Notes

This is a PBS show, and the source was kinda crappy. We made this look as good as
possible, but there are still some parts with single dropped frames and other parts
with slight blending. Nothing that you can really notice on playback though.

Summary

Join Steven Johnson and consider how the invention of the mirror spurred on the
Renaissance, how glass lenses allow us to reveal worlds within worlds and how, deep
beneath the ocean, glass is essential to communication. Johnson learns about the
daring exploits of glassmakers who were forced to work under threat of the death
penalty, a physics teacher who liked to fire molten glass from a crossbow and a
scientist whose tinkering with a glass lens allowed 600 million people to see a man
set foot on the moon. The link between the worlds of art, science, astronomy,
disease prevention and global communication starts with the little-known maverick
innovators of glass.
