Can the Cosmos Reveal Our Purpose?

This documentary follows physicist and author Alan Lightman as he asks whether the cosmos can reveal any sense of purpose. It weighs the discoveries of modern science against the human need for meaning, traveling from the subatomic to the galactic. The film keeps its questions open, inviting viewers to sit with the mystery rather than resolve it. It is an absorbing watch for anyone interested in cosmology, philosophy, and our search for purpose in the universe. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
