Well presented, if music a little over-loud. I'm reminded of a presenter called James Burke a few decades ago, who gave the impression of being involved in everything he talked about. But Jim Al-Khalili is the real thing, a physicist who can talk English to non-physicists. This is a gem.
James Burke’s series “Connections” was fantastic and he didn’t need background noise to make it interesting. There are many other TH-cam videos about various scientific subjects with less noise AND with subtitles for hearing-impaired viewers like me.
prof. Jim Al Khalili is my favourite educator by far ! He talks about very complex subjects in a way that makes them accessible even to the likes of me !
@@MOSMASTERINGhe’s a physicist who knows his subject but also has the ability to be engaging and can present the information in a way we can all enjoy. I would think he wrote the script in conjunction with others who also know the subject along with people who know what approach will work for those who will watch programmes like this. Some people know their subject and are brilliant at it but cannot explain it very well. Others can explain it in an engaging way but don’t necessarily understand it as well. Jim Al Khalili is one of those few who can do both. Richard Feynman was another who could do this as was Carl Sagan
This was something I discovered for myself over 40 years ago. It made sense to me at the time, but it didn't begin to become a reality until computer science began to blossom. The usage transistors and their applications could not have been made possible without this knowledge.
What I want to know is why are these series a million times more interesting than regular programs. Awesome interesting and thought provoking and brilliantly presented.
Because most TV programmes are mindless entertainment, soap operas and comedy , so called talent and reality shows. They don't cater for people wanting to learn something.
Jim is in the top 5 physicists that I like to listen to. It's hard to imagine anyone could be better than him. His voice is being drowned out by the sound effects/music in parts of many of his video's. I cannot understand how whoever was/is responsible for this is not aware of this egregious mistake. I mean he/she had to have listened to and edited the work before putting it out for public consumption. Are they deaf?
What you are watching are not the originals. They are processed and uploaded by a giant holding company in France (Banijay). Thus you are watching an at least 3rd generation copy. During down/upload, the sound has been compressed and the frequency of the audio jiggered all to hell. It's not that they're deaf, it's that it (Banjjay) is so big, it just doesn't care. I've seen many of these videos as originals on PBS and BBC, and the original picture and audio are excellent.
@@fazzaz31 Thanks for the explanation, I too found the music/sound effect volume level excessive. I had to resort turning the volume right down and adding subtitles. Bolleaux to Banijay!
You would think from the great scientific theories we think we know. I would think the fact that the great musical genius behind this video would understand that.”Whenever the volume of the music is equal to the volume of the voice the product equals noise”!
It's not just the music that's terrible in this video. As someone who's been devoting most of my life to popularizing science, I can honestly say this is a great example on how not to do a documentary. The subject is one of the most interesting that there is, and the scientific content (when presented) is quite good, too... but - stupid useless anecdotes, shots of where offices used to be, and for fuck's sake, suspense on a scientific documentary? This is the opposite of what a person with a desire for learning should get. Just tell me what's the fucking theory/equation that the fucking scientist created already! FFS scientists, it's been too long you've been trying to do the communications part of your job yourselves. Hire some professionals. Yes, you need them. You're terrible at this.
Well, I've run out of superlatives to describe just how brilliant, is this video. I am stunned at how exceptionally well, the complex subject of quantum electrodynamics is presented. I was able to follow the science somewhat and I'm so impressed, that the material was made accessible to me. A great film.
Robert Goss As an English person and therefore trained in such dark arts since I was knee high to a grasshopper I think I spy a fellow English person. Could be wrong but not many do sarcasm like the English, Maybe Aussie?
I agree he is very good at presenting the concepts shared in the series of these summary science episodes. I am curious how much he is involved with the creation of the content deciding on what the most relevant portions and people too present during the short amount of time allotted for each episode. I have always been excited to follow along from time to time and get a glimpse of how the theories and models are being refined, re-imagined or rebuked. As a kid I recall another series from the BBC with a presenter I am reminded of when watching these series, Jame's Burke in the series "The day the Universe changed" he also presented another shorter 10 episode series call "Connections". I think those series more than anything I was presented within in school inspired a curiosity and desire to do more investigations on my own time as a youth. I always love to hear of such stories about the young rebels of science who have the nerve and wit to challenge the established main stream and get it right even if not always right away. As much as you hear or read about those in the field of science practicing the "scientific method" of following the empirical evidence through rigorous experimentation, observation and a good dose of skepticism along the way, once a group of "The established" Authoritarians have settled on acceptance of a theory, especially one that persists unchallenged for more than several decades or longer, it seems at least to me, that they will hold onto that idea tighter than (you fill in the blank) which while it's undeniably important to keep a healthy dose of skepticism anytime well established "Theories" are challenged they are just that after all "Theories" and if young physicist or academics or a team of seasoned experimenters have some radical new concepts which they can back up with some type of observable phenomena or mathematical models that might turn the establishment on it's ear, they will have too have the backbone and stomach to face the "scientific Inquisition" just to be heard out and possibly face such ridicule and reputation crushing backlash that it's far more reasonable to decide that your financial security and current acceptance in your field is far more important that the possibility that you may be onto something of true insight. Feynman, love him or not, I believe was one of those such characters IMHO. I enjoyed learning more about his scientific contributions, lectures at Cal-Tech and his Social antics with a child-like unquenchable curiosity, prankster-ish attitude and fierce intelligence with a "I don't give a hoot if you think I am right" here it is and here are a few mathematical "proofs" to put in your stockings, attitude, that drove and motivated him. He is and academic you could point to who bucks to saying "Those who can't do, Teach". Well anyways! I applaud Mr. Al-Khalili and wish him many more years of inspired sharing to the masses or anyone who is curious enough to listen and ponder. God bless everyone. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
One of rare good videos on modern physics with a lot of boilerplate stuff but done consistently and informative. These Al-Khalili hosted videos are done in a very professional manner.

