      Light. It is something in which we take for granted, something that until we lose power during a storm we don’t fully realize how much we depend on it. This fascinating documentary examines the phenomenon surrounding light. Separated into four informative episodes Light Fantastic covers all aspects of this energy.

      The first of four episodes explores the vast amount of modern science that came from the desire to penetrate the divine nature of light. It shows viewers how Arab and Greek scholars, as well as Europeans Newton and Descartes all tried to use light to gain a better understanding of God.

      The second episode investigates the link between new ideas and the creation of practical tools that are used to manipulate light. A great example of this is how Galileo used a telescope that had been developed for Venetian soldiers and traders to observe that the sun did not actually go around the earth. The next episode chronicles the discovery of true nature of light and how it impacts the modern world.

      The fourth and final episode examines how light becomes more and more puzzling and more people become able to manipulate it. This has led to examinations of the relationship between light, the eye and the mind. This examined through the development of new technology like cinema and photography. Explore light with this fascinating documentary Light Fantastic.

      The British may not have eatable food, but man do they know how to make documentaries. ;-)

    • Documentary Log

      Agreed. Also, I really wish I could dedicate more of my time to this website and posting documentaries. College is keeping me awfully busy. I hope you all have liked it so far :)

      I wish more people would know about this site! This documentary is really interesting. I like the way how narrator tells the story (with sheer fascination)!

      @DocLog:
      Hey, I think you're doing pretty well. :-) Best site I've found so far.

      In addition, if you ever allow something to distract you from posting documentaries ;-), which is hardly imaginable…. ;-)
      … it should be college / education.

      What I mean by that is, I don't mind to wait between documentaries.

      :-)

      Another addition: I just realized I may have picked up more interesting (!) knowledge here than I my entire school time…
      … is that a good thing? :-)

      i couldn't count how many documentaries i've watched on the topic of science, particularly physics & cosmology (& many of them logged on this site), both contemporary & historical, but this Light Fantastic set has taught me things i still didn't know about a host of well known scientists/physicists, by looking at their collective work from one underlying perspective – light. fascinating & magnificent, the Brits indeed do make great documentaries :)

      The christians sure do seem to fund a whole lot of documentaries aimed at confusing science with religion.

      ohya ive seen it many times it makes good historical entertainment. hieracy is an uncomfortable subject to those who benefit from the old models and those who dont actually think but memorise and just follow

      A truly fantastic, outstanding and engaging documentary, ‘Light Fantastic’. I can watch this documentary over and over again and is amazing. Tremendous visuals, background score and narration. I am currently a Television Production student in Dublin.
