Life, The Universe and Everything

Surely with the clock ticking on this planet of ours, the most pressing questions we have to answer involve alien life and how we get involved with some new planetary habitation. Vital to our continued existence in many important minds.
As ever, TED.com delivers when it comes to answering these mind-blowing questions. Brian Cox is a physicist with broad appeal, who is also working on the largest scientific experiment ever attempted: the Large Hadron Collider. In trying to recreate the Big Bang, 10,000 scientists/engineers from 85 countries want to understand how we, the planets and the universe all came about. By doing this we will get closer to figuring out how we can evolve into space.
One of his more well-known colleagues, Stephen Hawking, gives some pretty blunt answers to alien life and our place amongst all this science and space talk. The Large Hadron Collider experiment will also go some way to proving, or dis-proving, his well-documented theories on the Big Bang.
You may want a quiet, dark room for taking on board some of this stuff, but its definitely worth the brain time.
