A tiny promotional film by Lovebot Productions, The Theory Of Everything is a great little promotional piece that’ll leave you smarter, happier and, perhaps for many, more optimistic. Professor Hugo Ellis is a fantastically, contagiously enthusiastic senior research astrophysicist, whose work has led him 4,000 miles above sea level, 100 miles from any town or community, to the Querido Observatory in Chile, and it is here, away from everything, that he has discovered the very thing that keeps us together; the very thing that gives everything, from cheese to encircling universes, meaning. Amusing and moving, the film leaves you accidentally educated. It is a brief marriage between an educational high school science film about cosmology and particle physics and a Christmas special, akin to a clip from Love Actually or the like, that leaves you feeling small in the greatest possible way.

So what is this theory that explains everything so simply and succinctly? Well, needless to say, you’ll have to watch the film, which at five minutes fifteen seconds long isn’t asking much and can be found for free here. And whilst Professor Ellis states that, “generally speaking, Star Wars is not a good reference for planetary physics” the reference he concludes with is equally universal in its appeal and importance…perhaps even a little more so. D’awww.

Watch it when you wake up, and even if you aren’t the sentimental type, I guarantee the sun will shine a little brighter because of it. Even if those at the Querido Observatory with their gigantic telescope and beautiful research assistants say otherwise.
