TIME
Friday 13 October - Friday 3 November 2006 TBC
In this four-programme series, string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.

1. DAYTIME
Time seems to drive every moment. It's the most inescapable force we feel.

2. LIFETIME
The most powerful effect of time on our lives is the way it limits us. Our knowledge of death is so embedded in our lives and spirituality that, were immortality possible, would we lose the sense that makes us human?

3. EARTH TIME
We hold a unique knowledge of time, realising that it stretches deep into the past, and will continue into the future. How does this affect our sense of who we are?

4. COSMIC TIME
We've always structured our lives based on an unchanging past and a predictable and ordered future. But atomic and cosmic discoveries have changed all that. What is time itself? And will it ever end? http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/time.shtml

I think you answered your own question! And I thought I could be overly detailed! :)

Why would you want to download this, it is so far off base in it's interpretation of time you will be confused for the rest of your life.
1..Daytime is merely when the part of the earth that you are on is facing the sun, the earth's rotation is a predictable chain of events, the intervals between those events is time. We choose to see ourselves as different in some grand way from other animals so we designated ourselves as humans and created a super being to give us spirituality and hope.
2..Here again it is events that limit our lifespans, heartbeats is a prime example, there is a limit to the number you will experience. Immortality is impossible, there is even a limit to how long the universe will exist.
3..Your knowledge of time is badly flawed. Earth time is governed by clocks, devices that have nothing to do with time, they were created by humans to regulate their days, it's nice to know when it's dinner time. We created time zones on earth in an attempt to keep track of what happed in some far off place in relation to the time in our area. A man whacks his thumb with a hammer in Australia, at the same instant a man in the USA is hit by a car, it isTuesday in Australia but it's Monday in the USA. What does that have to do with time?
4..What is an unchanging past? Of course it is unchanging, it is merely a record of past events. A predictable future is true only to a degree, it's a safe bet to say that the sun will rise tomorrow and winter will follow aumumn, events that have gone unchanged for billions of years are unlikely to change overnight, but the possibility exists that everything could come to an end in ten seconds cannot be totally discounted. Atomic and cosmic discoveries has changed nothing, they have added to our knowledge and enabled us to live better and longer. Before the big bang there was no time or space, the introduction of matter caused the beginning of time and space, the movement of matter created intervals between these movements, those intervals is time. Space is there because of the eltromagnetic fields gererated by the moving matter. The void had neither time nor space because it cantained no matter. Time will end with the end of movement in the universe. Please read this answer a few times before you it discard it as nonsense, you will begin to see things in a new light.
