An extensive [http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/html/home.html online companion site] was produced to accompany the documentary. The online companion covers history of cosmology, unanswered questions and other topics related to the program. It was designed to function as both a supplement to the series and a stand-alone web piece.
