[edit] Plot
In the 25th century, more precisely in the year 2484, people live in a world of peace and love. Thus, mankind is really surprised when CML (Central Brain of Mankind), the main supercomputer supervising the whole Earth, announces a upcoming disaster. It spotted a huge space object on collision course with the Earth. The impact is unavoidable, with a prediction that the significant part of the Earth will be destroyed.
But there is a hope. Professor Filip, biographer of the greatest physicist ever: Adam Bernau, offers a plan to save mankind - time travel to the past. Adam Bernau was a genius mathematician and physicist of the 20th and 21th century, holder of the Nobel prize. In his memoirs, Bernau stated that in his childhood, he wrote down into his notebook a short formula that would allow moving whole continents, worlds and planets. That would save the Earth.
Professor Bernau selects a four-member team for the travel and their expedition shall begin. The expedition is planned to spend just a couple of minutes in the past, but something goes wrong and they are forced to spend several weeks in the past.
[edit] Reception
The series has been released in several other European countries, including Germany, Poland, Romania.
The widow of the real professor Filip sued the creators of the series for profanation of her husband's name. She won and the main character had to be renamed to professor Richard. This has caused the lower quality of sound in the whole series.
