Time Warp was a fascinating science television series that aired on Discovery Channel from 2008 to 2009. This show was hosted by Jeff Lieberman who was an MIT graduate with a degree in physics. Lieberman's keen interests in science, technology, and art made him the perfect host for this show, which sought to explain scientific concepts through experiments and demonstrations.

The premise of the show revolved around understanding the physics of everyday events through high-speed cameras that could capture images at a frame rate of up to 7,500 frames per second. Through these cameras, Lieberman and his team could look at events that were otherwise invisible to the naked eye and slow them down to a level where they could be analyzed and understood.

The series was divided into episodes that focused on different themes such as speed, strength, friction, and sound. Each episode had Lieberman and his team conducting various experiments, all of which involved high-speed filming. The show had a very futuristic feel to it, and the camera work and graphics were very cutting edge at the time. The experiments themselves were designed to be fun and exciting, but they also had a very educational component to them that made this show great for family viewing.

The experiments ranged from things like Lieberman and his team jumping off high platforms into a pool of water to analyze the physics of the impact, to firing fruits at the human face and analyzing the impact of different speeds and angles. The show took on a playful and inquisitive tone, with Lieberman being a very enthusiastic and engaging host who always tried to make sure the experiments were as fun and engaging as possible.

The show also featured a lot of great guest stars who were experts in their respective fields. These guest stars included professional athletes, stunt coordinators, and scientists, who all had something interesting to share about the physics involved in their respective fields. The chemistry between Lieberman and his guests was always great to watch, and the show managed to strike an excellent balance between entertainment and education.

Overall, Time Warp was a fantastic show that provided a unique and exciting way to learn about physics. This show was perfect for anyone who had an interest in science or just wanted to be entertained by a fun and engaging television show. The high-speed cameras used in the show were absolutely amazing, and the experiments were always fun and exciting to watch. Lieberman was an excellent host who managed to make the educational parts of the show fun and accessible to everyone watching. While the show only ran for two seasons, it was still one of the most memorable science shows of its time, and it still holds up very well today as a great example of how to make science education fun and engaging.

Time Warp is a series that ran for 2 seasons (34 episodes) between October 15, 2008 and on Discovery Channel
