00:00Have you ever looked around at the limitless majesty of creation and wondered?
00:12Wondered what all these forests, valleys, mountains and puddles are actually for?
00:18Wondered how many buildings were knocked down to make way for them and who granted the planning
00:22permission?
00:24Wondered about all the incredible yet musky animals we share our planet with?
00:28What's up with them?
00:30From pointless ants to long-necked horse monsters, from repugnant wombats to beautiful elephants.
00:37What do the creatures want and why do they refuse to tell us?
00:43And then of course there's us, humanic kind.
00:47Have you ever wondered how we got here?
00:49Wondered where we're going?
00:51Wondered about the biggest mystery of all, what is the meaning of life?
00:56Well I haven't, but others have.
00:58For thousands of years, thinkers, artists, authors and Mayak Keral have struggled to
01:04define humankind's purpose.
01:06Is life's meaning a riddle that even can be answered?
01:09And if so, should we listen or cover our ears to avoid spoilers?
01:14In this landmark documentary special, I'll travel the globe to walk in slow motion through
01:19picturesque locations, get up close to some of the most significant molecules in existence
01:25and meet a variety of academics, experts and professional mammals to ask some of the most
01:30significant questions you can say with a mouth.
01:34Hello, who are you?
01:35I'm Brian Cox, Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester.
01:39Can I call you Brian or do you prefer Cox?
01:42So join me, Philomena Conk, as I uncover the point of it all.
01:46This is Conk Conk Life!
