The show is centered on on-camera conversations with leading scientists, philosophers, theologians, and scholars, covering a diverse range of topics or questions, from the cause, size and nature of the universe (or multiverse), to the mystery of consciousness and the notion of free will, to the existence and essence of God, to the mystery of existence (i.e., why there is anything at all).[5][6][7]
The Closer to Truth website features extensive conversations in addition to those that have been broadcast on TV (approximately 4,000 videos).[8] It is the world's largest archive of video interviews with leading experts in the philosophy of cosmology and physics, consciousness, and the philosophy of religion. Kuhn's presentation, Asking Ultimate Questions,[9] is the foundation of Closer To Truth.
