| Programming Highlights: Tornados and Time Warps Come to Discovery Science in October |
| Posted
on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 06:42 PM |
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.

Next, dangerous situations escalate quickly when it comes to Somali pirates and Taliban kidnappers, making it a struggle to GET OUT ALIVE (Sept. 18). Keith Barry uses his powers of perception and persuasion to read the thoughts and control the behaviours of unsuspecting subjects in DECEPTION WITH KEITH BARRY (Sept. 24). Then, white-picket fences hold in SURBURBAN MONSTERS (Sept. 19) that are poised to attack.
