How Long is a Piece of String?

Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string?

Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string? But what appears to be a simple task soon turns into a mind-bending voyage of discovery where nothing is as it seems.

An encounter with leading mathematician Marcus du Sautoy reveals that Alan’s short length of string may in fact be infinitely long. When Alan attempts to measure his string at the atomic scale, events take an even stranger turn. Not only do objects appear … Ler mais

Pythagoras

This Documentary describes Pythagoras. It was produced by Cromwell Productions in 1996.

This Documentary describes Pythagoras. It was produced by Cromwell Productions in 1996.

Pythagoras (fl. 530 BCE) must have been one of the world’s greatest men, but he wrote nothing, and it is hard to say how much of the doctrine we know as Pythagorean is due to the founder of the society and how much is later development.

It is also hard to say how much of what we are told about the life of Pythagoras is trustworthy; for a … Ler mais

A Vida Secreta do Caos

O Professor Jim Al-Khalili tenta descobrir um dos grandes mistérios da ciência

A teoria do caos tem um mau nome, evocando imagens de clima imprevisível, falhas económicas e ciência errada. Mas há um lado fascinante e escondido do Caos, que os cientistas só agora começam a entender.

Acontece que a teoria do caos responde a uma pergunta que a humanidade tem feito durante milénios – Como chegámos aqui?

Neste documentário, o Professor Jim Al-Khalili tenta descobrir um dos grandes mistérios da ciência – como é que um universo que começa por ser … Ler mais

A Brilliant Madness

The life of the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician and schizophrenic John Nash

A Brilliant Madness is the story of a mathematical genius whose career was cut short by a descent into madness. At the age of 30, John Nash, a stunningly original and famously eccentric MIT mathematician, suddenly began claiming that aliens were communicating with him and that he was a special messenger. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Nash spent the next three decades in and out of mental hospitals, all but forgotten.

During that time, a proof he had written at … Ler mais
