- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2018
- The second in Professor Jim Al-Khalili's three-part documentary about the basic building block of our universe, the atom. He shows how, in our quest to understand the tiny atom, we unravelled the mystery of how the universe was created. It's a story with dramatic twists and turns, taking in world-changing discoveries like radioactivity, the atom bomb and the big bang. All this forms part of an epic narrative in which the greatest brains of the 20th century competed to answer the biggest questions of all - why are we here and how were we made?

Music is too loud. Such wonderful content needs no music
something went wrong when it was uploaded into youtube? That can't be the way the BBC would have put it up "IN REAL LIFE" .... As everyone has mentioned, there are parts that you can't hear him explaining important information .. e.g. its not when hes just ranting on about humans being "amazing"....
BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BING-BING-BING-BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BOO-DA-DOO-DA-DOOSH-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM
It's produced in Dolby surround sound. 5.1, or 7.1.
That's why some "tv shows" sound like poo when uploaded. The audio format is off.
@@carwashadamcooper1538
Just to clarify, not to contradict - whoever encoded this to be uploaded into TH-cam fucked up with the sound, not the team behind the production and the product.
@@FINNSTIGAT0R of
Tone down the weird sound effects so the useful discussion can be heard.
Watching it on a laptop sounds perfectly fine, maybe it's just on mobile phones.
@@BillAnt you must have really good equalizer settings on your laptop.
@@roxyb03 < Nothing special really, just the VIA Audio Deck with auto-volume leveling turned on. Those who only use their phones to watch TH-cam have no idea what they are missing besides audio control and a nice big screen to enjoy. On a desktop Chrome you can skip the video in 10% intervals (super useful to skim through quickly) by simply pressing the number keys 0-9, speed up or slow down the video in small increments via Ctrl+> / Ctrl+
I'm using headphones and the music is terribly overpowering
Yeah please tune down the music
Rutherford could have split the atom with the power of the music in this video.
Please leave out the "music"
The poor sound mixing aside, this documentary was fantastic. Thank you so much! :)
I think it was quite a bit better before the mono bootleg

Can't hear the music. Some guy keeps talking in the background....
Lol
15 likes in 4 months ??... that's like 150 in a non science video...
is this the clash of two genius or what??... 😁😁😁
I like the music
excellent comment !!!
... ROFL;... Dam saved me Typing to much ...
Music director of this documentary should be slapped and banned from working in these.
Ha, ha - very funny and right. Who supervised the outcome of all this work and OK'ed the final version - a machine? No sane human would ever allow this to progress without fixing it.
@@lala99ification exactly
@@lala99ification It´s the uploader who did it to avoid youtubes automatic copyright detection
Damn right. Thought for a moment it was my TV, but it´s impossible to hear Jim´s vioce over so much nose. That's 100% edition responsability.
@@gmflashmx So? Use decent fu....g music.
Man, my dad was a PhD in physics from Cambridge university and worked at Cal Tech in the 70’s finding quasars as a radio astronomer, and I’m just a lowly CPA. But at age 53, I’m becoming more and more convinced my true path should have been somehow in this incredible field. It’s a real passion of mine. I just got dumbed down by my mom the librarian considerably, so the math is just light years beyond my ability unfortunately. Stephen Hawking’s books started my journey down the rabbit hole about ten years ago and these vids are treasure for me, thank you!
Never too late
Mr. Khalilli; you are by far and away the best presenter of physics knowledge in my opinion and I study a lot of it.
However, I have done some sound recording over the years as a keyboard player and one thing I learned early on is, ALWAYS RUN A FULL LENGTH SOUNDCHECK PLAYBACK before sending anything out the door to the public!
Bloody ridiculous so-called music crap in the background ruining the video.
Yeah it's bad but what do you expect for free, still a great production I'm grateful to experience.
cant you multitask?
Bummer for you
it an documentary
@Philip Turner Calling someone a sheep is such typical, conformist diatribe
Tragicly poorly mixed sound ruins it completely!
Mixed? Not convinced the sound team got that far 😉
Just enjoy it.....
