The search for the laws of creation written and presented by Nigel Calder The past year has seen a giant step forward along a line of discoveries that future generations will recognize as one of the glories of our age. The strong evidence for a quality called 'charm' helps to make sense of the cosmic forces that build stars and atoms and living things. Enigmatic 'black holes' in space are becoming more credible. And the searchers describe how the wonderful variety in nature all comes out of a single primeval Big Bang. "Nothing makes me more hopeful that our generation holds the key to the universe in our hands: that perhaps in our lifetime we may be able to tell why this immense universe of galaxies and particles is logically inevitable." (Steven Weinberg, Harvard University)
