Greek and Arab scholars, and later Europeans such as Descartes and Newton all tried to understand light to gain a better understanding of God. Episode one shows how much of modern science's origins came from the desire to penetrate the divine nature of light.

  • top doc :) bbmix thank you

  • @Cam2016 It's as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.

  • 9:59?

  • I'm not sure if i believe this doco on that point.

  • I have a cunning plan.

  • how completely stupid could people have been to believe that light comes from the eyes.. wouldn't the first time the sun goes down, and everything goes dark, give you a clue that the light wasn't coming from your eyes? Or how bout the first time you light a candle or a torch...and when you stand in front of it, you can see a shadow because you're clearly standing in front of the light SOURCE... so stupid..

  • Amazing post. I sometimes imagine what the world would be like if the records and writings of hundreds of cultures weren't destroyed.
