part 1 can you think of 100 different uses for a sock? how would you cope with glasses that turn everything upside down? what`s your emotional intelligence? can you create a work of art in ten minutes? horizon takes seven people who are some of the highest fliers in their field - a musical prodigy, a quantum physicist, an artist, a dramatist, an raf fighter pilot, a chess grandmaster and a wall street trader. each is put through a series of tests to discover who is the most intelligent?

part 2 we are bad at making decisions. according to science, our decisions are based on oversimplification, laziness and prejudice. and that`s assuming that we haven`t already been hijacked by our surroundings or led astray by our subconscious! featuring exclusive footage of experiments that show how our choices can be confounded by temperature, warped by post-rationalization and even manipulated by the future, horizon presents a guide to better decision making, and introduces you to mathematician garth sundem, who is convinced that conclusions can best be reached using simple maths and a pencil!

"a rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned...with someone or something new on-board." tribute to the 1997 movie "event horizon". created by billzerosion. (original music was too soothing, so i changed it to "death threat" by death in vegas.)
part 2 danny wallace circumnavigates the globe searching for robot nirvana. he discovers that the robotics world is as weird as it is insanely complicated. during his quest he meets a japanese man who makes copies of himself and his daughter, an italian who claims he`s found the key to human intelligence in a video game and a singaporean whose homage to dusty bin might just turn out to be the robot of danny`s dreams.
part 2 with its famous rings, saturn is the most distant planet clearly visible to the naked eye. but how did the rings get there and when were they formed? to study the planet in detail, scientists needed to get closer. so on 15 october 1997, the cassini-huygens spacecraft was launched.
a dirty bomb is a radiological weapon but unlike a nuclear bomb, its purpose is to contaminate rather than destroy. it uses normal explosives to disperse radioactive materials in the local environment, creating a hazard to health that could last for years unless cleaned up. the relative ease of making such a bomb means it is a potent terrorist weapon but horizon's investigation shows that the risk to health from most such devices need not be great. it also underlines the need for governments to act to secure radioactive sources from falling into criminal hands.

part 1 stephen hawking is the most famous scientist on the planet. his popular science book `a brief history of time` was a publishing sensation, staying at the top of the bestseller lists longer than any other book in recent history. but behind the public face lies an argument that has been raging for almost 30 years. hawking shot to fame in the world of physics when he provided a mathematical proof for the big bang theory. this theory showed that the entire universe exploded from a singularity, an infinitely small point with infinite density and infinite gravity. hawking was able to come to his proof using mathematical techniques that had been developed by roger penrose. these techniques were however developed to deal not with the beginning of the universe but with black holes.
on 26 april 1986, reactor number four at the chernobyl nuclear power plant blew up. forty-eight hours later the entire area was evacuated. over the following months there were stories of mass graves and dire warnings of thousands of deaths from radiation exposure. yet in a bbc horizon report screened on thursday, a number of scientists argue that 20 years after the accident there is no credible scientific evidence that any of these predictions are coming true. the anniversary of the world`s worst nuclear accident in april saw the publication of a number of reports that examined the potential death toll resulting from exposure to radiation from chernobyl.

michael drosnin is an american journalist and best selling author. he has written two books claiming that he can see into the future using a 3000 year old code, hidden in the bible. "we may have less than three years to save our world" michael drosnin, journalist and author. what he can see is truly horrific; according to drosnin, the world could end in an atomic holocaust - in 2006. it sounds preposterous yet drosnin claims to have serious scientific backing. behind his findings lies the work of one of the world's most brilliant theoretical mathematicians, an israeli professor called eliyahu rips. in 1994, using exactly the same ancient code, michael drosnin accurately predicted the assassination of the israeli prime minister yitzak rabin - twelve months before it occurred. drosnin's books on the bible code have been translated into most of the world's major languages and are read by millions of people. if he's right, he's stumbled on one of the most important discoveries ever made. this week horizon investigates the science behind the bible code.
