Newton's Dark Secrets
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/newton/

Last minute notice for those in the USA. PBS is to rebroadcast Newton's Dark Secrets at 8pm on 05/01. If you miss it check your local listings. I'm sure you can catch it at other times this week.

Yes I saw that a few months ago when it first premiered. Very intriguing.

I watched it when it first came out back in '2005ish, and just saw it again. He does sound pretty AS-y, doesn't he? Either way, he's astoundingly brilliant.

I mean who INVENTS CALCULUS, and then just leaves it in a drawer somewhere?!? 8O
And that was just one of a bunch of other astounding breakthroughs he had.
