I really enjoy listening to and watching Jim Al-Khalili as he brings understanding of the complex concepts of physics to the level of the layman. Having running examples and pictures of the processes discussed brings his presentations to life. Keep up the good work, Sir!
Jim Al Khalili is a master lecturer, his documentaries have you hanging on his every word and hold your attention till the very end. Food for thought, bravo sir.
I must say that as a scientist, I find this extremely beneficial. I would make viewing this video required homework for any chemistry/physics/engineering program. I have always known about Heisenberg and the Uncertainty Principle from Quantum Mechanics, but I never knew the background behind the scientific community and how it all developed. I love learning new things about old concepts. Very well done!
Yes! Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to me, is the clearest pointer to the idea of a conscious universe and our integration in to it. If something isn't conscious, how can it modify it's behavior based our observations? How can it morph in to different things at different times? Could it be that we are in a constant state of interaction on a sub atomic level with everything around us, and we are affecting it, and it is affecting us? The definition of the Indian word karma is "cause and effect". I think there is great wisdom in many older cultures that we are going to be rediscovering over time, as we realize how some of their concepts are related to reality in a very real way, that we simply previously couldn't understand.
This is absolutely fantastic! Al-Khalili is an ingenious presenter. Everyone complaining about the music, get over yourselves. Music is at the heart of human emotion, and that's exactly what I love about these films: knowledge, passion, intellect and great history.
no, I'm trying to understand charged particle interactions -- for some reason. one video says they exchange "virtual photons", another says virtual photons are just a mathematical abstraction. now i'm trying to figure out wtf is really going on here. I figured I'd start with how atoms work.
No I'm here because i was looking for some data to calibrate my time machine and now i'm stuck in a loop, watching one science video after another on the console
This is an absolutely stunning series, presented by a master scientist and- and even greater, master communicator in the form of Jim Al-Khalili. Much better than the popular science tv personality, Brian Cox...
Loved the style of narration. The Einstein/Schrodinger Vs. Bohr/Heisenberg , is put together so well. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together.
Not since James Burke's _Connections_ have we had a science series this good. This is fascinating and exciting, just the kind of teaching to make students want to study physics (or one of the lesser sciences made up of physics). Thank you.
Because the scientists know that it doesn't stop you listening to what is being said and it is a good thing to do. Who are we to say that a scientist got something wrong? we are too stupid to understand these things, you must believe them, the music isn't annoying and it isn't pissing thousands of youtubers off. we are all wrong because we know nothing.
The producers deserve a tip of the hat, as well. The creativity of touches like the music that goes with the steam engine imagery and the work with the "team photo" of the physics greats at the end make this all the more satisfying to watch. But they're easily overlooked amid the exquisite substance of the content!
The rivalry between the Dane Niels Bohr (father of the atom) and the german Einstein (bonafide science-king) in those pioneering days... is brilliant to read up on here in modern time, and literally "MindClash of Titans" Einstein got the Nobel Price in 1921 and Niels Bohr in 1922, just the year after, so likely a lot of "ego" is also in play. and yeah, Einstein went to his grave, and could simply not accept this weird Quantum Mechanics from Niels Bohr and his students. Jim Al Khalili, is superb as a narrator. speak fluently and easy to understand, even from me, as a non-English native tongue.
That was a good narrative of the chronological sequence of the theory being developed. And BTW “matrix mechanics” is hardly ever mentioned in similar documentaries. Respect!
Jim Al-Khalili and Brian Greene are second to none in their ability to present complex concepts in an understandable way to non-physicists. If you liked this, you will love Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Cosmos", and Jim's other videos about Quantum Biology. It appears that our understanding of the relationship between consciousness and quantum mechanics is growing ever greater. Contemplating these concepts has brought me to a completely different understanding of the universe in general, and therefore everything that occurs within it. The game changer for me, was to think of the universe as a conscious entity. From that viewpoint, it gets awe inspiringly cool, and things really started to click in to place. Could it be that everything we do, is an attempt to gain knowledge that it already possesses, in order to become co creators? And if we are successful in our endeavors could we as individuals, someday, through many lifetimes of wisdom acquisition, and probably billions of years, become peers with our current universe and create our own universes too?
