ShortSummary	The opener of the series illuminates how the stunning diversity of shapes in our world are forged by just a handful of natural forces. The episode sets off in Penedès, Spain, featuring castells, which are human towers built in festivals in Catalonia. Brian narrates how a symmetrical shape enables the participants of the Catalan festival to build a human tower as high as possible. Then, the programme brings to fore the perilous honey hunting practiced in the lower slopes of Annapurna in Nepal to explain – through the Honeycomb conjecture – the unmatchable efficiency of hexagonal structures bees build to store honey. Finally, Brian demonstrates how all of the fundamental physics that describe the universe – gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear force, and symmetry – can be observed in the falling and structure of a snowflake. (en) The final episode sees Brian reveal the colour signature of our life-supporting planet. (en) The third part provides an overview of how Earth's basic ingredients have become the building blocks of life. (en) In the second episode, Brian considers the nature of motion and explores how the celestial clockwork of the Sun and the Earth-Moon system account for a wide range of natural phenomena observed on Earth, from tropical cyclones and tidal waves to sunrises and seasonal changes. The episode begins in Warton Aerodrome in England with Brian taking to the air in a Eurofighter Typhoon, in an attempt to "beat the Earth's rotation and reverse the passage of the day." In Tacloban, Philippines, Brian narrates how the Coriolis force and the warmth of the tropical waters conspire to give rise to some of the deadliest storms in the world, like Typhoon Haiyan that hit the country in 2013. Then, in Amapá, Brazil, he relates how the complex gravitational interaction between the Sun and the Moon are not just responsive for the gentle and familiar rise and fall of tides, but also for monstrous tidal bores, like the Pororoca on the waters of the Amazon. Towards the end, he lays out photographs from different points in his life – as a baby, getting married, with his own son, etc. – and concludes by stating that "if Einstein is right, then the past events we remember and our unforeseen future are all out there, somewhere in spacetime."
