Science is very often being in the right place at the right time. I was at a conference in 1995 and a 1hr presentation was tacked onto the end at the last minute. Halfway through, I looked at my colleague and said, "this changes everything." It turned that our years of mocking how animators showed brain cells working was actually correct on their part (albeit w/o evidence from them). The big advances often come from not getting the expected results.

ah, the good ol'luck. Always rearing itself and rubbing in our faces the unpleasant truth that we are not special, nor geniuses. Our discoveries are a result of being in the right place, at the right time. That's all. Our insignificance is demonstrated by the fact that our discoveries would've turned out by someone else, if we do not have to fight it out right at publishing time.
If not that, luck forces us to cave in to the weight of the facts, and concede that what we antagonize was actually right. Science is merciless, ungrateful, indifferent, and unpredictable (at least for the majority, some guys, including James Burke, seem to know this mistress quite well).
This reminds me of this very interesting series.

I downloaded the Connections series a while back but I feel they were cut to US broadcast length, are these versions also 44ish minutes long?

1st series are around 60min. 2nd and 3rd are shorter, ~30-45min. However, none of them have been "cut to fit" any specific duration, all are complete episodes, however small they are.
