- "Death in the Morning" examines the standardisation of precious metal with the touchstone in the ancient world. This innovation stimulated trade from Greece to Persia, ultimately causing the construction of a huge commercial center and library at Alexandria which included Ptolemy's star tables. This wealth of astronomical knowledge aided navigators during the age of discovery 14 centuries later following the introduction of lateen sails and sternpost rudders. Mariners discovered that the compass's magnetised needle did not actually point directly north. Investigations into the nature of magnetism by Gilbert led to the discovery of electricity by way of the sulphur ball of von Guericke. Further interest in atmospheric electricity at the Ben Nevis weather station led to Wilson's cloud chamber which in turn allowed development of both Watson-Watt's radar and (by way of Rutherford's insights) nuclear weaponry. Documentary Connections.

This is the best show ever conceived by human beings! I followed this when it first came out I've forgotten about it. We're on our way to see the movie: Oppenheimer which just opened yesterday, July 21 2023! Been to Nagasaki too few years ago.
Phenomenal stuff i only wish tv was this good today 👍
what a marvelous communicator he is. a brilliant bit of story telling, plucking seemingly inconsequential threads from apparently nowhere and weaving them together which then leads to a completely unexpected conclusion. terrific TV.
Watched when it first aired. It holds up very well in 2022!
😏Aaand still being enjoyed (yet _again_) in June 2024.🙂❤🏴❤️🇬🇧🙂🖖
The ending is gold
I got credit in college for watching this series. Very interesting ‼️ Thank-you James Burke
Every college student should be made to read his book and watch the series. Today college graduates are ignoramuses.
This is the BBC at its best and I remember watching this on British TV, probably in late 1970s, or early 80s. The end is particularly poiniant with what is happening in Ukraine at the moment. The sound drops out in a couple of places, but stick with it - it is well worth it.
The first time I saw it Keith, I was 17 (in 90s). It was eye-opening. Really great stuff.
It was BBC, was on PBS, when there was little cable, in about 1980.
Burke, WAS, on single shows in the 1970s that were not "connections" and the 4 seasons, began "rerun overlap" in the 1980's, then after 1990, they become hard to find. His movie about the end of man on earth, is coming true, pretty much as he says it would!!! That one is the 2 hour conclusion to the end of all his T.V. work. (He was on the internet, but, it was an e-mail site, with a history???) The "4 series" are around, so where is the documentary??? It is called: "The Day After Tomarrow." Brother James Kendall Moore OSB (OFS OSC.)
Right, connections was in the 1980s and there were 4 series. There was a movie(Documentary) "The Day After Tomarrow," that is like a calendar from 1990, to 2050!!! He not only nails everything, he uses the real tools and locations where they each took place!!! Brother James OSB
The worse of the BBC is not difficult to discover - The Burke Special, like so many other BBC programmes, was mostly destroyed through its 'wiping policy'. Cultural vandals the lot of them.
Burke is now 80, and "The Day The Universe Changed" is his last available series. (I do not know if The Day After Tomarrow was recorded). 4-19-22. Brother James OSB
BEST SERIES EVER
The last few minutes gives me the chills.
Muchas gracias por subir esto.
If you watch every one, nothing will be left out, you will understand April 18th, 2022, Easter!!! Watching this show will get you from man's start too his finish❗️
Outstanding
The audio is cutting out in places. 😪
And, he managed to make them funny!!!
Wasn‘t von Guerike the mayor of Magdeburg, not Regensburg. The vacuum experiment with the two half spheres was done in Magedeburg as well.
I think this guy was in "Carlito's Way".
I really enjoyed this series as history major, teacher, reader.👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
His regular column in Scientific American is also very good.
Audio keeps going out.
yeah, I know. Sorry. Terenzo. Copyright issues.
@ Ah! A pox on all lawyers!
He went on a swearing tirade.
Turned out to be a good thing because I found a better quality copy on the *orrents. Picture is pretty blurry on this one.
Cuando vi la camara de niebla, ya me imaginaba que pasaría al final.
Cada descubrimiento tiene que haber detrás de el
"un compromiso de moralidad y no la búsqueda de lucro o de poder" y eso no ocurre.
sound cuts out during the Elizabethan period
38:00 “the colors aren’t in the order of a rainbow, but the other way around”
So…they ARE ordered like a rainbow.
personally i would prefer a discussion about science
❤️ 😍 loved this Series but.... skipping over Viking age with the ship techniques left me disappointed .the rudder and lightweight designs changed everything
The quality of this project is unsurpassed.
What happened to the sound between 16:25 and 19:09?
Copyright
❤❤❤
Rabbit warren I think the word labyrinth has a little bit more zest.
28:29 Vacuum pump to the Dickus Pumpas d'Italia? And now the man who invented the glory hole? 😂
Isn't Türkiye still holding Europe to ransom in 2023?
I watched this guy in the 70s and 80s and did not know he was a bad guy until he brought up carbon credits for poor countries.....marxism:(
The Burke Special was superb, and like other BBC programmes of the time was wiped - four out of five series erased. I have an intense dislike of the BBC.
Pity about the crap picture quality
I remember the days you'd be stunned by how good that quality was.
