice.

I watch a buuuuuuuunch of this kind of thing, and this is exceptional. You've found a terrific presenter, and lit and shot her really, really well. So where's the next 50 minutes? :-)
