If all the things around us, from the biggest objects to the smallest particles, disappeared, what would be left? Surprisingly enough, the answer is not nothing but something. And this something is one of the biggest mysteries physicists have ever dealt with. The something is space. To most of us space is something we do not perceive, something we do not think about. The documentary What is Space?, from The Fabric of the Cosmos series, shows us that there is a lot to think about. Brian Greene, physicist and author of a best-selling book, is one of the leading proponents of string theory. He will personally guide the audience through the fascinating development of space theories, from Newton's classical theory and Einstein's relation of space and time, to the most up-to-date concepts dealing with dark energy. Greene's simple interpretation is accompanied by impressive visual effects, which enable the audience to enjoy even the most unimaginable experiences such as a taxi ride at the speed of light. The film also presents reconstructions of scientific discoveries, archive materials and comments by the world’s leading scientists. (Academia Film Olomouc)
