Big history. Defeating gravity. Episode 6
Description
"Big History" puts a sci-fi spin on history by linking iconic events to our daily lives. What if every event in history is connected? Flight takes more than wings. We need the right kind of air, the perfect materials cooked up over billions of years, and cosmic forces that are just right for us to leave the ground without tumbling off into space.
