João Magueijo’s Big Bang

Production Details

Charismatic cosmologist João Magueijo believes he knows what happened at the beginning of time.  His brilliant new theory provides fresh answers to the question “how did we all get here?” and explains many of the paradoxes of ‘The Big Bang’ – the zero hour when everything we know came into being.  But his radical ideas have sent shockwaves through the scientific world and threatened to undermine many of the most fundamental beliefs in physics.  He has been accused of being ‘an anarchist’, a ‘heretic’ and even a ‘moron’.

In this visually-inventive and mentally-stimulating documentary Magueijo explains exactly what makes his ideas so ‘dangerous’.
