This is the final "The Beginning of Infinity" episode.
I must say: the Youtube version of this contains many useful videos and images to help with what is being described and explained. 
 
Either way: Enjoy! (And rest assured "The Science of Can and Can't" and "The Fabric of Reality" episodes will continue to come out weekly. This is not the end, but "The Beginning").
