Light Fantastic explores the phenomenon that surrounds and affects nearly every aspect of our lives but one which we take for granted - light.
Reader in History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge, Simon Schaffer presents the four-part series, Light Fantastic.
Part 1: Let There be Light
Part 2: The Light of Reason
Part 3: The Stuff of Light
Part 4: Light, The Universe and Everything
Part 1: Let There be Light Recorded: Monday 7 August 2006 1.50am-2.50am
Quote:
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.
Part 2: The Light of Reason Recorded: Tuesday 8 August 2am-3am
Quote:
The second programme explores the link between the development of practical tools that manipulate light and the emergence of new ideas. For example, Galileo's observation that the sun did not go around the earth, was made with a telescope that had been invented for Venetian soldiers and traders
Part 3: The Stuff of Light Recorded: Wednesday 9 August 2am-3am
Quote:
Episode three charts the discovery of the true nature of light and its impact on the modern world. All of today's technologies - electricity, mobile communications and our ability to illuminate the world 24 hours a day - stem from unravelling the mystery of light.
Part 4: Light, The Universe and Everything Recorded: Thursday 10 August 2am-3am
Quote:
In the final programme Simon Schaffer finds that as more people were able to manipulate light, the more puzzling and tricky it became. This led to investigations into the strange relationship between light, the eye and the mind, and the development of new technology such as photography and cinema.
