He was the greatest scientist of his day, perhaps of all time. But
while Isaac Newton was busy discovering the universal law of
gravitation, he was also searching out hidden meanings in the Bible
and pursuing the covert art of alchemy. In this program, NOVA
explores the strange and complex mind of Isaac Newton. Using
docudrama scenes starring Scott Handy (Masterpiece Theatre's
Henry VIII) as Newton, we recreate the unique climate of late
17th-century England, where a newfound fascination with science and
mathematics coexisted with extreme views on religious doctrine.
Newton shared both obsessions.

Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
