1Money Brian asks what an understanding of science is for – to unlock the mysteries of the universe or to improve our experience of existence? In the days of early modern science, a collection of like minded but independently wealthy men, financed scientific investigations. But eventually science became too important to be the preserve of the wealthy. Now, Brian visits the Crick Institute in London’s King’s Cross, where it is hoped that the best minds available will have the freedom to investigate whatever they want.
