Professor Jim Al-Khalili investigates the science of gravity in this 90 minute programme.
This film provides a clear introduction to Einstein’s thought experiments as NOVA explains his theory of relativity and reveals the simple but powerful ideas that reshaped the understanding of gravity.
The programmme presents key concepts of mechanics and light, employing high quality graphics and animations, live footage and worked examples of relevant formulas. Conveniently structured in short clip...
Lecture delivered by Professor Katherine Blundell of the University of Oxford at the Royal Society, London on 25 November 2010. The popular notion of a black hole "sucking in everything" from its...
Particle physicist Dr. Brian Cox believes that the answer to the meaning of the universe lies in gravity. Both Einstein and Newton believed that gravity was powered by God. On a road trip across the USA,...
In this edition of the science series, Adam Hart-Davis and an Australian team investigate the fly’s ability to walk upside down on the ceiling. The programme features the first-ever film to capture flies...
The physics of a fun park looking at circular motion, gravity, acceleration, force, vectors and more.
Shows how absolute, static and dynamic gravity surveys are carried out in the field. The volcanoes studied include Poas in Costa Rica and Etna in Sicily.
Attempts to discover why Newton’s laws of motion are not normally observed directly on earth, even though they appear to work in an orbiting space station, for example Skylab. To minimise the effects of...
The birth and death of stars. Discusses dust in interstellar space and the formation of stars. Gravity is shown to play a major part in the necessary increase of density and temperature, leading to the...
