Roses are red, violets are blue but according to the latest understanding these colours are really an illusion. One that you create yourself. 　　Horizon reveals a surprising truth about how we all see the world. You may think a rose is red, the sky is blue and the grass is green, but it now seems that the colours you see may not always be the same as the colours I see. Your age, sex and even mood can affect how you experience colours. 　　Scientists have unlocked the hidden power that colours can have over your life - how red can make you a winner, how blue makes time speed up, and more.

当我们用红色或蓝色或黄色来描述某样东西为，我们想当然地认为其他人会理解并知道我们要表达的意思。但我们如何能确保我们有着相同的色彩体验呢？颜色仅仅是我们大脑的创造物吗？我们看到的色彩斑斓的世界是完全真实的吗？或者这与认知有关并受我们所说的语言、我们的年龄或甚至我们的国籍影响吗？本期《地平线》节目将寻找色彩对我们的意义，色盲是否有望治愈以及我们是否能扩展人类视野。

For centuries we have dreamt of reaching the centre of the Earth. Now scientists are uncovering a bizarre and alien world that lies 4,000 miles beneath our feet, unlike anything we know on the surface. It is a planet buried within the planet we know, where storms rage within a sea of white-hot metal and a giant forest of crystals make up a metal core the size of the Moon. 　　Horizon follows scientists who are conducting experiments to recreate this core within their own laboratories, with surprising results.

如果你被问到“你知道现在的时间吗”，是否会觉得这是一个太过简单的问题？看看腕上的手表，或是翻出手机，精确到分秒的时间就能被轻易知晓。然而今天，粒子物理学家布莱恩·考克斯教授也如此问到。布莱恩探访了墨西哥的古玛雅金字塔，在那里古玛雅人是靠建神殿来计时的。他惊人地发现，符合地球本身规律的“时间”，从来都不是一天24小时。那么这个我们早已习以为常的“公理”，到底是个物质周期变化的规律，还是我们对于时间和空间认知上的一种错觉呢？ 　　此次BBC地平线系列纪录片的摄制组，将跟随布莱恩教授的脚步，从时间的起点开始入手研究，走访了多个支持“弦理论”的国度，并研究了时间的极限，试图解开这个抽象概念背后的神奇奥秘。

Around the world, a new generation of astronomers are hunting for the most mysterious objects in the universe. Young stars, black holes, even other forms of life. 　　They have created a dazzling new set of super-telescopes that promise to rewrite the story of the heavens. 　　This film follows the men and women who are pushing the limits of science and engineering in some of the most extreme environments on earth. But most strikingly of all, no-one really knows what they will find out there.
