Abstract
This is part seven of a history of the cultural evolution of man, from primitive times to the present, presented by the late Dr. Jacob Bronowski. This program concentrates on two intellectual giants, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, who brought about a totally new concept of the universe. It traces Newton's life and work, re-creating some of his experiments in his rooms at Trinity College, and then shows how his clockwork universe of mass, space and time was challenged by Einstein's theory of relativity. Following Einstein's journey on a tram through the streets of Bern, it asks the question that occurred to him: "What would the world look like if I rode on a beam of light?"
