This episode examines this terrifying scenario by exploring the very real, and very deadly, science of volcanic activity. A team of physicists and space scientists suggests that a theoretical black hole could slam into the planet, punching a hole through it like a bullet through an apple. Earth would survive the impact, but the black hole would generate a colossal shockwave that disturbs the magma beneath every existing volcanic system.

With today's astonishing technological breakthroughs, things once thought to be science fiction are becoming much more real. Could the cutting-edge technologies we create one day rise against us and lead us to the brink of extinction? Micro Monsters examines this possible foreboding scenario by exploring the inherent dangers of one of the fastest-rising technologies of the 21st century: nanorobotics.

A scientifically grounded look at the destructive power of the most important element in human survival: water. We explore the terrifying consequences that flash floods and rising sea levels could have on global populations, as experts explain how a massive volume of water might come to earth from space, and wreak havoc once it arrives. We examine several ways we could fight the rising tide: building immense seawalls to protect entire cities, underwater habitats, and finding new ways to live on the surface of the sea. As the ground begins to vanish beneath our feet, we'd be forced to look at new ways to live on a planet that is becoming a water world – but how long can we keep our heads above water? Is there hope for mankind to survive? Our ability to adapt may be our ultimate salvation.

If a neutron star came barrelling toward Earth – threatening the survival of man and the planet itself – what would mankind do? With large scale planet evacuation our only hope, how could we create a massive spaceship – able to sustain a large population for as long as a century – that can travel at least 65 trillion kilometres? Are we capable of developing an engine strong enough to power a spaceship 25 kilometres long to a distance so great? We have no knowledge of any other planets that are supporting life. Placing the ultimate gamble on an educated guess, where in the universe do we send this ship. How do we replicate life on Earth – establishing gravity, give us air to breathe and food to eat on a journey that could last several generations? And, most importantly, who would be selected to keep the human race alive, what will be the fates of those left behind? Go with NGC on a mission to Evacuate Earth.
