bascule Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Part 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8492625684649921614# Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1663091361786740235# Dangerous Knowledge is a documentary about the lives of four mathematicians/scientists: Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel, and Alan Turing. The central theme is one of the discovery of the undiscoverable, and being driven mad by it. For example, Cantor was almost driven mad by his continuum hypothesis. Later Gödel attempted to prove the continuum hypothesis himself, and almost went mad trying to before managing to prove it unprovable. All in all it's a very good program and I highly suggest you watch it. Edited November 10, 2009 by bascule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
