The DVD set will be here in a week! CAN'T WAIT!! :haz: :haz:

 

A fantastic documentary series on human scientific progress and how it literally changed the way we see Life, the Universe, and Everything.

 

Amazing that it's been THIRTY YEARS since it was first broadcast.....and it's all still relevant to our world today.

I'm going to get a :bitchslap: for this, but I had to Google it.

 

No :bitchslap: from me! The documentary is 30 years old. It's not a surprise that some people don't know of it.

 

James Burke did several excellent series back in the day: Connections (1978), The Day The Universe Changed (1985), Connections2 (1994), and Connections3 (1997). If you're into the history of science, then you'll really dig these series. They really help us make sense of the world.....and that's no easy task!! :D

Is it really good? Should I buy it even though I know nothing about it? :)

I wouldn't do that. It cost $90.00 at Amazon.com (10 episodes in a 5-disc set).

 

YouTube has several excerpts and full episodes you can check out. I think it's GREAT, but others may find it boring.

 

Here is Episode 10 - the Concluding Episode:
