This exceptional compendium of 20th-century physics brings together the top scientists at the cutting edge of their science—Roger Penrose, Benoit Mandelbrot, Murray Gell-Mann, Stephen Hawking—as well as archival footage of the earlier physicists, from Mach to Bohr to Feynman. With the simplicity engendered by truly staggering intelligence, they make understandable the most complex theories, aided by blackboard illustrations and computer graphics. From the indefinably small to the indefinably large, from chaos to organization, from void to living matter, these programs provide an index and a clear insight into the state of physics in the 1990s. 8-part series, 26 minutes each.
