Discovery Science to air Emmy nominated series

Neuroscientist Peggy Mason, Ph.D, U. of Chicago experiments with a trapped black rat and an albino rat, finding that the albino rat breaks through the color line to release the black rat from its entrapment. Mason finds this as proof of the existence of empathy as a primal instinct for all mammals.

Discovery Science’s triple Emmy- nominated hit series Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman  is back for its sixth and most provocative season.  Airing every Saturday at 10PM, starting July 4, the series will tackle tough topics as race, religion and our future as a species, and will challenge viewers as never before.  From the topics of bigotry to whether our reality is virtual to the human proclivity for lying, the new season will challenge everything you know about space, time and morality.

“I am thrilled to be announcing the premiere of the sixth season of Through the Wormhole.  When we first began this journey, I never imagined how many questions could be examined and how far mankind could push the boundaries of what was possible,” says Morgan Freeman, executive producer and host of the series. “This season, we’ve given the series a bold new look and the questions are more provocative than ever.  I know fans both old and new to the show will not be disappointed.”

Each episode features leading experts, thinkers and scientists presenting groundbreaking theories. Every week viewers will be challenged to consider new perspectives and confronted with ideas that push the envelope of conventional television.
