"We may only be a small island, but Britain's great scientists and inventors have literally created the modern world, from the invention of the steam engine, computers and the world-wide web, to the discovery of the theory of evolution and the atom. In a new five-part series some of Britain's leading scientific figures tell the stories of the people behind these innovations. The first programme begins 350 years ago when a small group of friends, colleagues and rivals defied everything that was known about the world at that time. Stephen Hawking and Jim Al-Khalili explain how Isaac Newton saw mathematics at the root of everything, from gravity to light."

I think if I had Hawking and Dawkins together in the same room, I could listen to them talk to them until one of us died.

Germany and Britain, two giants that defined this world

[Spandex08]

If they did made a documentary for German scientists it would be 6+ hours long.

@jhohananand It's called "Genius of Britain" numbnuts, not Genius of the World.

[jhohananand]

0:59 Did he just say the British scientist changed the world?? i.e Galileo Galilei is Italian,Albert Einstein is German,Christoper columbus is Italian,Pythagoras is from Greek island, I love science, and Hawkins as well but i won't agree this sentence sorry.

"Very pale and lean with a meager aspect, eyes grey and full with a sharp, ingenious look. His chin sharp, his forehead large..."
