Our distant ancestors were afraid of lightning. For a long time it was thought that lightning was sent by the gods. Nowadays electricity is part of our daily life. Without it we would feel lost...

Early in their history humans realized that they could affect nature. Controlling fire making tools and taming wild animals. What they were not given by nature they harnessed in other species.

From the mysterious megaliths in prehistory to the first hot air balloons and the construction of the Giza pyramid complex our ancestors have always observed and experimented gaining a better understanding of their World.

Join us now on a journey through the key events that have allowed us to better understand the world of microbe.

Join us on a journey through the key moments that enabled humanity to discover plastics.

Long-distance communication, moving stealthily through the dark without being detected, and observation from afar have all become commonplace. At any moment, you can know exactly where you are on the planet.

Today our understanding of energy enables us to send rockets into space. Compared to our ancestors, we have incredible power at our disposal. But what exactly is energy? Where does it come from?

Today we can run climate simulations on a global scale. We have learned to control rivers and protect ourselves from flooding. How did we achieve these feats?

From the infinitely small to the infinitely large, we have harnessed our expertise to develop incredible technologies. But have we come full circle? Let's go on a journey through the key moments that have allowed humanity to discover: quantum physics!

Today, we know that many natural phenomena are based on the laws of physics. We can forecast the weather several days in advance. But are we really sure it is possible to predict everything?

Today, in our daily lives, we use countless machines to do our hard work for us. Each of them obeying a specific program, custom written in a particular language.

We know how to handle numbers so large that all the books in the world would not be enough to contain them. Our societies are profoundly reliant on an increasingly complex equation.

Today, we are just beginning to understand what happens beneath our feet, in the heart of our planet. Tomorrow, we may be better equipped to predict and prepare for volcanic eruptions or tsunamis.
