The DVD and Blu-ray release of this program, which coincides with the airing of the series on PBS nationwide, contains four parts (What is Space?, The Illusion of Time, Quantum Leap and Universe or Multiverse?) that take viewers to the frontiers of physics and challenges our view of the universe and our notion of reality.

Program Synopsis
Nova: Fabric of the Cosmos lets viewers in on a secret: we've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe - that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists - just might be wrong.

Greene takes viewers on a journey to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognize - a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.
