Dangerous Knowledge
BBC 4 10.05pm 8th August ‘07

In the last hundred years, only a handful of mathematicians and physicists have lifted the veil and seen the matrix of pure mathematics which describe the universe as it really is.

The film is about how a small group of the most brilliant minds unravelled our old cosy certainties about maths and the universe. It is also about how, once they had looked at these problems they could not look away, and pursued the questions to the brink of insanity and then over it to madness and suicide.
