Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever: quantum physics.
The story of quantum physics starts at the beginning of the 20th century with scientists trying to better understand how light bulbs work. This simple question soon led scientists deep into the hidden workings of matter, into the sub-atomic building blocks of the world around us. Here they discovered phenomena unlike any encountered before – a realm where things can be in many places at once, where chance and probability call the shots and where reality appears to only truly exist when we observe it.
Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance. Jim reveals how in the 1930’s, Einstein thought he’d found a fatal flaw in quantum physics. This was not taken seriously until it was tested in the 1960s. Professor Al-Khalili repeats this critical experiment, posing the question does reality really exist, or do we conjure it into existence by the act of observation?
Elsewhere, we explore how the most famous law of quantum physics – The Uncertainty Principle – is obeyed by plants and trees as they capture sunlight during the vital process of photosynthesis. Could quantum mechanics explain the greatest mystery in biology – evolution?

Comparatively, this is the best documentary.
Listening with the nose… Mind blown
Does that mean the wiggle from the sperm is what causes movement in the eggs to multiply…… life…
At some places you have the music so loud, I can't understand a word he is saying.
Contrary to what you have been told, humans can be taught to navigate by the Earth's magnetic field.
This has already been proven!
I just having a theory, sound travel as a wave because there is air no air no sound right.
So what if light and electron travel on wave material…
13:31 Blulululululululululu-BOP!
Has anyone tried his exp that he did at the begining with the rotating red and green circle while shooting it and it stayed the same the whole time just wondering.
lol my takeaway from this video is you have an amazing imagination. That's the only thing I found that takes me from 'we have absolutely no idea' to 'quantum entanglement is the cause for everything we can't otherwise answer'…
I like the ending like he isn't the smart person discussing quantum and evolution just seconds ago
Is quantum entanglement, concerning the real life dart/green/red conclusion actually true? Or was the model set up, just to show, HOW it works. There is no way..that .if I, in real life, set up that exact model…then aim a dart at the first board…and hit red…that the second dart I throw…will hit red every single time after that! Surely this is just a mdel showing HOW it works. Confused! Please help…
Quantum Physics is my proof that we're living in a simulation.
I realize the Quantum Physics has a significant relationship with my research! The whole universe is amazing because they work as one system but individual relation…
My eyes see orange and green, why? Do viruses start with out of balance quantum physics.
. Searching to repair / return balance.
22:32 me after my morning coffee
Einstein: I was wrong. I got it. Move on already…
Wow thank you for all these smashing documentaries. It makes me carrying on studying science.
Quantum relativity and Biodiversity. Amazeballs.
Drinking game: Every time he says "Mysterious", take a shot.
this dude's awesome, and this docco is so well done and so bloody fascinating,
I'd watch 10 hours of this,
cheers whoever made it happen,
oh n thanks you tube premium
cheap hobbie
Imagine what's going on in our bodies, specially in our brains, on a quantum level.
The best thing i found on Amazon prime today
A freind wants to know what frequency does shit vibrate at because he has just farted.
Looking into the mind of God.
Here is a theory that explains quantum physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwTVN1tnkqo&t