@@TpEric62 As above, easier said than done
@@lozD83 Not much easier
I'd like to find out who did it and why they were employed
Audio problems aside, this is an absolutely stunning video presentation! Captivating and very informative.
Is this some sort of psychological experiment to see how much frustration a person can endure? The parts that I can hear from Jim are golden; just wish I could hear it all.
Crrrazy music gets into your head with all the subtle finess of a drillbit.
YOUR AUDIO ENGINEER SHOULD BE ATOMIZED.
:)
So pleased someone said this
Real shit documentaries amirite?!
I love these documentaries but I still want to shoot the sound engineer but the sound doesnt hurt my ears nearly as much as the concepts hurt my brain 😉
Turning up the right speaker / turning down the left makes the sound of this video somewhat tolerable.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, has the unique skill of being able to break down complex physics problems into manageable, understandable content.. His enthusiasm and willingness to want to impart knowledge is infectious. What a Brilliant educator. Many thanks for helping us understand a little better the wonders of the universe.
But he ISN'T "Mr. Current affairs". Much of what he's talking about has just been discredited thanks to the evidence of the JWST in October 2023 !!!
I need to study this amazing video again, this time with Captions and - No sound! - I so want to understand what he is saying - it is so Wonderful
Such a great documentary. But can't watch it with ridiculous loud music overwhelming Jim's voice.
The YT have algorithms for detecting copyrighted videos by listening the sound so...sound must be distorted in some scenes or all video...
use ear phones brother
Turn the volume off
Kept waiting for the big secret to making gold. Oh well, just another lie. Or did he say it during the sound effects?
the problem would have been solved with subtitles.
the creators of this video got carried away with their control of sound rather than content
This is a pirated copy, something added or subtracted so it can pass TH-cam restrictions.
They took out Jim's voice, and added radio active foreground sound. hehe
By the way, at 16:16 things get a bit weird even for me as an ass-tro-physicist. xD
True
I have to rewatch these almost every year. It's fantastic information. Thank God for captions!
America has great respect for Dr Jim, we love his work.
The power of fusion is no match for the overpowering music on this video.
Well played sir 🤣🤣🤣
Loud music and sound effects spoil the video.
isminidog No, a million ad breaks spoil the video. Annoying that someone tries to make money off of pirated content. (And yes, I know I'm being hypocritical for watching it the same way...)
Probably unbalanced stereo (mike near only one speaker)
It gets better later on.
The noise has ruined the whole video.
It’s free
I concur with authors of other comments, in that a serious problem exists with the loudness of musical accompaniment to thiz documentary... Such great scientific material, as usual with Dr. Khalili..
i really like it when you walk away after asking an important question, that's when i fold my legs waiting for an good explanation.
I can't hear what he's saying when the music is playing. Sound guy needs sacking 😂
yes he need to get him self a job he know how to do it
This would have been so much better without the loud factory noise soundtrack swamping everything out. The producers needed to consult David Attenborough on how to make a proper documentary.
Use noise cancelling technology
I didn't even notice it until I read your comment. I'm blaming you for ruining the rest of the show. LOL
Fully agree
the background sound and music make it difficult to hear Jim's voice
This is sofar the best presentation I have ever seen on the evolution of our universe from atomic levels to all the physical realities. So many discoveries of last 100 years in a very concise and precise manner in just 50 min. Thank you so much!
But he ISN'T "Mr. Current affairs". Much of what he's talking about has just been discredited thanks to the evidence of the JWST in October 2023 !!!
These videos are so good and informative. I love the way he explains things. Much better than anyone else because he doesn't skip over stuff. The only problem is that AWFUL music that plays over him speaking. I can't hardly hear what he is saying because of how loud and horrible that music and sound effects are. Please listen to everyone and just stop it!
Great video. Fire the sound mixer. They are incompetent.
The YT have algorithms for detecting copyrighted videos by listening the sound so...sound must be distorted in some scenes or all video...
Arrest the sound people for crimes against humanity.
Loving the content though so I'm will ing to put up with it
It is not their fault. Should blame uploading pirated material process to avoid YT restrictions.
@@SoulArtSound so that's why? The more you know!
