As optics improved, man began to see the solar system. Tycho Brahe in Denmark,

The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four-thousand-year journey of scientific progress.

independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler,
Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein all make appearances.
