    For the physics interested individual in the 21st century *this clip is an absolute gem of history*. I will even go so far as to say that it may be one of the most important "popular technology" related videos of the last century. Not only does it open with what has to be one of the first tv appearances of the living legend James Burke himself (of Connections fame), but moves on to show in loving detail how Ray Davis Jr. collected his "little bottles of nothing" as his wife called them, which would earn him the 2003 Nobel in physics for the discovery of neutrino flavor oscillation (the sun's core temperature isn't a million degrees cooler than theory predicted after all, but rather a third of the neutrinos are 'disappearing' on their way to us from the sun). And on top of all of that, at the end we see what has to be the very first light emitting diode numeric display ever created using hand crafted red GaAsP diodes built at "wafer scale" directly on little slabs of hand cut GaAs. A technology that now, 50 years later in the form of gallium nitride, is the dominant lighting technology set to take over all other forms of lighting throughout the world. Absolutely incredible.

      I know very little about this stuff, watching the video I was confused as to how they knew this stuff and why they were doing what they were.
      At the end when I saw the LED display it blew my mind, more than them using neutrinos from the sun and how the heck they knew they were there a mile underground. And that they could tell the temperature of the centre of the sun from them lol, even though it turns out it was not accurate.

      I can't believe they're doing all of that stuff *by hand*! Also I'm pretty sure those are dynamic scattering mode displays, which really sucked compared to later TN LCDs. High drive voltage, low contrast, high power consumption, and short operating life. I doubt any working displays survive.
      Twisted nematic LCDs were invented about a year later and they're everything DSM was not - low voltage, low power, high contrast, high reliability. DSM got dropped pretty quick.

    Really eye-opening mixture of conjecture/science/engineering. How many people, (especially youngsters) would have watched this on prime time TV (there wasn't much else to watch), then been inspired to find out more. Some of these viewers would go on to study then work, developing more amazing things. The BBC is in a unique position to create and broadcast a lot more content like this today... where the hell is it? We need a whole lot more high quality science/engineering content like this. I like how this mixes broad themes and really specific detailed content too. It's proper broadcasting and most viewers would take away from this something they didn't know about before.

      Do you notice how everything is connected by cords? I guess they didn't quite foresee "wireless" in 1969. lol

      Amazing how ingenious all this technology is despite it's crudeness at the time. I mean, we're talking about a simple LED light display. They were throwing around numbers like "100 quid" for a single billet. Months of prep time. Chemical baths. High temp curing. All to create something that comes in devices we would now use once and throw away. Amazing.

    I once bought a book that listed all the major predictions for the future, from the previous 150 years. Only 8% were anywhere near accurate. Some were hysterically funny. REMEMBER--it was the boss of IBM--who,in 1946 said, there will only be a need for one large computer.

    He'd be blown away if these people were time warped to 2016 with today's smart devices and Internet. When they went back to 1969 they'd laugh at them and smash them up and invent cryostasis and await the future.
