Greatest Scientific Discoveries - Documentaries hosted by Bill Nye (full documentaries)

In one of my earlier posts, I wrote about how influential Bill Nye was in my early childhood.  His show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" brought a love for science into my life.  Eventually I went on and pursued a science degree and I attribute much of my passion for science to Bill Nye. 

A few years ago on the Discovery Channel, there was a short series in which Bill Nye hosted a show called 100 Greatest Discoveries.  Each show that aired was about the greatest scientific discoveries and theories found in physics, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, evolution and genetics.  I recently stumbled upon these videos on youtube and watched them again.  The shows are fantastic and educational, plus, you don't need to have a science degree to understand and appreciate just how far humans have come.  Bill Nye has a brilliant way of explaining complex topics in somewhat laymen terms for the everyday person.  Here are the videos in all of their glory:

1.  Greatest Discoveries in Physics



2.  Greatest Discoveries in Chemistry



3.  Greatest Discoveries in Medicine



4.  Greatest Discoveries in Astronomy



5.  Greatest Discoveries in Genetics



6.  Greatest Discoveries in Evolution



Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did!