Sound is bad because its originally in stereo and then mixed bad in conversion to this video. Great series, really good
Thanks
You lightened me up
Still one question:
Why the very loud background "music" in the video?
Makes it hard to listen and concentrate on the narrative
Background noise too loud
I agree
Didn’t notice. Was also practicing kissing on my arm though...
Too true. I gave up after 5 minutes, as much as I was interested. Horrible, irrelevant din.
really bad editing around 29 minute point. The balance of the different sound tracks is way off.
It's a stolen video. The scumbag 'Reel' Truth jackasses manipulate the sound to bypass TH-cam automatically flagging it. Do your part and flag it manually.
@stolencontent
the bloody music is a real piss off at times you can hardly hear him
We all are just nuclear waste......!!!!!what a thought......remarkable.....jim u r awesome....thnx for this masterpiece
21:08 my favourite part of this documentary. I just can't stop replaying it on how well he explains the fusion of hydrogen to helium
Yes - but it's wrong! Or, at least, he's neglecting to tell you the important bits: they almost always repel each other - two protons can't coexist like that - but when they do occasionally 'fuse' together, a positron and neutrino are released causing one of the protons to become a neutron and the pair to become deuterium nucleus. I'm puzzled why Jim got this all wrong cos he clearly knows it....
Very interesting series. But the music is horrible.
I like it. Subjective as usual with aesthetic preferences.
Ahmad i
true. Horrible , irritating, and disturbing music
The mixing on this is atrocious, I literally can't hear some of what's being said... Otherwise fun and interesting.
Thank you Professor Jim for these incredible insights
But he ISN'T "Mr. Current affairs". Much of what he's talking about has just been discredited thanks to the evidence of the JWST in October 2023 !!!
Thank you Dr. Al-Khalili … Great work. Talking about Iron with atomic number of 26 right at the 26 minutes into the video clip made me wonder.
Googled Hadeed (Iron) and found out that the Arabic conversion of Hadeed to number adds up to 26!
Verse 25 of Chapter Hadeed:
Certainly We sent Our apostles with manifest proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that mankind may maintain justice; and We sent down iron, in which there is great might and uses for mankind, and so that Allah may know those who help Him and His apostles [with faith] in the Unseen. Indeed Allah is all-strong, all-mighty.
Appreciate your work and sharing your knowledge with us.
Love it.. But dont like the music over him talking...can hardly hear him
Jim should be pissed at the sound guy. He just ruined his documentary..
Maybe Jim likes it this way. lol
Watching it on a laptop with an equalizer sounds perfectly fine, maybe it's just on mobile phones.
@@BillAnt Equalizing out some frequencies would help but not very much. Volume compression would help. But...it sucks.
@@DavidBrown-jk2pm sucks sucks 'come on
it's not that bad at times :)
It's not "the sound guy"; it's whoever ripped this documentary and uploaded it to this channel. They not only screwed up the stereo downmix of the sound, they also strip the production credits from *everything*.
If you want a properly downmixed version of this series, it starts here: vimeo.com/73657092
I never when to physics class and chemistry
But now by following Jim up to down
I explain nature clearly to my Scientific friends
You are amazing in presenting in palatable and simple to understand. Thank you
Some editing systems have an audio "ducking" feature where the music is automatically reduced in volume when there is dialog. It sounds (literally) like the sound mixer didn't know what they were doing.
we can barely hear his voice as the background is way too loud
change your speaker settings
Bummer
Dryootube really?
@@Dryootube What "speaker settings?" What are you talking about?
@@DavidBrown-jk2pm are you watching this on a PC or mobile device?
unfortunate that the background music is louder than vocals at times. However finally the strong nuclear force has been clearly explained to me. Thanks
Valuable documentary .with radio interceptions sometimes larger than the defining contents.
Mikel Funderburk
says, 1 year ago:
"Background noise too loud"
At times, it's almost impossible to hear Dr. Jim Al-Khalili's narration.
Please, fix it, someone. Anyone?
The commentator voice should not be the background sound. All that loud noise destroys the beauty of the documentary.
Great. Though even the subtitles was unwilling to make a guess at the spoken pieces behind the music.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili is amazing !!!
