我們的生命跟宇宙有著不可分割的聯繫。
生命和宇宙之間的關連比我們想像中更密切。黑洞不但是生命的對照，更可能在人體的構造過程中扮演過一定角色；而且我們並不孤單，科學家相信在浩瀚宇宙間，還有不少行星有生物居住。本節目追蹤最新的觀天科技，看其如何開辟新天地，令我們對已誕生138億年的宇宙更深了解。

Our lives are inextricably linked with the universe.
Life and the universe are more connected than we ever imagined. The black hole is not the antithesis of life, but may have had a role in the physical make-up of our bodies. Also, “we are not alone.” In fact, scientists now believe that there are numerous planets with life throughout the universe. Space Spectacle follows the latest observation technologies breaking new ground in our understanding of the cosmos, a journey spanning 13.8 billion years.

今集會帶大家看看一粒棲息了大量生物的行星。它在哪？它在離太陽系很遠的地方，這粒行星位於全宇宙最常見的一種星體附近，就是紅矮星。圍繞紅矮星運行的行星，很有可能棲息了外星生物，在這顆星上，地球的自然法則全部都不適用，但當地的生物，演化時間比起地球上的生物更長，所以有可能比人類演化得更加成熟。

In this episode, we’ll explore an alien planet that is filled with life. Where is that planet? Far beyond our solar system. It is near the kind of star that is most common in the universe, a red dwarf. Planets revolving around such stars may be the best candidates for hosting alien life. On this planet, what is natural on Earth does not apply. Life on these planets has had much more time to evolve than on Earth. There may be life forms that have evolved far beyond us.

第六感官
我們都清楚知道人有五個感官：視覺、嗅覺、聽覺、味覺、觸覺，事實上，還有第六個；一般人對這第六感官不太熟悉，這是深藏於我們體內的感官系統，而且不可或缺。這就是「本體感覺」，關乎身體對於所處空間的知覺和感應。我們大多很清楚自己的手腳頭部位於哪裡，這份認知背後的運作，其複雜性遠超我們所想像。如果說能夠感應光線、聲音、味道、氣味以及風吹的是外感官，本體感覺就是感應自己身體的內感官，而且，有別於耳朵、鼻子、口腔這些器官，第六感官是無法「暫時關上」的。讓我們展開探索之旅，去理解這個隱形的感官操作，不由意識所控制，卻對於人類生存是必需的。

We believe that we have 5 senses, yet there is a 6th one. It is more mysterious, buried deep within us, and it is indispensable. It is proprioception, the perception of the position of our body in space.It seems evident to us that we are constantly aware of where our hands, our legs, our head are situated. Yet, this ability is much more complex than we think. If light, noise, flavors, smells and wind are external sensations captured by our sensory organs, proprioception is turned towards the interior of our body. It is also impossible to "extinguish" this 6th sense, unlike with our ears, nose, and mouth that we can plug or close.Let us embark on the discovery of this invisible sense, practically unconscious, and yet essential to our existence.

哭與笑
笑聲與哭聲是全世界通用的語言，也是人類社交溝通的支柱，人生中無數難忘時刻: 嬰兒出生、牙牙學語、甜蜜初戀、摰愛消逝，皆以笑聲哭聲作背景音樂。然而，有關笑與哭這兩種人類行為的科學研究，卻少得可憐。我們為何會發展出這些不尋常的聲音溝通技巧？這種表達情緒的聲音，是人類獨有的嗎？從嬰兒這種只懂哭與笑的生物身上，又可以有甚麼發現呢？有賴一群認知腦神經科學家、心理學家以及進化生物學家的努力，我們得以對笑與哭的世界深入探討，並發現原來這兩種行為有很多共通之處。

The unmistakable sounds of laughing and crying are recognizable the world over. They are pillars of human communication and social interaction. Both are the soundtrack to our lives’ most memorable moments - births, first words, first loves and final losses. And yet, researchers will tell you when it comes to studying human behaviour there is nothing as poorly understood as laughs and tears. Why did we develop these unusual vocal communication techniques? How uniquely human are these emotional sounds? What can we learn by studying creatures who can only cry or laugh, you know, babies? Thankfully, cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists and evolutionary biologists are exploring the worlds of laughing and crying. Surprisingly, they’re learning that these behaviours have a lot in common.

脂肪真相
是我們控制著自己的脂肪，還是脂肪在控制我們？科學家開始把脂肪視作一個既神奇又有多功能的器官，脂肪的大小主要與生物過程有關，個人選擇其實影響不大。這一集，我們會透過狩獵採集者、相撲選手和超級模特兒的真實故事，發掘脂肪的複雜功能，它又是如何影響我們的食慾、荷爾蒙，甚至生殖能力呢？

Do we control our fat, or does it control us? Scientists are coming to understand fat as a fascinating and dynamic organ—one whose size has more to do with biological processes than personal choices. Through real life stories of hunter-gatherers, sumo wrestlers, and supermodels, NOVA explores the complex functions of fat and role it plays in controlling hunger, hormones, and even reproduction.

They may have stolen many hearts—and the internet—but cats can be perplexing pets. As much cuddly and playful as they are aloof and uncaring, they’ve often raised the question: Did humans ever really domesticate felines? And what more can science tell us about a relationship that predates history?
