Synopsis 

Presented here in 40 episodes spanning from 1900 to the present, it is a story of exhilaration and despair. of spectacular successes and the profound challenges remaining today. It features a roll call of gret physicists, including Planck, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, Einstein, Feynman, Gell-Mann, Weinberg, Bell, Legget, and Higgs.
But centre stage is the physics itself, and the unfolding of the most beautiful and astonishing concepts the scientific world has ever seen.
