IN the 1970's the BBC aired the famous documentary, Connections\u00a0with science historian James Burke.<\/p>\n

However it has been revealed that the informative BBC series is set to make a highly-anticipated return to the streaming service Curiosity Stream. <\/p>\n
More than 45 after it's inception, a new batch of episodes with debut on 09 November as Connections with James Burke.<\/p>\n
The show was known for its innovative approach to the way it looks at the past and the future. <\/p>\n
In each episode James, 86, would interlock different facts of knowledge to prove how seemingly different ideas intertwine and have built paths forward to the present day. <\/p>\n The six-part series will cover subjects such how the French Revolution maybe behind the rise of big data. <\/p>\n Other topics include how a cup of coffee in the 18th century is somehow connected with genetic engineering of humans in the future. <\/p>\n The host will also address issues such as AI and he is set to look into how a discovery of syphilis in the French aristocracy kicked off a journey towards the nanofabricator, a machine that can build anything. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Head of Content for the streamer Rob Burk explained: "The stakes we\u2019re facing are high \u2013 AI, limitless energy, genetically-engineered superhumans \u2013 and there is no better guide through this universe of connected people and ideas than the iconic science historian\u00a0James\u00a0Burke.<\/p>\n "We are thrilled to be working, once again, with our colleagues at Bigger Bang to bring back this groundbreaking series and reimagine it for a modern age."<\/p>\n<\/picture>MAP MESS <\/span><\/p>\n
