Science is an ongoing search for truth—a perpetual struggle to discover how the universe works that goes back to the earliest

civilizations Driven by human curiosity, it has relied on reasoning, observation, and experiment The best known of the ancient Greek philosophers, Aristotle, wrote widely on scientific subjects and laid foundations for much of the work that has followed He was a good observer of nature, but he relied entirely on thought and argument,

and did no experiments As a result, he got a number of things

wrong He asserted that big objects fall faster than little ones, for

example, and that if one object had twice the weight of another, it would fall twice as fast Although this is mistaken, no one doubted it until the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei disproved the idea in

1590 While it may seem obvious today that a good scientist must rely on empirical evidence, this was not

always apparent

Movies are so much a part of today’s culture that it is hard to

imagine a time when they weren’t there at all It’s hard, too, to appreciate the awe felt by the public of the 1890s at seeing moving pictures for the first time, as ghostly figures came to life before their

eyes From a 21st-century viewpoint, however,the real shock is how far those “movies” changed in the next three decades—quickly evolving into gorgeously vivid feature movies

Magic on screen

For the early filmmakers, there were no masters to learn from Some had a background in theater, others in photography Either way, they were breaking new ground, and none more so than Georges Melises As soon as this sometime magician

had begun entertaining the French public with movies, he looked for ways to make them more splendid and spectacular In America, too,

visionaries were at work There, cinema thrived thanks to the likes

of Edwin S Porter, a former electrician who ended his 1903 feature The Great Train Robbery with a gunman turning toward the camera and appearing to fire at the audience Other filmmakers had grander plans A few years later, Porter was approached by a fledgling playwright who hoped to sell him a script Porter turned down the script, but hired the young man as an actor—and that same young man, the gifted and still controversial D W Griffith, later become a director himself, helping to father the modern blockbuster

Movies as art

Although the pioneers clustered in France and America, it was in Germany that the movies first became art In the aftermath of World War I, a country mired in political and economic chaos gave rise to a string of masterpieces whose influence still echoes today The silent era was filled with some of the most glorious, pristine filmmaking that cinema would ever know: the works of Robert Wiene, F W Murnau, and Fritz Lang Yet even then, it wasn’t just directors who deserved the credit—take the giant Karl Freund, a huge man with an equally vast knowledge of cameras, who would become a master cinematographer, strapping the camera to his body and setting it on bicycles to revolutionize how a movie could look Painters were also drawn to the screen, and in 1929, the famed Surrealist Salvador Dali worked with a young movie fanatic named Luis Bunuel on the eternally strange Un Chien Andalou; Dali then stepped away from movies, but Bunuel continued making iconoclastic movies into the 1970s There were revolutionaries of the political kind, too In the Soviet Union, cinema was embraced as the art form of the people Movies became key to the global battle for hearts and minds
