Science is useful, but that’s not all what it is. Science can be exciting, thrilling, life-enhancing.
Originally broadcast on Britain’s Channel 4 in 1996, breaking the barrier of science follows the Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins as he meets people who have experienced the wonders of science firsthand.
We meet the astronomer who discovered pulsars, the geneticist who invented DNA fingerprinting, a scientist who discovered a protein that causes cancer, and others.
Dawkins interviews famous admirers of science such as Douglas Adams and David Attenborough, and asks them why science means so much to them. We also see how dangerous ignorance of science can be in classrooms, courts, and beyond.
With so many expressing paranormal beliefs and ignorance of science, Dawkins encourages viewers to contrast these ancient superstitions with the power and beauty of our scientific achievements and understanding.
