Uranium - Twisting the Dragon's Tail

The story of Uranium is part science, part history, and all epic adventure. It's a journey through place and time, around the most dangerous and wondrous rock on Earth.

Born violently in the collapse of a star long ago, Uranium is woven throughout the fabric of Earth. It has properties like no other rock: the element spits energy which can transform DNA, shaping the very nature of what it means to be human. Once considered worthless, this rock has become the most desirable, most expensive, and most feared substances in the world. And on a warming planet with limited fossil fuel, uranium may transform once again - into our savior.

Uranium: Twisting the Dragon's Tale is an action-packed journey to explore the most dangerous, wondrous, and controversial rock on Earth. Join physicist Dr. Derek Muller, creator of YouTube channel Veritasium, as he travels to Russia, Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia to explore the vast world of this fascinating element. .

Review by Kathy I. review stating Very well done
Better than a physics class in understanding the history and science of the elements of atomic energy.The subject was presented in a clear and interesring manner. I think every parent of a teenager or child interested in science should see this show. Actually I hope lots of people watch and will make sure my library adds it to their collection.
