Six-part documentary series exploring the concepts of physics from familiar theories, such as Newton’s Law of Gravity, to the latest in scientific research, like string theory and M-theory. By connecting...
A recording of a public lecture by George Ellis of the University of Cape Town and winner of the 2004 Templeton Prize, delivered at the Royal Society on 9 December 2004. The complexity of life and the human...
Illustrate fundamentals of physics using interactive computer models and computer animations. Covers: the music of the spheres; conservation of energy; Newtonan gravity; electromagnetism; atomic theory;...
Examines the influence of Newton on scientific thinking in the 18th century, and the rise of what became known as Newtonianism. Discusses ‘Principia Mathematica’ and ‘Optics’, which gave rise to the...
Superstring theory may be the most significant breakthrough in physics since Einstein’s theory of relativity. While many of the theories such as general relativity and quantum mechanics can be readily...
Discusses the latest developments in theoretical physics. The goal is to unify the four forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force into a single law. Einstein died...
Professor Abdus Salam, a 1979 Nobel Laureate, has worked for 20 years towards the ‘grand unification’, the dream of physicists since Einstein that all of nature - the matter it comprises and the forces...
Professor Tom Gold, FRS, the Austrian physicist was only 28 years old when he challenged the fundamental scientific assumption that matter can neither be created out of nothing nor totally destroyed. He,...
Roger Penrose, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, has developed a new geometry for physics which attempts to go beyond Einstein’s theories in our understanding of space. He discusses the...
Professor Sir Fred Hoyle describes the insights that led him to challenge the ‘big bang’ theory of the origin of the universe and to attempt to establish his alternative steady state theory of an...
