62) Long Childhood
Description
In this final episode, Dr. Bronowski - poet, playwright, mathematician, philosopher - draws together many threads of the series. He takes stock of man's complex, sometimes precarious, ascent. Ultimately, he concludes that man's growth to self-knowledge is the longest childhood of all.
Description
In this episode, Dr. Bronowski's shares his statement on information and the responsibility and moral dilemma presented to scientists. The principle of certainty in physics applies to all knowledge, and as such Bronowski examines the implications of bombing Japan among other dilemmas. Finally, he contrasts the humanist tradition of Gottingen University with the inhumanities of Auschwitz.

Quantum mechanics gives us a picture of the world so radically counterintuitive that it has changed our perspective on reality itself. In Quantum Mechanics: The Physics of the Microscopic World, award-winning Professor Benjamin Schumacher gives you the logical tools to grasp the paradoxes and astonishing insights of this field.

In the opening scene of the documentary, the physicist Raul Baragiola speculates about time and eternity as he wonders amongst the centenaria graves at the cemetery of the University of Virginia : “Maybe there is a universe out there were all the times are possible, and all the spaces are possible, and what we don’t have is the ability to go through paths in that universe to look for different things. You can’t look for your grandfather in there...

Physics is frequently one of the hardest subjects for students to tackle because it is a combination of two of the toughest subjects for most students: Math and Word Problems. What sets this series apart from other physics teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked...