Aside from the mind-boggling content, the logistics of putting these shows together is equally mind-boggling: Going from a script to finding locations, setting up appointments, getting permissions to film, producing illustrative artwork, ensuring continuity, etc.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
A neutron walks into a bar and asks for a beer. A moment later he tells the bartender "How much do I owe you?" and the bar tender says "For you? - No charge"
nuff sed well that’s a limited idea of what a “god” would be. That’s like imagining a god to be human. And think and feel like us. If there is a god. Then it isn’t a dude with the beard in the sky. It would be something beyond our comprehension. Something beyond the human notion of good and evil. Hospitable /inhospitable. Who knows. I for one don’t know. Do you?
If it hasn’t been mentioned earlier, Jim got the Quantum Physics conferences right after the end of WWII mixed up just a bit. The 1947 conference was on Shelter Island, NY (Long Island) at the Rams Head Inn and the 1948 conference was at Pocono Manor in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. They were followed by the Oldstone Conference in 1949 held at Oldstone-on-the-Hudson in Peekskill, NY. The Oldstone Conference was the one in which Richard Feynman presented his approach to quantum electrodynamics (QED).
@AllenFromM -- Thank you, that's correct. Also, Feynman taught at Cornell after leaving the Manhattan Project in 1946. He spent a year teaching and learning to play Samba in Brazil, beginning in 1951, and then moved to Southern California to join Cal Tech in Pasadena.

This series must have an enormous budget. I think I have learned as much from how the material is presented as Dr. Al-Khalili’s lectures as he travels from location.