My favorite line from "Connections" is "And so Galileo spent the rest of his life under house arrest, while up in the Netherlands, Baruch Spinoza was doing work that helped Isaac Newton. Baruch Spinoza who had been excommunicated by the Jews, discriminated against by the Christians, and tolerated by the Dutch."
Mr Jim you are doing outstanding research on Muslim Scientists and their amazing work done in the field of science. with the core of my heart i appreciate you. God bless you. Sir I have also launched my youtube channel to deliver whatever i have got from my scholarly late father who being renowned lawyer taught me not only law but litrature, poetry philosophy n history. Anyway i have very limited resources but inspite of that i am trying my best to impart to young generation. Regards
30:46 -- _"For a secret liaison with an old girlfriend (whose identity remains a mystery to this day). But their passion proved to be the _*_CAT_*_ -alyst for _*_Schrodinger's_*_ creative genius"._ I see what you did there. Well played, sir... well played indeed.
You need to do something with the audio mix: music is terribly loud and in parts (particularly in e2 and 3) you really can't hear what physicist super star Dr. Jim is saying!
Jim, or as he was then known Jamil, and his brother, joined our school in Portsmouth when we were sixth-formers almost 40 years ago. His career demonstrates that at Priory School, part of the highly democratic Comprehensive Education experiment, with staff like Mrs Marlowe and Mr Williams (our Physics teachers), they could teach us to love science and then help us to teach others to love it too. Also, without immigration, we would never have got Jim and indeed many of the great scientists he talks about in his series. Proud to have gone to school with him!
Excellent, not the least on account on Jim Al-Khalili's genuine approach towards the material, which comes across without no obvious disturbance of the kind that in general is what makes that kind of "sound design" attractive. It's otherwise part of an overexploited culture, perhaps underestimating the value of our sound reasons for styling our focus the way we do (says one who can't at all understand how come some excellent students choose to keep music on at all times).
This is the first video of yours I have seen. It is stunning and explains a lot of things I was very unclear about before. I'm off to watch another one by which time my brain will probably have turned to mush, but if I sit still and don't use it for awhile it should slowly solidify back to it's natural state. Thanks to all those atoms I cannot see or track but that are unstable in a mush and want to return to an ordered state.
The timing of discovery of radiation explains why early movies had Mad Scientists using it in ways that were unscientific, because it was still a mysterious, little understood matter. So of course, it could turn a man into a reptile or a super being. That doesn't mean they wouldn't make up something ridiculous now. It is after all science "fiction," not science lessons.
You speak the truth. I've given the world the true structure of the universe and the cause of gravitational field and the fools are so wrapped up in there establishment they are to blind to see and to dumb to hear the truth.. See nuclear gravity episodes.
I really enjoy your show and your explanations, Dr Al-Khalili. BUT, the background noise distraction drowns your voice and makes it very difficult to listen. Please correct this?
A riveting tale well told on a fascinating subject. Thank you!! Love how Professor Jim explains these things from the very locations where they happened. That was so cool! :)

Thank you Prof. Khalili for the: "Space-between-the-nucleus-and-electron" demo. For this is the part, in atomic physics, where if there is enough external compression - one has less than a millionth of a second to throw it at somebody one does not like: "Hello, Professor. Would you like to Play a Game? How about Global Thermo-Nuclear War?"
amazing and very informative video. It connected all the dots of research of model of atom. This video was recoomeded to me by my physical chemistry teacher AKK Sir.
The documentary was brilliant...the only thing that should not be there is the noisy background music...we are here to learn science rather than to listen the noise...
darkstatehk I don’t care what it is, I just know it’s too load. I could do with some foam for my ears, if they’ve got any spare, although that would just obscure his voice even more.
