NOVA: The Elegant Universe: The String's The Thing
Brian Greene describes the serendipitous steps that led from a forgotten 200-year-old mathematical formula to the first glimmerings of strings — quivering strands of energy whose different vibrations give rise to quarks, electrons, photons and all other elementary particles. Strings are truly tiny — smaller than an atom by the same factor that a tree is smaller than the entire universe. But, as Greene explains, it is possible — for the first time — to combine the laws of the large and the laws of the small into a proposal for a single, harmonious Theory of Everything.

Nature: My Life As A Turkey
Based on the true story of writer and naturalist Joe Hutto, portrayed by wildlife photographer Jeff Palmer, this film chronicles Hutto’s remarkable experience of imprinting wild turkey eggs and raising the hatchlings to adulthood. Deep in the wilds of Florida, Hutto spent each day out and about as a “wild turkey” with his family of chicks — until the day came when he had to let his children grow up and go off on their own. As it turned out, this was harder than he ever imagined. Hutto’s story also became a book, "Illumination in the Flatlands."
