I am very please with the DVD and the service. I will buy from them again.

Great video, I use it for my physics class. It covers Newton's life as well as his work with forces, and gravity.
Rating:  -
This was an excellent documentary about Newton, his life, and some of his great accomplishments. The title is perhaps a bit misleading as there are no "dark secrets" revealed in the film. Less emphasis of Newton's involvement in alchemy would have been preferable, but overall it was interesting and very well produced.
Rating: -
"Newton's Dark Secrets" mostly tells the story of Newton's development of calculus and basic physics principles. As for his "dark secrets," most of that is termed "alchemy" in the program, but actually appears to be early chemistry. The program also states that Newton, while very religious, did not believe Christ was on an equal level of God, and that believing such violated the First Commandment.
Bottom Line: Newton was an incredible person, and I wish the program had been longer and able to go into his life in greater detail.

I learned more about Newton than I ever did in school...
1. You'll learn more about Newton's personality and see him as a real person.
2. You'll learn about his passion for alchemy and search for meaning.
3. You'll learn about his almost fanatical obsession with knowledge.
4. You'll see great animations and graphics that explain his laws of motion and gravity.
5. You'll witness his dramatic encounters with other scientists, such as Robert Hooke.
6. You'll learn more about how he worked and developed the Principia and Opticks, amongst his other experiments.
7. You'll enjoy the acting and pacing of this entertaining and educational movie.
