Taste is our most indulgent sense but it is only in recent years that we have started to understand why we really love the foods we do - and it is a lot more surprising than you might think. 　　There may a way to make food taste sweeter without adding any extra sugar and it is all down to a trick that happens in your brain. Horizon meets the scientist who has grown the perfect tomato, that is sweeter and juicier than anything you are likely to find on a shelf, as well as the men and women hoping to become elite, professional tasters.

味觉是我们最放纵的感觉，然而仅仅在过去几年中我们才逐渐开始理解为什么我们喜爱某些食物，而且其中的道理一定会让你大吃一惊，甚至有一种方法可以无须添加糖份而通过操纵你的大脑来使食物吃起来更甜。“地平线”节目组走访了一位种植出了最完美的番茄（比市面上的任何一种都要更甜、有更多的水分）的科学家，也拜访那些希望成为专业品尝师的人们。

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。
