This program features Freeman Dyson, an elder statesman of the scientific community whose ideas are so original in scope that his colleagues coined the term "Dysonian" to describe any highly imaginative idea. Joining him are astrophysicist Sara Seagar, a rising star in planetary system research who studies large extra-solar planets; John Bahcall, a pioneer in neutrino astrophysics and the driving force behind the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope; and Feryal Ozel, a specialist on the subjects of neutron stars and black holes. Their discussion of space, ranging from extraterrestrial life to comets on a collision course with Earth, is out of this world.
