The Genius of Britain Episode 1 (Part 3/5)
Ғылым және технология
"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."

This is great dysin talked about the first vacuum in Britian.
dudes i live in the states and can't watch episode 3- the rest wtf someone upload them to a blog somewhere would much appreciate it :)
sciencey!!!
Newton the best of them all, he towers everyone in science.
Without organised religion humans would have been in space 300 years ago. Useless bronze age superstition has held mankind down for too long. We have to end superstition before it ends us.
Without religion, certain things in science would've been held back. The Islamic scholars for example during the dark ages made great strides in science (Jim Al Khalili has a good doco on this) in the pursuit of trying to understand their God. It is humans use of religion which can be bad, just as our use of science, or philosophy or almost anything else.
Boyle is cool and I'm going to let you finish, but Newton is the BEST scientist.
