Tiny Revolutions: Small Ideas That Changed the World
The Matchstick - A Spark That Changed Everything
This episode explores how the humble matchstick transformed humanity’s relationship with fire. For most of history, creating fire required skill, time, and effort using flint, steel, or preserved embers. Fire was precious and often difficult to replace once lost.In 1826, English chemist John Walker accidentally invented the first practical friction match after a chemical-coated stick ignited when scraped against a rough surface. Although early matches were unreliable and dangerous, they introduced a revolutionary idea: portable, instant fire.As matches spread, manufacturers used white phosphorus to improve ignition, but this led to severe health consequences fo...

1.3.13 No Belief
This remark was made, in these very words, by John Gribbin, physics editor of New Scientist magazine, in a BBC-TV debate with Malcolm Muggeridge, and it provoked incredulity on the part of most viewers. It seems to be a hangover of the medieval Catholic era that causes most people, even the educated, to think that everybody must "believe" something or other, that if one is not a theist, one must be a dogmatic atheist, and if one does not think Capitalism is perfect, one must believe fervently in Socialism, and if one does not have blind faith in X...

Amazon fires, Royal Society Book Prize shortlist announced, John Gribben on quantum physics
Satellite data has shown an 85% increase in the number of fires across Brazil this year. There are more than 2,500 fires active across the Amazon region. This represents the most active number of fires since 2010. The increase in fires has been attributed to deliberate deforestation and clearing for agriculture or mining. The new president of Brazil, Jair Bolsanaro, supports the commercialisation of the Amazon forest and this is said to have encouraged the wide scale burning.

Aunque de todas maneras desde siempre hemos tenido la sensación de que éramos especiales. Cuando se descubrió que la Tierra era un planeta, pensamos que era un planeta especial y que el Sol también era una estrella especial. Con el tiempo, los astrónomos aprendieron que el Sol era una estrella vulgar, pero aún mantenían la esperanza de que la Vía Láctea fuese un lugar especial, ya que estaba fo...

Our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across, is shaped like a fried egg and we travel inside it at approximately 220 kilometres per second. The nearest one to us is much smaller and is nicknamed the Sagittarius Dwarf. But the one down the road, called Andromeda, is just as large as ours and, in 10 billion years, we'll probably crash into it.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the origin of the concept and historical role of the scientist.

For some, "the scientist" does not truly appear until after the Renaissance, others put its emergence much later than that.

The Scientist
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the origin of the concept and historical role of the scientist. The word "science" first appeared in the English language in 1340 and ever since its meaning has been in a state of flux. The notion of "the scientist" has had a similarly evolving history. For some, "the scientist" does not truly appear until after the Renaissance, others put its emergence much later than that. When did the words and concepts we recognise today take on their contemporary meaning? How has the role of the scientist, and our understanding of it, changed? Has science always...

Nuclear Physics
Melvyn Bragg examines one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century, and certainly the most controversial; the development of nuclear physics. Harnessing the enigmatic qualities of the atom’s tiny core brought us nuclear power and gave us The Bomb, a breakthrough with such far-reaching consequences that it moved the physicist Albert Einstein to say, “Had I known, I should have become a watch maker”.How can such outlandish power be released from such infinitesimal amounts of matter and what does the science of the nucleus tell us about how our universe is built? Nuclear technology provokes strong...

Quantum Gravity
Melvyn Bragg examines Quantum Gravity. Early in the 20th century physicists were startled by the realisation that the smallest things in the universe do not obey Newton’s laws of gravity. Ripe apples fall from trees, billiard balls roll mostly on the table and the moon orbits the Earth in thrall to its gravitational pull, but there is no such force of gravity at work in the world of very small things. It seems there is one set of rules for the realm of every day objects, and a very different set of laws for the quantum world - wh...

Science in the 20th century
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss how perceptions of science and the power of science have changed in the 20th century. Does scientific endeavour increasingly concern itself with doubt rather than certainty, and is it coming any closer to integrating with other disciplines - philosophy or the social sciences? How much does the scientific explanation of the world owe to a wish for coherent understanding we all have, rather than objective observation, and why are we alternately disapproving of, then obsessively over-enthusiastic about new scientific theories? How far has specialisation in the sciences obscured our view of the world in...