You may have known this, but I just found out that right clicking the video you can select "Loop" to keep replaying it in an infinite loop. Last but not least, Shift+Left/Right arrow keys will slow or speed up the video in .25x increments.
Your respect for the field of physics is admirable, as is your ability to explain complex topics in an understandable manner. I like that you include aspects of the physicists’ lives and personalities, making them so much more relatable and interesting.
Don't forget that Jim Al-Khalili is a nuclear physicist at the University of Surrey, England. He also works at CERN. His respect for physics is inherent in the path he has chosen in his life. He's a brilliant, yet humble scientist who came originally from Iraq.
The background 'music' for this SUCKS. I do background music professionally. The first rule is that it must remain in the BACKGROUND. That's a pretty good reason for calling it 'background music'. As some points in this video e.g. 25:00 the sound efx peak the meters and surpass even the speaker's voice volume. This video is wonderful, but it is spoiled in parts because of the 'foreground music'.
@@lala99ification I think the problem of 'way too loud background music' begins in the recording studio. The producer and engineer 'mix down', i.e., combine the audio elements: announcer, music, and sound efx. Here's the problem: They're sitting in a nice, quiet studio with great speakers (usually, very high quality, expensive "bookshelf" speakers). To their ears, the sound is great and the announcer can easily be heard over the speakers in the quiet, carpeted studio. BUT, when people listen at home on cheap, crappy speakers in their phones or tablets, something happens. What happens is that a "compression" effect happens where the loud and soft parts "smoosh" together (not a technical term lol). The announcer and music get mixed together as if they were both the same volume. (I won't get into the technical reasons for this). The bottom line is that what YOU hear on your computer is not what the producer and engineer heard in the recording studio during mixdown. Experienced studio people know that the way to compensate is to make the music much lower than they think sounds good. They KNOW this compression effect happens, so they keep the music fader super soft in the final mix. Unfortunately for us listeners, inexperienced studio people must wait until someone like me takes a shot at them in a TH-cam comment lol. THEN, they become 'experienced' and, "voila!"... no more complaints that "you can't hear the vocal clearly".
I would like to take a minute to thank you for your videos they have opened so much knowledge to me! Your video production is Amazing!! Every scene is so well edited and placed to make the subject completely understood. You must travel all over the globe to capture many of yourThanks again for your hard work.it just blows my mind at all the thought and work that goes into your production. I don’t know who your financial supporters are, but God Bless them!
Thanks to this video, I now know what Vogon poetry sounds like (i.e.: the background sounds/effects/screeches -- I refuse to use the word "music" in this context)
I find that listening through a decent set of headphones brings out the narration more than the music.I found it quite easy to understand without distraction.It seems "production value" is lost on many people.
I am highly interested in the explanation, what keeps getting in the way is the "background of bloody music", which is unnecessary and too distracting. Might you publish another exposaition leaving out that music, please?

It certainly isn't the best we have. A string of discoveries revealed at a Science & Industry conference at Bath University in July 2019 by a High Tech Electrical Engineering company, has turned Physics on its head. This company set out to examine the Electric Sun model as opposed to the mainstream model that the Sun (& stars) are powered by an internal Thermo Nuclear power source. If the Electric Sun model (where the Sun & stars are powered by electricity from an external force much like a light bulb) could be proven. The company reasoned this may reveal new technologies! Proving the Electric Sun model during 5 years of Multi-Million Dollar tests is correct, has revealed how the atmosphere of the Sun transmutes molecules, and how Stars in reality work. This also revealed a method to "Switch off" Radiation, and in the process broke Newton's Law of Gravity (recorded visibly on film). The Discoveries also destroy Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and therefore all the other Theories that hang on it. Including; Black Holes; Dark Matter; Dark Energy; Expanding Universe; Big Bang; and a host of others. A huge internal row within Physics is now brewing, as those Physicists who have spent their lives researching Science Fiction rather than Fact are not going to take this lying down. Indeed it could spill into Mass Media like the Prof Velikovsky incident in 1950. Velikovsky was the first proponent of the Electric Universe Theory, and dared to question Newtons Law of Gravity, so was ridiculed as a "Heretic". So this latest group of Discoveries (not Theories) proves yet more of Velikovsky's work to be correct. Discovering how to "Switch off" radiation means a new design of "Green" Nuclear Reactor (no Radiation), is, they tell us already on the drawing board. It also means we should be able to clean up all the buried Nuclear waste and has implications for Nuclear weapons. Which will probably upset the Military. You cannot discover new Technologies if the Science isn't correct !!!!
"Reality Is Not What It Seems" - written by Carlo Rovelli. I stronly raccomend to read that book. Transated in many languages. "In this mind-expanding book, he shows how our understanding of reality has changed throughout centuries". How the world religions were blocking science development. After reading this book i become atheist, bucause if not religions todays science development would be at such high level, that aging process would be understood and stopped.
So we are all created by one creator atoms are like the trademark of same artist..so everything nature is alive in their own way ..all things praise in glory of almighty ...
@Dave Males your eyes do not have light of their own you see through the light of the sun who do you think connected human eyes to the sun's light..stop being wondering fools.
@Dave Males all things have time limitations..close minded souls are floating do not why there are here and one day when times are up where their souls will go..
Feynman and his diagrams...pure genius. To piss off that many great minds at once must have been wonderful....and all with a few squiggly lines and forks in their paths.
Buster Pure genius is Barbara Brennan, the physicist who wrote the book "Hands of Light". She taught herself to see people as holograms, then built a college to teach it.
Good programme, but the sound effects & 'music' make it almost impossible for anyone with a hearing limitation (which includes me) to follow the narration. Appalling that we are still having to put up with this when surely it's about time documentary producers were told to stop this arrogant nonsense.
Documentaries have become unbearable for me to watch sometimes because of the continuous emotional manipulation tactics, not the least of which is the stupid music. I'm not a 5 yr old. I can think and feel for myself. Just give me the facts. You can make a documentary entertaining without resorting to stupid tactics. Some of the best, most entertaining documentaries I've ever seen had no music at all. I suppose I must accept this will be a lost art like many other things.

