00:30From pointless ants to long-necked horse monsters, from repugnant wombats to beautiful elephants, what do the creatures want and why do they refuse to tell us?
00:43And then of course there's us, humanikind. Have you ever wondered how we got here? Wondered where we're going? Wondered about the biggest mystery of all? What is the meaning of life?
00:55Well, I haven't. But others have. For thousands of years, thinkers, artists, authors and my aunt Carol have struggled to define humankind's purpose.
01:06Is life's meaning a riddle that even can be answered? And if so, should we listen or cover our ears to avoid spoilers?
01:13In this landmark documentary special, I'll travel the globe to walk in slow motion through picturesque locations, get up close to some of the most significant molecules in existence,
01:25and meet a variety of academics, experts and professional mammals to ask some of the most significant questions you can say with a mouth.
01:34Hello, who are you?
01:34I'm Brian Cox, Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester.
01:38Can I call you Brian, or do you prefer Cox?
01:41So join me, Philomena Conk, as I uncover the point of it all.
01:46This is Conk Online!
