Summary:
"Big History" puts a sci-fi spin on history by linking iconic events to our daily lives. What if every event in history is connected? This episode asks why mankind is gold crazy, and discovers there's a hard-wired reason we lust after it, and a microscopic explanation for why it shines. We reveal how the science behind our favorite metal drives men across oceans and continents.
