Sicily - S3.E4
In the second programme for Science Week that traces the origins of modern science,
Adam Hart-Davis visits southern Italy, home to the greatest scientists of the ancient world.
In Syracuse, he recreates Archimedes's famous "eureka" incident and attempts the mythical trick of burning boats with mirrors. Atop Mount Etna, he reveals how a scientist's last volcanic experiment to prove his immortality went tragically wrong.