Great video, but jeez guys, why is the music so loud when narrator is speaking. Couldn't understand substantial portions and of course, no closed captions!
Anton Shadyrya and John Fowler - Try the area around 29:30, for example. The crashing racket is far louder than his voice, making it impossible to hear what he's saying.
A very well presented documentary..reminded of the science textbooks in school teaching about these great scientists...Also, some of the things i've read over the years : 1) The Sound of the Word when vibrates in space creates matter /condenses into matter... 2) In the beginning was the Word..the Word was with God..the Word was God...and all the things that were created were created from It...3) An atom is a particle of darkness...the Nucleus being the throne of Divine Light...4) An ancient Yogi / scientist called "Kanad" was first to mention existence of atoms or "kan"
Excellent documentary. One thing I find a bit wrong, is the notion that when you don't look at a particle it behaves like a wave and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a particle again. This is wrong. Particles are always wave packets of energy. When you are not "looking" at it, it behaves as a spread out wave packet and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a more compact wave packet. But it's always a wave packet, it's always both a particle and a wave.
LOL Go read the Lucher Color Test. You'll have a completely different take on that purple and black outfit. There's some deep conflict in his life. (Not that it's wrong to be conflicted- but YOU'RE wrong for thinking it deserves respect. It's merely "unfortunate" and revealing.)
Mind boggling when sizing fractions of atoms, that's when you lose me. Actually, I tried to stay with and the interesting part came when colors flashed from such tiny objects. This really was a great documentary to watch - thank you.
the idiots just have more platforms to voice their opinions. back then they could go to speakers corner and get laughed at by a handful of bored tourists.
@@timothyhawley5879 🤔 good point. So the internet is sort of a catch 22. Letting crazy people infect other people with their craziness by the millions. I need a drink now 😕
I love how Jim uses such enthusiasm describing conversations that I'm sure were far between each other in time and distance and were often quite uninteresting to most people. He presents everything like it's an action movie or a boxing match and as if the scientists are racecar drivers. Kinda takes the "nerd" out of the science. It's cool though. 😎 I enjoy watching how he presents the science. Different then Brian Cox and Neal Tyson, who presents everything more soft and in awe and heart felt.
I’m 62. No papers due, no class projects. I’m retired. And, I will listen to these kinds of programs as long as I can hear.
I'm 36 and also love this stuff. Just finished an 11 hour video on special relativity by Brian Greene. I recommend it :)
It’s best reason to be here.

Echoing others: The drama of the music- love it or hate it -IT SHOULDN'T OBSCURE THE NARRATOR BY BEING TOO LOUD!... as it is in this series.
These are just some of the best physics documentaries on UA-cam. Period.
Personally, I think they ARE the best on YT.
Yes. There are a LOT of them. It's wonderful.
Professor Jim Al Kahalili has remarkable ability of presenting the facts in absolutely unbiased n crystal clear manner...hats off
Photo of all great minds coming together for conference is incredible
I love that photo! I wonder if the participants were aware of how remarkable their coming together was.
This is an absolutely stunning series, presented by a master scientist and- and even greater, master communicator in the form of Jim Al-Khalili. Much better than the popular science tv personality, Brian Cox...
You did NOT just do that.
The envy reeks off you, and you are aware. Of that man's intellect, personality and looks.
This is the fourth time I attend this show and still amazed. It's so packed with knowledge it cannot flow to normal brain all at once
Try shrinking it down into smaller bits.
i didn't realize... i had been binge watching his lectures for two days in a row.. *slap to my face* hey self return to the world !
Loved the style of narration. The Einstein/Schrodinger Vs. Bohr/Heisenberg , is put together so well. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together.
I'm hooked!!! Can't stop watching Jim Khalili docs . . . Quantum physicists were bouncing ideas off each other like giant atoms at conference . . .
