New Satellite TV Science Programming Targets Younger Generations With Celebrities
Even though you might not realize it, Morgan Freeman has probably taught you something in the recent past.
While many may be scratching their heads and wondering if there was some encoded message in the last Freeman flick they saw, the real logic behind the statement is a little more obvious.
Whether at the recommendation of a friend, in the office, at school, or just while flipping through satellite TV channels, many people have seen one of the educational or scientific programs he's been involved with without even realizing it.
Now, for even more information from Freeman, fans and scientists alike will be able to tune into his new contemplative program on the Science Channel.
The program is designed to explore space, but true to form Freeman will be delving deeper into the mysteries of life and the universe than many of us have before.
From the very first episode Freeman will be tackling the big question of 'was there a Creator?' Likely to both inspire and offend many, Freeman will be getting exactly what he wants from the topic- a thought provoking, discussion starting bit of satellite TV programming.
In fact, the Science Channel network warns viewers to expect more of the same during the course of his 8 program run.
For Freeman a personal interest in space, time, astronomy and space travel is nothing new, but rather the topics which have most interested him throughout his lifetime.
As anyone who has seen the series "Through the Wormhole," hosted and narrated by Freeman can corroborate, anything with Freeman's production company's stamp on it will likely be a little bit mind-bending, especially when presented in high definition.
An academy award winner, Freeman hopes that in conjunction with the science channel celebrities will be able to renew public interest in such matters as space, astronomy and the mysteries of life.
Of course, there are mysteries in the world that not even Morgan Freeman has the answers to.
Some of these big questions will be addressed in the upcoming 'Creation' episode of his Science Channel show.
Examples include 'what happened before the universe was created?'; 'what does dark matter do,'; 'does intelligent life exist on other planets?'; and 'will time travel ever be possible?'.
Surely some of the answers to these questions will be puzzling at best, and unanswerable at worst, but as Freeman believe it can't hurt to pose such questions to a new generation of HD TV viewers.
Other celebrities that will be joining the 'science is cool again' bandwagon include Whoopi Goldberg who will be hosting a science-related game show, and Will Smith who will be involved with a project called 'Young Scientist Challenge.
' In the past, science programming was always seen as stuffy and dry, but with the help of mainstream actors hopefully that viewpoint can be swayed a bit in the eyes of younger viewers.
After all, such celebrities are famous for being great storytellers, which to satellite TV viewing audiences will help present the material in a relevant, interesting way.
