The history of science is often seen as a story of advancement but
nothing could be further from the truth. Science, it is true, has
progressed, but rarely in the direction intended and seldom for the
reasons given. This has a lot to do with the people responsible.
Meet Thales, credited as 'the father of science', whose only real
claim to fame is that he often fell into ditches, discover how
Archimedes never said Eureka and hated baths anyway and how the
most lucrative ancient Greek invention was not democracy but the
slot machine. Justin Pollard also fills us in on Issac Newton who
liked to disguise himself and lurk in London's less salubrious
pubs, how eleven people claimed to have invented the steam engine
and why the first website was twelve foot across and made of wood.
