It is indeed well made

Professor Jim Al Khalili is a world-class instructor and this is one of my favorite educational videos on YT.

34:57 “[Alan] Turing’s brilliant mind saw that any calculation had two aspects: the data and the instructions for what to do with the data.” It’s actually fascinating that it took until the mid-1950s for someone to come up with that abstract idea since Joseph Marie Jacquard’s punch cards, demonstrated in 1801-so, exactly a century and a half earlier-worked on essentially the same principle.

I've lost count of how many times I've viewed Prof. Al Khalili's science documentaries. These shows have no peer.

I've not read all of the comments of course. But, when thinking of Maxwell's demon, there is an obvious expenditure of energy to me. He opens a portal to allow the atom to cross. He has to expend some energy in some sort of way to open and close the portal. Probably much more than the atom uses to glide through the opening. I know it's just a thought experiment. But the conversations about such things is what makes it so great.

We know the energy cost of opening a door, but how does the door know to open, and where is the energy of that information.

All of this is, to a great extent, already contained in the theory of hylomorphism. Over 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said that all that there is in the universe is a compound of matter (hyle) and form (morphe). Matter is *informed* and that’s the only way it actually is real. Reality is hylomorphic. And as a bonus, another way to name form is by a Greek word that will be familiar to you: energeia.

Informative ❤️❤️

Hello Professor Jim Al-Khalili. You have changed my life.I will say it only to word's Thank you :-)

what a brilliant documentary.

The scientific method is the best thing that we as a specie came up with. Although we dont know a lot the little we know is what got us this far, not the religious nonesence most of us believe.

The power of disinformation should not be underestimated.

Even disinformation is information. That’s the purpose of education (hopefully). The ability to reject information that contradicts logic.

I’ve been able to watch this several times which I seldom do. It’s an incredibly insightful and brilliant documentary on a fascinating subject! Love Maxwell’s perching demon, btw:

Don’t wait until the market skyrocket again then you start biting your fingers wishing you made the decision to invest. bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made

Am not good doing it alone but getting into the market has been my best decision so far in my road to financial independence as it turns out to be lucrative for me and Personally I have multiple streams so I just enable the use of an investment advisor to navigate and secure the returns

Woah, Though this is the first time i would be reading comments about my financial advisor Ms. Melisa on KZread comments and it is quite a memorable insight.

To all you people moaning about the ads, simple thing to do is fast forward right to the end and the replay. Ads are gone. Simples.

He mentioned it publicly with Brian Cox during an interview. He made a figurative comparison atheism, and suggested that not collecting stamps is as much a "hobby" as not believing god is a "religion."

Excellent documentary ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Jim
