TCM continues its popular Friday Night Spotlight franchise with "Science in the Movies," presenting a lineup of movies that delve into issues of scientific discovery, exploration and alteration, with some side trips into science fiction. This "Spotlight" is hosted by Dr. Sean Michael Carroll, PhD, senior research associate in the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology. Carroll, the author of such popular books as From Eternity to Here and The Particle at the End of the Universe, has contributed to a number of scientific journals and magazines, and appeared on TV shows including the History Channel's The Universe and Comedy Central's The Colbert Report.
