The Story of Science: Power, Proof and Passion<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a 2010\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0documentary on the\u00a0history of science<\/a>\u00a0presented by\u00a0Michael Mosley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For thousands of years we have wrestled with the great questions of existence. Who are we? What is the world made of? How did we get here? The quest to answer these is the story of science.<\/p>\n

Each week, medical journalist Michael Mosley traces the often unpredictable path we have taken. From recreating a famous alchemist\u2019s experiment, to following in Galileo\u2019s footsteps, and putting himself in the hands of a hypnotist, Michael unpicks how science has changed the way we see ourselves, and the way we see our world.<\/p>\n

It is a tale of courage and of fear, of hope and disaster, of persistence and success. It interweaves great forces of history \u2013 revolutions, voyages of discovery and artistic movements \u2013 with practical, ingenious inventions and the dogged determination of experimenters and scientists.<\/p>\n

This is the story of how history made science and how science made history, and how the ideas which emerged made the modern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
