The Ascent of Man, Episode 7: The Majestic Clockwork (Part 1)Episode 7, “The Majestic Clockwork,” follows how Newton and then Einstein tried to read the universe as a great mechanism, mapping the motions of the planets and the falling of apples into precise mathematical laws. Bronowski moves from Greenwich and the age of accurate clocks to Newton’s gravitation and Einstein’s thought experiment of riding a beam of light, showing how the clockwork cosmos of absolute space and time gives way to a relativistic world where motion, measurement, and even simultaneity depend on the observer.
