Size Matters

Episodes(2)

Why is Earth not the size of Jupiter? Why aren’t people the size of mice? What would happen if that changed? This two-part special shows that when it comes to the universe, size really does matter. We’ll take you to a series of parallel worlds where size can be changed, and in so doing, we’ll answer the biggest (and the smallest) questions in the universe in the most unforgettable way.
