Brilliant Minds

They scorned conventional wisdom and, over a period of 400 years, each conceived a radical new vision of the cosmos. Join the Science Channel as we get to know four of the world's greatest physicists: Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. We'll uncover the secrets of their minds that allowed them to think the unthinkable. These rebels and misfits dared to unlock mysteries of the cosmos that radically overturned our vision of the universe. What were these brilliant men really like? What shaped their minds to be able to reveal the seemingly impossible? Brilliant Minds will inspire you to think a little harder and thank these minds for pushing the limits. What will be the biggest breakthrough of the next 50 years? As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations we asked over 70 of the world's most brilliant scientists for their ideas. In coming decades will we: discover that we are not alone in the universe? Unravel the physiological basis for consciousness? Routinely have false memories implanted in our minds? Begin to evolve in new directions? And will physicists finally hit upon a universal theory of everything? In fact, if the revelations of the last 50 years are anything to go on - the internet and the human genome for example - we probably have not even thought up the exciting advances that lay ahead of us.
