Discovery Science is looking at the world a bit differently this October. First, Professor Brian Cox explains the mysteries of the universe using simple truths and mind-blowing images in WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE (Oct. 3). Then, from the radio that made the world smaller to the machine gun that made it more dangerous – reflect on the INVENTIONS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD (Oct.12). Afterwards, the boys of STORM CHASERS (Oct. 26) are back to put their lives on the line while tracking terrorizing tornados. And TIME WARP (Oct. 20) takes a slow motion view at everyday occurrences like getting punched in the face, throwing a kitten in the air, or blowing up a raw chicken breast.
