Richard Feynman's Messenger Lectures

Bill Gates purchased these Messenger Video Lectures and put these 7 video lectures online for free. Feynman talks about the law of gravitation, the relation of mathematics and physics, the great conservation principles, symmetry in physics, the distinction of past and future, probability and uncertainty, the quantum mechanical view of nature, and seeking of new laws.

Richard Feynman Describes the "Fun to Imagine"

Feynman puts it right, if you devote a lot of time to studies, you become a scientist. He also tries to describe how scientists think. Then he describes how he tried to count at the same time and do other things.

Richard Feynman Explains Why Train Stays on the Tracks



You thought the train stays on the tracks because of flanges on the wheels? Not so. Turns out the wheels are thinner on the inside and thicker on the outside. That prevents the train to slip off the tracks.

Young Albert Einstein

A video of young Albert Einstein at school. His teacher says that the God is evil because he created everything, also he created evil, and therefore he's evil. Albert disproves his professor.

Schrödinger's Cat Explained

A video on the Schroedinger cat's paradox in quantum physics.

Magnet Meets Magnetic Flux

Called ferrofluid, these are basically tiny iron particles that are covered with a liquid coating; a wetting agent is used to give it a liquid look. When influenced by a strong magnetic field, the ferrofluid quickly changes phases, as you'll see after the break.

Michio Kaku on Multiverse and Parallel Universes

Scientific observations from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite suggests that we are living not in a Universe but in a Multivese, where baby universes get born and we are located in one of them.

The Coming Revolutions in Theoretical Physics (UC Berkeley)

David Gross, most known for asymptotic theory of quarks talks about the upcoming revolutions in theoretical physics in areas such as the string theory, the unified field theory and cosmology.

100 Greatest Physics Discoveries

The video answers questions such as: How the Universe works? What holds matter together and what is this strange force, gently enough to make an apple fall yet powerful enough to lock the moon in captive orbit? Our need to understand has inspired humankind's greatest discoveries. From unleashing the fearsome power of the atom. To uncovering the nature of light itself. To revealing the forces that hold our entire universe together. These are the greatest discoveries in Physics. It includes topics such as The Law of Falling Bodies, Universal Gravitation, Laws of Motion, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Special Relativity, Einstein's E=mc2, Light and Particles.

Discovery of Carbon-60 (buckminsterfullerene, fullerene)

This is a documentary about the discovery of C60, the fullerene. It's the largest molecule that physicists have observed interference on.
