How Long is a Piece of String? (http://www.yourtv.com.au/program/how-long-is-a-piece-of-string/260667/)
9.30pm - 10.30pm
SBS ONE
Tonight
Comic Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string? However, what appears to be a simple task soon turns into a mind-bending voyage of discovery where nothing is as it seems. An encounter with leading mathematician Marcus du Sautoy reveals that Alan's short length of string may in fact be infinitely long.
And straight after a repeat of
The Moving Earth (http://www.yourtv.com.au/program/the-moving-earth/246413/)
(Repeat)

Tonight
This documentary looks at the theory of 1542 that the sun, not the Earth, was the centre of the universe. Polish astronomer Copernicus presented his idea about the moving Earth that year: a highly controversial notion that strongly challenged the position of the church. The program tells the story of how this new picture of the universe came into existence.
