The Story of Science plot
The six-part documentary 'The Story Of Science: Power, Proof and Passion', presented by Michael J. Mosley, is about the evolution of scientific understanding in humans. It tells the story of the forces that came together to create scientific knowledge; the practicalities of making instruments and machines, but also the great forces of history, such as revolutions, voyages of discovery and artistic movements, and the determination of scientists and researchers. This is the story of how scientific ideas have shaped the modern world and how science has influenced history. For 3000 years, humans have wrestled with the great questions of existence. What is beyond what we can see directly, what is the world made of and where do we come from?