My heartfelt gratitude for all the people who would have been part of this the most incredible series, if i had been tought by Mr. Khalili during my school days, i would have been a science scholar now. By watching this and other videos of Sir khalili, my whole science text book is in front of my eyes with clear concepts for the first time in my life
The background 'music' is pretty dire - nevertheless, great series - Thanks!
I really enjoy your work. It helps me grasp the mystery of this universe.
This is brilliant! Love this series so much
Holy crap. The music is so loud.
I could barely hear the music for that guy talking all the time.
His ability to move graphs around the screen using Telekinesis is brilliant.
Music is so loud at times you cant even hear the talking. Apart from that its a good doco.
I wish back ground loud music should be stopped when giving commentary
Great video, awful sound mixing. Someone was asleep at the switch. The music track overwhelms the dialog.
Rick S hi
No point having a great physicist-communicator without an equally good sound engineer.
This is sofar the best presentation I have ever seen on the evolution of our universe from atomic levels to all the physical realities.
whoever mixed the sound track for this really didn't do so well for this format music background is far to strong and loud for the vocal mix
Who picked this damn music and sound effect ?
I did. I bet knowing that changes everything
@@danjones9007 What are you going to do about it? Have you apologised to Jim and paid him damages for ruining this amazing video?
Dan Jones, you have to do something about this. Why not just get rid of the music? It does not contribute anything but noise.
5:39 when he says ALCHEMISTS and the music kicks in...wow. Someone should sample that....
I love it, right off the bat, "we have answered these questions", no we haven't, we have barely scratched the surface. So, on that note, I will look elsewhere thank you.
background-music and Prof.Khalili's audio are coupled using heisenberg uncertainty principle. you can listen only one at a time.
Thank you Dr. Jim Al-Khalili! This is another fine episode of physics, as you've made previously. I'm a university educated man but I have never heard this narration of nuclear physics before. It's great!
so I get deafened by background noise and cannot hear the descriptions of this wonderful discovery. Its reassuring to know that when I hear "wob wob wob" it's actually something intellectual, even if I dont get to hear it properly.
why do gay people have weird ears?
this series was great it really opens ones mind to the interconnectivity of all things
Couldn't complete watching this video because of its background music.
watching all these Physicist's talk about the forces of nature, not one of them explained it in a way i fully understood until this episode. Well done Jim Al-Khalili..
Right
But he ISN'T "Mr. Current affairs". Much of what he's talking about has just been discredited thanks to the evidence of the JWST in October 2023 !!!
I felt I was watching the Cosmos series from the great Carl Sagan, we miss you, Carl.
what a brilliant doco. Shame I couldn't hear it
I see Jim and i press play. It's as simple as that.
I dont think there were enough ads maybe add 100 more
There are way more ads on TV, and I would argue that TH-cam has vastly superior content. So in my humble opinion, TH-cam viewers are getting a pretty good deal.
@@michaelgorby Ad block plus gets rid of all ads
@@stevebrindle1724 I sincerely love the adblocker I have! Have not seen an ad in months!!!
@@prof2yousmithe444 Me too Prof, its made my You Tube viewing sso much better. I cannot understand why more people are not on to it!
steve brindle How do you get it?
The incompetence of the editing is downright funny at times.
Having read all the comments on the loudness of the background music, I now feel the odd one out. Watching the video, I was so immersed in the wonder of the science, the passionate and articulate presentation of Jim Al-Khalili, that must have been completely deaf to the music; almost as weird as Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
Never noticed any problem with the music. Great science documentary!
The authors of this vid need to take it down, remix the sound and put it back up. Love the content, but fix the sound!
Great series. Thanks for taking the effort to walk us through the history of modern physics. Anyone baffled by 21st century news flashes about what is coming from Cern is well advised to watch this series to understand the background of the current questions that modern physics is grappling with.
FORMULATED WAX WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF ANIMAL AND HUMAN LIVES ……….
