The Story Of Science
For three thousand years, humanity has pursued the great questions. What’s out there? What is the world made of? How did we get here? Can we have unlimited power? What is the secret of life? Who are we? But it is the epic story of how we’ve answered these questions that makes up the story of science.
It is the story of the astronomer who lost his nose in a duel then helped create a new vision of the Cosmos. The alchemist who tried to make gold from human urine, who set us on the course to modern chemistry. The Irish doctor who found a recipe for hot chocolate and went on to help to explain the diversity of the natural world.
We’ve been told often enough that the story of science is peppered with eccentric characters and eureka moments like these but there is another side to the story of science that is far less often considered – the connections between great historical events, technological developments and brilliant minds that have shaped the evolution of the world’s scientific understanding.
In this landmark six-part series, Michael Mosley (Blood and Guts) takes us on an informative and ambitious journey that explores how the evolution of scientific understanding is intimately interwoven with that of society’s historical path.
An insightful series packed full of surprising facts and unexpected connections, this is the ultimate story of how history shaped science, and science made history.
