“Belief” explores “humankind’s ongoing search to connect with something greater than ourselves,” according to the series’ website.
“It is an absolutely beautiful, broad-ranging, and open-minded exploration of the human urge to believe,” says Gleiser, the Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
