The Day the Universe Changed, a ten-part documentary presented by British Broadcaster and science historian James Burke exploring the effects of advances in science and technology from a philosophical aspect.
The name of the documentary, which was first shown in 1985 comes from the idea that the universe only exists as one perceives it. When one learns new information about it, the universe itself has essentially changed. Beginning from the middle ages, the film looks at some of the most important discoveries about the universe in chronological order up-to-the 1980's.
