Brooks, professor of cosmology and astrophysics and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge University, is considered one of the foremost experts on this topic.

Also aimed to all those who are curious about science in general, this cycle has the participation of excellent scientists recognized nationally and internationally as Marcus du Satoy, which highlight their math documentaries on BBC, Jacques-Marie Bardintzeff, Jose Luis Sanz and many others.