Listen carefully, you can hear the Universe not giving a fuck.
Thank you, that was awesome. On a number of occasions i have observed full HD 3D worlds come into existence before my very own closed eyes. I believe on a couple of those occasions i was consciously observing the unfolding of the dream world coming out of what appeared to be static like seen on a tv screen that hasn't been tuned. But on another occasion when i closed my eyes i found myself observing, again in HD 3D, the types of equations shown in your documentaries, large and elaborate far beyond my tiny brain. I recall at the time wondering if i was observing the math behind my very existence. it was a one time only event unfortunately. Row row row ya boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
This knowledge is brilliant , it blows my mind, the path these competitive physicists took to more bring some simplicity to extremely complex abstract science
Shelter Island is off the coast of the State of New York and specifically Long Island. Our professor is still brilliant and I love his brilliant and revelatory explanations!
It only sounds bad watching it on a phone. Try it in Chrome on decent computer/laptop, much more enjoyable, especially where you can adjust the sound envelope. Also you can skip forward/backward with the left and right cursor keys, and a quick 10% to 100% skip using the keys 1 through 9. ;D
I would like to see someone make a video discussing the physics breakthroughs over time but focusing on the overall view of these events as they were first brought into existence, as ideas. When the idea of an atom first came about, before it was proven, how was the idea perceived by other scientists? Is it usually the case that drastic leaps in scientific understandings are first met with great skepticism?
why? wouldnt ya rather save the 15000 a day dieing from starvation ? oh. well then ya must be EVIL AND BAD. YOU GANE GET STUCK IN A BLACK HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHTMARE AND ITS GANNA TAKE MILLIONS OF YEARS FOR YOU TO WAKE UP. HA! FKN COP THAT YA SATAN WORSHIPPING CONFORMIST FUK

The series are very interesting, the music is disturbing overlapping the informal speaker voice. Please minimize the effects of music to entertain / educate with facts Thanks
I've always found physics hard to picture and abstract. But Dr. Jim Al-Khalili explains some of the most mind-blowing discoveries and equations so well! Brilliant
Learned after 30 years producing: Never have the same person COMPOSE the Music, that EDITS the final piece. They think the show or documentary or film -IS ABOUT THEIR MUSIC! ;")
Oddly, my audio was great... Based on recent horrible audio from other videos, always by the same channel, I thought it was that channel's upload error. Now, I venture it is a TH-cam playback error.
I love this documentary. It doesn't explain everything but it comes close to what the human mind is capable of, and the explanations are very clear. We still may have a lot more to learn, bit this takes us to the edge of what we know today.
Excellent! This video puts the development of 20th century physics in perspective, and explains such complex subjects so clearly. This is the best video I've seen on the subject!
Fascinating subject, and very well presented. Shows how deeply we rely on maths to understand our world, and at some point we have to interpret what those mathematical equations mean in a physical sense.
Other comments to the contrary, I found the documentary interesting, enlightening, and thought-provoking. The music and extraneous video that some people seem to find annoying, or distracting are, I think, commendable efforts to illustrate sonically and graphically concepts that are undefinable. This is, after all, scientific entertainment; without these elements we would be left with a classroom lecture - and a tedious one, at that. The concepts presented, suggested, or hinted at spark curiosity, which, in turn, is a catalyst to thought, thought to theory, theory to experiment, experiment to revelation, revelation to enlightenment, enlightenment to understanding until, of course, a new equation destroys the physical/mathematical certainties upon which it, itself, is based. I would not be surprised, at all to learn that a quark is either the container of another universe or (I can only imagine the fury this proposition will engender) God.
David Fury or not, 'magically bursting forth are quarks spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light, forming what are called protons and neutrons'. I found these words in the book "The Quantum World" written by the physicist Kenneth Ford. Eternal, electromagnetic, holographic, multidimentional energy beings we are, vibrating as God. I found these words in the book "Hands of Light" written by the physicist Barbara Brennan. You can see pictures of what we look like out of these bodies as energy beings and holograms. Brennan has built a college system teaching this.
Speculation is free, worlds within worlds, everything is possible, and absolutely nothing is real. And very soon you realise that words have become meaningless.
@Mission Lights Is annoying people's ears substantial to copyright purposes? I think it's just stoopid. If you don't want it out, just keep it in and let my ears alone...

