The second programme focuses on the amazing natural technology that makes reptiles such a successful group. Are reptiles the bio-technology wizards of the animal world? If you count sprinting on water, shooting blood from the eyes, spitting poison at their enemies, navigating by magnetic fields, converting ribs into a hang-glider, or communicating emotions in colour then, yes, they are!
Alligators on golf courses, geckos in hotels, chameleons in the garden and pampered pet pythons - reptiles are invading our space! So what will the future role for these living cousins of the dinosaurs be? Will reptiles give us better biotechnology and medicines? Or a 'Jurassic Park'?

Global temperatures have risen by 0.6 degrees centigrade over the last 140 years. It may appear an insignificant amount, but if temperatures continue to increase at this rate by 2050, the consequences could be catastrophic. In fact, some scientists are actually predicting an increase of 6 degrees centigrade during this century.
Science has advanced more in the last few decades than all of previous human history but that pales in comparison to what lies ahead. Light is leading the next revolution. Energies of Light meets up with some extraordinary visionaries who are taming light's power.
