As a child I was not allowed to study physics, it was a case of ‘only study what you’ve already scored highly on’ rather than subjects that excited me - without physics I just didn’t get any sense out of chemistry either (maybe it was just bad teaching, who knows now?) but, at a couple of weeks off 70 years old I’m still fascinated and learning all I can. As a child I remember clinging to the saddle of an out of control, galloping horse and another time being chased by a dog and gamekeeper through the whipping twigs of a forest and later laughing out loud and shedding tears of delight at the birth of my sons and, you know, watching this video delivered up bits of all that rolled into one. Thank you so very much, will have to watch this again and again. Absolutely knackered now 😄

I've definitely not had any intoxicating substances to enhance my viewing pleasure of this mind bending video in any way shape or form.
-
The repulsive force of 2 protons in a nucleus is 20lbs. That's unbelievable. And the strong force is a hundred times stronger!!! That certainly helps bring into perspective the type of energy bound up in atoms. That is probably the most profound piece of information I've acquired in years!!
-
I really like this. These fundamental concepts are not often discussed deeply like this at one shot. Bravo. Well organized.
-
I hope that one day (soon) more people will truly understand what an absolute privilege it is to be alive and to be part of our magical and wonderful universe...our planet would be a much better place (jmho). When I was a child my physics teacher told me that all the atoms in my body came from different stars and I was "hooked on" our amazing universe. I thank you for this informative, fun, and beautiful upload...and I hope that our universe is kind to you all 🌎☮

40 secs in and you have already given me existential crisis
-
Fantastic explanation at a good pace. Very helpful to get clarity on so many things in one go, at atomic level
-
This video gives a description of particles that seems to be relatively coherent, logical and easy to understand. Even though I got my atomic physics education a LONG TIME AGO (60 yrs), it was recent enough for me to see how this newer & more complex system features blends and extends beyond what I remember of my past atomic theory. I think this presentation is one of the VERY BEST I've listened to. KUDOS! You've done a wonderful job to make a text that even an 85 yo brain can digest! THANK YOU SIRS!
-
The electrons circling around the nucleos 24/7 Wow! That requires a lots of energy.
-
Im obsessed with this subject, and this hit a perfect depth and pace. Wonderful
-
WOW! these documentaries are the most thoroughly detailed videos ever and I have been watching these kind of documentaries for almost 40 years!
-
Quite a comprehensive overview from fundamental particles to the Cosmo into our very own existence and after life. More importantly, to me that is, I'm glued to the screen and surprisingly understand. Great job and keep up the good work. From Hong Kong

Thank you, I really think I learned something, ...I think. Highly interesting and informative. Now, I'll just have to give myself time to ponder these thoughts and give my molecules time to calm down and return to vibrating harmonically again, as they are in a very excited state right now. Great stuff!
-
This is a fantastic video that makes everything crystal clear to any atomic scientist.
-
I have to listen to this several more times. I love it. You have opened a world of marvelous curious knowledge i would have never know if wasnt for this video as my world revolves around a different science. I am so thankful for this knowledge. I want more of this trivia, and explanations. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Excellent video, in one hour you described most of physics, most comprehensive video I saw until now…. I think that from any sentence in this video someone can make a one hour video… 😊 really good explanation without so many sentences, brief and brilliant.
-
This is fascinating and full of intriguing questions. I enjoyed that, my atoms are well and truly jiggled now 😊
-
After watching this fantastic video end to end, I am a bit more knowledgeable, though I admit, I have to watch this for atleast a few more times to get more understanding. As I watched this hour long video, few doubts arose but since I failed to pause and jot down these, I will pen down my doubts after I watch a second or third time. Brilliant work, soothing voice and simple explanation to a complexity which mankind has yet to grasp.

The awe of our universe at the atomic level with music to enhance the experience.
-
Every time I watch videos about physics I’m reminded why I love Chemistry so much. Physics is like space magic. It’s a miracle the universe exists.