Jim is in the top 5 physicists that I like to listen to. It's hard to imagine anyone could be better than him. His voice is being drowned out by the sound effects/music in parts of many of his video's. I cannot understand how whoever was/is responsible for this is not aware of this egregious mistake. I mean he/she had to have listened to and edited the work before putting it out for public consumption. Are they deaf?

What you are watching are not the originals. They are processed and uploaded by a giant holding company in France (Banijay). Thus you are watching an at least 3rd generation copy. During down/upload, the sound has been compressed and the frequency of the audio jiggered all to hell. It's not that they're deaf, it's that it (Banjjay) is so big, it just doesn't care. I've seen many of these videos as originals on PBS and BBC, and the original picture and audio are excellent.

It's not just the music that's terrible in this video. As someone who's been devoting most of my life to popularizing science, I can honestly say this is a great example on how not to do a documentary. The subject is one of the most interesting that there is, and the scientific content (when presented) is quite good, too... but - stupid useless anecdotes, shots of where offices used to be, and for fuck's sake, suspense on a scientific documentary? This is the opposite of what a person with a desire for learning should get. Just tell me what's the fucking theory/equation that the fucking scientist created already! FFS scientists, it's been too long you've been trying to do the communications part of your job yourselves. Hire some professionals. Yes, you need them. You're terrible at this.
totally agree thought it was just me but the back ground noise/ music drowns out the speaker!
@Richard Nolan < They should have used some funky porn music like Bow-Chicka-Bow-Wow, and perhaps a little higher resolution than 480dpi. xD
I cannot express how EXPLOSIVE this is and Jim Al-Khalili is a saint for bringing this macro knowledge.....simply sensational!
Well, I've run out of superlatives to describe just how brilliant, is this video. I am stunned at how exceptionally well, the complex subject of quantum electrodynamics is presented. I was able to follow the science somewhat and I'm so impressed, that the material was made accessible to me. A great film.

I agree he is very good at presenting the concepts shared in the series of these summary science episodes. I am curious how much he is involved with the creation of the content deciding on what the most relevant portions and people too present during the short amount of time allotted for each episode. I have always been excited to follow along from time to time and get a glimpse of how the theories and models are being refined, re-imagined or rebuked. As a kid I recall another series from the BBC with a presenter I am reminded of when watching these series, Jame's Burke in the series "The day the Universe changed" he also presented another shorter 10 episode series call "Connections". I think those series more than anything I was presented within in school inspired a curiosity and desire to do more investigations on my own time as a youth. I always love to hear of such stories about the young rebels of science who have the nerve and wit to challenge the established main stream and get it right even if not always right away. As much as you hear or read about those in the field of science practicing the "scientific method" of following the empirical evidence through rigorous experimentation, observation and a good dose of skepticism along the way, once a group of "The established" Authoritarians have settled on acceptance of a theory, especially one that persists unchallenged for more than several decades or longer, it seems at least to me, that they will hold onto that idea tighter than (you fill in the blank) which while it's undeniably important to keep a healthy dose of skepticism anytime well established "Theories" are challenged they are just that after all "Theories" and if young physicist or academics or a team of seasoned experimenters have some radical new concepts which they can back up with some type of observable phenomena or mathematical models that might turn the establishment on it's ear, they will have too have the backbone and stomach to face the "scientific Inquisition" just to be heard out and possibly face such ridicule and reputation crushing backlash that it's far more reasonable to decide that your financial security and current acceptance in your field is far more important that the possibility that you may be onto something of true insight. Feynman, love him or not, I believe was one of those such characters IMHO. I enjoyed learning more about his scientific contributions, lectures at Cal-Tech and his Social antics with a child-like unquenchable curiosity, prankster-ish attitude and fierce intelligence with a "I don't give a hoot if you think I am right" here it is and here are a few mathematical "proofs" to put in your stockings, attitude, that drove and motivated him. He is and academic you could point to who bucks to saying "Those who can't do, Teach". Well anyways! I applaud Mr. Al-Khalili and wish him many more years of inspired sharing to the masses or anyone who is curious enough to listen and ponder. God bless everyone. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
One of rare good videos on modern physics with a lot of boilerplate stuff but done consistently and informative. These Al-Khalili hosted videos are done in a very professional manner.
Easily one of my favorite documentaries of all time. Professor Jim is a treasure! Thank you for this.

