BBC - Everything and Nothing= youtube

[Ichingcarpenter]

Two-part 2011 documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing?
In two epic, surreal and mind-expanding films, Professor Jim Al-Khalili searches for an answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.

The first part, Everything, sees Professor Al-Khalili set out to discover what the universe might actually look like. The journey takes him from the distant past to the boundaries of the known universe. Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy.


I like this guy's documentaries you might like them too.I know
you might not see this anywhere on TV. Sometimes they get removed from youtube but this has been there since spring.
Its 60 mins and no playlist.

5. I think for me the Heisenberg uncertainly principle

was explained to the novice in the clearest terms that
one can understand...... Its in the second series on nothing.

I would have loved to be able to have taken a class from that guy.
