WGBH plans to produce a special NOVA series, The Fabric of the Cosmos, based on the best selling book of the same name by physicist Brian Greene. The four 60-minute television programs will be the center piece of a multimedia project that employs multiple platforms including national primetime PBS broadcast, the PBS Web site, podcasts, and an educational outreach campaign that features "Cosmic Cafes." Project goals are to: 1) enhance the public's appreciation of physics by exploring the unfinished story of space and time; 2) find innovative ways of using animation and graphics for television, the Web and on the new media platforms to explain these concepts; 3) bring challenging and exciting ideas in science to people unlikely to encounter them elsewhere by holding public events in communities across the country; and 4) forge effective collaborative partnerships with the American Institute of Physics (AIP), American Physical Society (APS), National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP), American Library Association (ALA) and others to maximize impact of the project. Multimedia Research will conduct formative evaluation and Inverness Research Associates will conduct summative evaluation.

WGBH计划根据物理学家Brian格林的同名畅销书制作一个特别的NOVA系列，宇宙的结构。 这四个60分钟的电视节目将是一个多媒体项目的中心部分，该项目采用多个平台，包括国家黄金时段PBS广播，PBS网站，播客和以“宇宙咖啡馆”为特色的教育推广活动。" 项目目标是：1）通过探索未完成的空间和时间的故事来提高公众对物理学的欣赏; 2）找到创新的方法，在电视，网络和新媒体平台上使用动画和图形来解释这些概念; 3）通过在全国各地的社区举办公共活动，为人们带来具有挑战性和令人兴奋的科学思想，这些思想在其他地方不太可能遇到他们; 4）与美国物理学会（AIP）、美国物理学会（APS）、美国黑人物理学家学会（NSBP）、美国图书馆协会（ALA）等建立有效的合作伙伴关系，以最大限度地发挥项目的影响。 多媒体研究将进行形成性评价和因弗内斯研究协会将进行总结性评价。
