Principled Man Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 http://www.turkcealtyazi.org/images/poster/0199208.jpg 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm going to get a for this, but I had to Google it. No 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
