Apparently Morgan Freeman has found a new way out of Shawshank State Prison: Through the Wormhole is a new series on the Science Channel that aims to explain cosmological questions. Here’s how he pitched it on The Daily Show Wednesday night:
The site claims that the show will go deep:
What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? Are we really alone? Is there a creator? These questions have been pondered by the most exquisite minds of the human race. Now, science has evolved to the point where hard facts and evidence may be able to provide us with answers instead of philosophical theories.
Through the Wormhole will bring together the brightest minds and best ideas from the very edges of science — Astrophysics, Astrobiology, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and more — to reveal the extraordinary truth of our Universe.
They’ve got a few video clips up already, blending on-site interviews with animation.
Through the Wormhole premieres Wednesday, June 9 at 10pm.