Great Prof. Khalili! Thanks for your amazing and comprehensive lessons!
but he should keep camera more out of his face and show some animation or something about what he talks.
Aside from the mind-boggling content, the logistics of putting these shows together is equally mind-boggling: Going from a script to finding locations, setting up appointments, getting permissions to film, producing illustrative artwork, ensuring continuity, etc.
This is really cool and I love Jim Al-Khalili's voice it's perfect for documentaries!

i did not seek this one out, it was a recommendation. Conclusion: its must be a lie.
If it hasn’t been mentioned earlier, Jim got the Quantum Physics conferences right after the end of WWII mixed up just a bit. The 1947 conference was on Shelter Island, NY (Long Island) at the Rams Head Inn and the 1948 conference was at Pocono Manor in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. They were followed by the Oldstone Conference in 1949 held at Oldstone-on-the-Hudson in Peekskill, NY. The Oldstone Conference was the one in which Richard Feynman presented his approach to quantum electrodynamics (QED).
@AllenFromM -- Thank you, that's correct. Also, Feynman taught at Cornell after leaving the Manhattan Project in 1946. He spent a year teaching and learning to play Samba in Brazil, beginning in 1951, and then moved to Southern California to join Cal Tech in Pasadena.
Thank you for straightening this all out!

Jim is one of the best. Enjoy listening to you always.
Excellent....I'm always particularly impressed with the style and substance of Dr Jim Al-Khalili's presentations.
Excellent presentation.
Your respect for the field of physics is admirable, as is your ability to explain complex topics in an understandable manner. I like that you include aspects of the physicists’ lives and personalities, making them so much more relatable and interesting.
Paul Dirac,the Greatest British mind since Newton, was notoriously shy and reclusive.
Hollywood would struggle to to find drama in such a genius.
P.S.... Anyway, Physics does not need Hollywood.
Don't forget that Jim Al-Khalili is a nuclear physicist at the University of Surrey, England. He also works at CERN. His respect for physics is inherent in the path he has chosen in his life. He's a brilliant, yet humble scientist who came originally from Iraq.
I remember a good explanation of Quarks- up and down quarks I think. It goes; 2/3 + 2/3 + -1/3 = 1 a proton, and 2/3 + -1/3 + -1/3 = 0 a neutron.
The background 'music' for this SUCKS.
I do background music professionally. The first rule is that it must remain in the BACKGROUND. That's a pretty good reason for calling it 'background music'. As some points in this video e.g. 25:00 the sound efx peak the meters and surpass even the speaker's voice volume.
This video is wonderful, but it is spoiled in parts because of the 'foreground music'.
This one and the previous ones in the series. How could this have happened and no one but the audience notices it ALL the time?
@@lala99ification I think the problem of 'way too loud background music' begins in the recording studio. The producer and engineer 'mix down', i.e., combine the audio elements: announcer, music, and sound efx. Here's the problem: They're sitting in a nice, quiet studio with great speakers (usually, very high quality, expensive "bookshelf" speakers). To their ears, the sound is great and the announcer can easily be heard over the speakers in the quiet, carpeted studio. BUT, when people listen at home on cheap, crappy speakers in their phones or tablets, something happens. What happens is that a "compression" effect happens where the loud and soft parts "smoosh" together (not a technical term lol). The announcer and music get mixed together as if they were both the same volume. (I won't get into the technical reasons for this).
The bottom line is that what YOU hear on your computer is not what the producer and engineer heard in the recording studio during mixdown. Experienced studio people know that the way to compensate is to make the music much lower than they think sounds good. They KNOW this compression effect happens, so they keep the music fader super soft in the final mix.
Unfortunately for us listeners, inexperienced studio people must wait until someone like me takes a shot at them in a TH-cam comment lol. THEN, they become 'experienced' and, "voila!"... no more complaints that "you can't hear the vocal clearly".
Big THANK YOU Jim - 100s of years of maths + all the greatest names, all put into clear context - It's worrying that I THINK I understand it all

