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!

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...

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.

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!

@frankwestphal8532

2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Complex topic made simple, given order, far better than any professor I have heard. Love it!

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.

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?

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.

One of the best descriptions of the atomic theory and the history behind quantum mechanics. 👏🏽👏🏽

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.

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.

I am a physicist, my tutor at university was a German physicist who did his PhD with W. Heisenberg, also my tutor was roommate of C von Weizacker, and he told me several anecdotes about Heisenberg. One of them is about when he came up with the uncertainty principle. According to Heisenberg, it occurred to him on a mountain where they had a campfire to rest. If anyone wants more anecdotes about Heisenberg write to me in the replies and we can do it privately.

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!

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.

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.

AWESOME STORY !!!
