| The subjects were chosen according to criteria which took into account the more frequent doubts of the public and also the possibility to adapt these concepts to TV language. Professor Ernest Wolfgang Hamburger, director of Estacao Ciencia (Scientific Station) and creator of the series states that the work started with a list of 20 items, from which ten were selected for this series. All the themes focus on the major human questions which have been motivating the scientific developments for centuries and involve the notions of time and space, besides the perception we have about ourselves. They are the following: Where is the sky? Where do we live? What size are we? What is a black hole? What are we made up of? How long does a life last? How long does a minute last? Are time and space always the same? What is the universe made up of? What comes from the sky?