If we don’t fix our broken planet soon we will be leaving our children in a world where humans will be at the extinction level, including all living creatures on our Earth. because mankind since the beginning of the industrial revolution have been poisoning the air that we have been breathing for all these years. The many poisons are uncultivable and are accumulative within the body, such as the world-wade spread of the long half-life radiation escaping from Nuclear power plants, radioactive exposed waste material and leaking structures and buildings structures housing radioactive material. A natural cause of cancer and early death is from breathing into your lungs Radon Gas that kills over 21,000 every year, it seems that most humans are unaware of this because just like any radiation, you can’t see, smell, or hear, you only feel the results, which is a painful slow death. and it is here to stay unless mankind puts a stop for it NOW and not let our children have to deal with it in the future, but it is almost too late. The Carbon released into the atmosphere from industrial smokestacks has darkened our skies and settling on the ice and snow thereby absorbing the heat of the sun causing the melting resulting aiding the sea to rise. These problems can be solved only by the overlooked subject of formulated wax. Wax is one of the most overlooked subjects in the world for its use in solving most all mankind created pollution. This will be the only text written on this subject, Environmental scientists are trying to solve highly technical problems without success. They must look backwards to solve today and the future pollution using simple, noncomplex, basic non-technical, just elementary thinking. If we do not act now, the accumulated pollution will become irreversible by the time our children are grown up. When they are, they will force the arms of governments to implement these confirmed solutions. . Formulated wax has been demonstrated in Chernobyl showing how to prevent Plutonium dust particles from escaping into the environment through open seems in the shady steel constructed Sarcophagus of Chernobyl’s blown out reactor # 4 It was also demonstrate showing how to cocoon buried highly radioactive rusting steel to then be re-buried for long safe burial thereby preventing the rust from transmigration into the water table, and if not cocooned the rust particles will transmigrate through the ecosystem. Plutonium, PU 239 has a half-life of over 24,000 years and not going away in our lifetime or our grandchildren and for generations before them. So again, we must act now. Formulated wax has even been demonstrated showing how to remove crude oil or any type of fuel including gasoline from water, beach sand and rocks in a very short time. View, Wax For Oil Spills on TH-cam to see demo. The list goes on for formulated wax uses and its proven achievements. Formulated wax if used properly, will save millions of human and animal lives. Lastly, in 1958 I discovered and coined the word, WAXOGEN which can be used as a rocket fuel in the future

I am glued to every presentation that you make it's fantastic!
One of the most important scientific docunentsries of 21st century
I just subscribed. Excellent channel good narration, most interesting. But please science does not need any background noise or music. If I count from the beginning and through two engineering degrees I set I classes 22 years of my 93 and there were no music or dramatic background noise.
May be Einstein or The rest of physicists liked to worked that way. One of my daughter is a physicist from Cambridge she never said that..
Why to damage a great informatic science video????
amazing soundtrack, I can't believe I listened to it for 50 mins LOL
Would've Been awesome if it wasn't for that guy talking all the time.
probably the story of the atom is one of science's greatest tales
Good music, but I'd listen to it on an album rather than when I'm learning about nuclear physics.
Praggy Pops obviously didn't read my comment very carefully. I complained about BACKGROUND NOISE, not about HEARING the video. Noise is a different problem than sound volume that is set too high or too low. In this instance, it's impossible to separate the BACKGROUND NOISE from the person's voice. In simple terms, Sound of Voice = GOOD; Background Noise = BAD. And no, I never listen to loud music, through ear buds or otherwise. My hearing is just fine.
It's just the antenna in your tooth picking up big bang's background noise.
I sure wish I could hear the background music
Good video thanks for sharing but it would have been much better without the sound effects.
The Sopranos spoof was well done
I'm impressed with the background sound, what was the documentary about btw?
Bgmis too louder can't hear what he says but the information's are very helpful thank you for that
Could someone close caption this please? People the world over would be very grateful. Thank you so much ❤
You know right away that jim kadilly is a genius because his head is shaped like a lightbulb.
Fascinating subject, well explained. Too bad you cant hear the guys voice in many parts due to being drowned out by loud music and effects. Whoever did the audio editing messed up bad.
A good scientific video.
yeah , but many religious craps commented here ...
Another great astonishing video from Al-Khalili.
The music for the second time overpowers the information.