Science and electronic music - 2 great things of my life. Living the dream. Cheers Jim!

I can honestly tell I’ve been listening study physics the last 10 years. And boy have I learned from all of these physics shows. Truly great full
Thank so much. Very clear explanations and a lovely walkthrough physics history
I love Professor Jim Al-Khalili's presentation , What else can I say? from Ethiopia
Learn new every time I watch Jim's science documentary.
Why you dont pay attention the first time?

A very well presented documentary..reminded of the science textbooks in school teaching about these great scientists...Also, some of the things i've read over the years : 1) The Sound of the Word when vibrates in space creates matter /condenses into matter... 2) In the beginning was the Word..the Word was with God..the Word was God...and all the things that were created were created from It...3) An atom is a particle of darkness...the Nucleus being the throne of Divine Light...4) An ancient Yogi / scientist called "Kanad" was first to mention existence of atoms or "kan"
Magic thinking detected.
Excellent documentary.
One thing I find a bit wrong, is the notion that when you don't look at a particle it behaves like a wave and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a particle again. This is wrong. Particles are always wave packets of energy. When you are not "looking" at it, it behaves as a spread out wave packet and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a more compact wave packet. But it's always a wave packet, it's always both a particle and a wave.
Gotta respect that he’s wearing the same purple shirt and black trousers across half of Europe 🤣
LOL Go read the Lucher Color Test. You'll have a completely different take on that purple and black outfit. There's some deep conflict in his life. (Not that it's wrong to be conflicted- but YOU'RE wrong for thinking it deserves respect. It's merely "unfortunate" and revealing.)
😅😅 It’s a good look too. Understated and professional. I’m sure it helps with editing too.
I would need a few spare pairs.
It's almost as if the production team bothered to hire a continuity supervisor. =:o}
Mind boggling when sizing fractions of atoms, that's when you lose me. Actually, I tried to stay with and the interesting part came when colors flashed from such tiny objects. This really was a great documentary to watch - thank you.
1900s our race was arguing about atoms and quantum mechanics, 2018 our race is arguing whether the earth is flat. What have we become.
Were becoming dumber, didnt you know?
Entropy must necessarily proceed from a more organized state.
the idiots just have more platforms to voice their opinions. back then they could go to speakers corner and get laughed at by a handful of bored tourists.
😔 depressing
@@timothyhawley5879 🤔 good point. So the internet is sort of a catch 22. Letting crazy people infect other people with their craziness by the millions. I need a drink now 😕
Absolute genius these guys, I can't even comprehend how those brains works...what ant I am!
Them: *get Boltzmann to do science*
Boltzmann: *does science*
Them: SACRILEGE!
It's terrible the way that these poor men were treated
Wonderful series!
Thank you for that free and educational Video, Host!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
watched all of it, amazing documentary
Agreed. I've always loved Jim Al-Khalili's stuff, but I'd much prefer to listen just to him without all that 'background' noise.
I love how jim explains complex topics and make it simple to understand
Like if you agree!
Who are here after SSR Sir's class?!

Good Stuff !!! 🛸🛸👌👌😎😎I'd be there telling them what time is.
coolest documentary of atom, chronologically explain the succession of discoveries, insurmountable mysteries but still triumph
AWESOME STORY !!!
This intro is so gangsta!
Jim is my dude, I bought his book yesterday The World According to Physics
I love how Jim uses such enthusiasm describing conversations that I'm sure were far between each other in time and distance and were often quite uninteresting to most people. He presents everything like it's an action movie or a boxing match and as if the scientists are racecar drivers. Kinda takes the "nerd" out of the science. It's cool though. 😎 I enjoy watching how he presents the science. Different then Brian Cox and Neal Tyson, who presents everything more soft and in awe and heart felt.
Brilliant presentation!

Haven’t had a teacher in decades. But I’m here to learn.