It might be an illusion but its the best thing we've got.
It certainly isn't the best we have. A string of discoveries revealed at a Science & Industry conference at Bath University in July 2019 by a High Tech Electrical Engineering company, has turned Physics on its head. This company set out to examine the Electric Sun model as opposed to the mainstream model that the Sun (& stars) are powered by an internal Thermo Nuclear power source. If the Electric Sun model (where the Sun & stars are powered by electricity from an external force much like a light bulb) could be proven. The company reasoned this may reveal new technologies! Proving the Electric Sun model during 5 years of Multi-Million Dollar tests is correct, has revealed how the atmosphere of the Sun transmutes molecules, and how Stars in reality work. This also revealed a method to "Switch off" Radiation, and in the process broke Newton's Law of Gravity (recorded visibly on film). The Discoveries also destroy Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and therefore all the other Theories that hang on it. Including; Black Holes; Dark Matter; Dark Energy; Expanding Universe; Big Bang; and a host of others.
A huge internal row within Physics is now brewing, as those Physicists who have spent their lives researching Science Fiction rather than Fact are not going to take this lying down. Indeed it could spill into Mass Media like the Prof Velikovsky incident in 1950. Velikovsky was the first proponent of the Electric Universe Theory, and dared to question Newtons Law of Gravity, so was ridiculed as a "Heretic". So this latest group of Discoveries (not Theories) proves yet more of Velikovsky's work to be correct.
Discovering how to "Switch off" radiation means a new design of "Green" Nuclear Reactor (no Radiation), is, they tell us already on the drawing board. It also means we should be able to clean up all the buried Nuclear waste and has implications for Nuclear weapons. Which will probably upset the Military.
You cannot discover new Technologies if the Science isn't correct !!!!

But on another occasion when i closed my eyes i found myself observing, again in HD 3D, the types of equations shown in your documentaries, large and elaborate far beyond my tiny brain. I recall at the time wondering if i was observing the math behind my very existence. it was a one time only event unfortunately.

I would like to see someone make a video discussing the physics breakthroughs over time but focusing on the overall view of these events as they were first brought into existence, as ideas. When the idea of an atom first came about, before it was proven, how was the idea perceived by other scientists? Is it usually the case that drastic leaps in scientific understandings are first met with great skepticism?

Discovering how to "Switch off" radiation means a new design of "Green" Nuclear Reactor (no Radiation), is they tell us, already on the drawing board. It also means we should be able to clean up all the buried Nuclear waste and has implications for Nuclear weapons. Which will probably upset the Military.
You cannot discover new Technologies if the Science isn't correct !!!!
I love the way they put up some insane equation on the screen as if I have the slightest clue how to even read it let alone calculate it!
" the most incredible aspect of the Universe is that it is credible " Albert Einstein
Hate to upset your concept of Science but Einstein is now Historical bunkum, as of July 2019:
A string of discoveries revealed at a Science & Industry conference at Bath University in July 2019 by a High Tech Electrical Engineering company, has turned Physics on its head. This company set out to examine the Electric Sun model as opposed to the mainstream model that the Sun (& stars) are powered by an internal Thermo Nuclear power source. If the Electric Sun model (where the Sun & stars are powered by electricity from an external force much like a light bulb) could be proven. The company reasoned this may reveal new technologies!
Proving the Electric Sun model during 5 years of Multi-Million Dollar tests is correct, has revealed how the atmosphere of the Sun transmutes molecules, and how Stars in reality work. This also revealed a method to "Switch off" Radiation, and in the process broke Newton's Law of Gravity (recorded visibly on film). The Discoveries also destroy Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and therefore all the other Theories that hang on it. Including; Black Holes; Dark Matter; Dark Energy; Expanding Universe; Big Bang; and a host of others.
A huge internal row within Physics is now brewing, as those Physicists who have spent their lives researching Science Fiction rather than Fact are not going to take this lying down. Indeed it could spill into Mass Media like the Prof Velikovsky incident in 1950. Velikovsky was the first proponent of the Electric Universe Theory, and dared to question Newtons Law of Gravity, so was ridiculed as a "Heretic". So this latest group of Discoveries (not Theories) proves yet more of Velikovsky's work to be correct.

