Worlds Without End: Changing Knowledge, Changing Reality

In a barn on a Scottish hillside some time around 1600, a woman has been tortured by elders of the church. Their logic now demands that she should pay a final terrible penalty. They know there's no alternative. We know that their decision is barbaric. Not only that but we know that we are right and they are wrong.

But how are we so sure? The final programme of the series asks why we assume that in science we have the first objective version of the truth. Is our truth really 'better' than any other? And if it's not, is knowledge only what we make it? Is all discovery really invention?