Stop bitching.
@@TheDuke-vb9cq Any references? Links? Or did you just get this from a website.
The series are very interesting, the music is disturbing overlapping the informal speaker voice. Please minimize the effects of music to entertain / educate with facts
Thanks
Warning: Avoid electrons. They're always so negative. (I also have some nuetron jokes to can have. No charge.)
Hi Hungry, I’m Dad
Good one
That's why we can't trust atoms.
Warning: do not take protons seriously, they postulate everything
That was quarky
Simply explained but difficult to understand mind-bending indeed
I never understand the content of these videos, but find them so fascinating!
It’s like trying to have a conversation in a club but you can’t hear the person talking because the music is TOO LOUD!! Ok Dj Turn down for what
An ordinary drinking straw can solve this
I've always found physics hard to picture and abstract. But Dr. Jim Al-Khalili explains some of the most mind-blowing discoveries and equations so well! Brilliant
and again the sound technician slaughtered the poor sound…
Learned after 30 years producing: Never have the same person COMPOSE the Music, that EDITS the final piece. They think the show or documentary or film -IS ABOUT THEIR MUSIC! ;")
Oddly, my audio was great...
Based on recent horrible audio from other videos, always by the same channel, I thought it was that channel's upload error. Now, I venture it is a TH-cam playback error.
Same
@@lourias have you checked what TH-cam’s broadcast standards are ? Just a question from a former dubbing mixer.
I always enjoyed watching this guy. I hope he's doing well. I really enjoyed all the documentaries Prof. Jim is in.
Fantastic narration that entertains and explains. Keep up the great work Jim!
I love this documentary. It doesn't explain everything but it comes close to what the human mind is capable of, and the explanations are very clear. We still may have a lot more to learn, bit this takes us to the edge of what we know today.
The unnecessary sound effects are a spine grating distraction.
Shhhhhhh. Let the human do what he wants to do.
Not as much as the adverts that butt in everywhere✌🏽

Excellent! This video puts the development of 20th century physics in perspective, and explains such complex subjects so clearly. This is the best video I've seen on the subject!
Fascinating subject, and very well presented. Shows how deeply we rely on
maths to understand our world, and at some point we have to interpret what those
mathematical equations mean in a physical sense.
Check out Edgar Cayce. There are other planes beside the earth plane.

Other comments to the contrary, I found the documentary interesting, enlightening, and thought-provoking. The music and extraneous video that some people seem to find annoying, or distracting are, I think, commendable efforts to illustrate sonically and graphically concepts that are undefinable. This is, after all, scientific entertainment; without these elements we would be left with a classroom lecture - and a tedious one, at that. The concepts presented, suggested, or hinted at spark curiosity, which, in turn, is a catalyst to thought, thought to theory, theory to experiment, experiment to revelation, revelation to enlightenment, enlightenment to understanding until, of course, a new equation destroys the physical/mathematical certainties upon which it, itself, is based. I would not be surprised, at all to learn that a quark is either the container of another universe or (I can only imagine the fury this proposition will engender) God.

Fury or not, 'magically bursting forth are quarks spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light, forming what are called protons and neutrons'. I found these words in the book "The Quantum World" written by the physicist Kenneth Ford.
Eternal, electromagnetic, holographic, multidimentional energy beings we are, vibrating as God. I found these words in the book "Hands of Light" written by the physicist Barbara Brennan. You can see pictures of what we look like out of these bodies as energy beings and holograms. Brennan has built a college system teaching this.
Speculation is free, worlds within worlds, everything is possible, and absolutely nothing is real. And very soon you realise that words have become meaningless.
@Mission Lights Is annoying people's ears substantial to copyright purposes? I think it's just stoopid. If you don't want it out, just keep it in and let my ears alone...
ALL THEORITICAL IMAGINATION OF COURSE.
what is with the banging gongs, trying to understand here
Tao of physics

what a mind astonishing documentary it is!!!! loved it
I agree!
Brilliant absolutely brilliant, jim. Truth never spoken better
