ATOM
The discovery that everything is made from atoms has been referred to as the greatest scientific breakthrough in history. As scientists delved deep into the atom, they unravelled nature's most shocking secrets and abandoned traditional beliefs, leading to a whole new science which still underpins modern physics, chemistry and biology, and maybe even life itself. Nuclear physicist Professor Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of this discovery and the brilliant minds behind the breakthrough.
The second part of Professor Jim Al-Khalili's three-part documentary about the basic building block of our universe, the atom. He shows how, in our quest to understand the tiny atom, we unravelled the mystery of how the universe was created - a story with dramatic twists and turns, taking in world-changing discoveries like radioactivity, the atom bomb and the Big Bang, as the greatest brains of the 20th century competed to answer the biggest questions of all.
The final part of Professor Jim Al-Khalili's documentary series about the basic building block of our universe, the atom. He explores how studying the atom forced us to rethink the nature of reality itself, discovers how there might be parallel universes in which different versions of us exist and finds out that 'empty' space isn't empty at all. Al-Khalili shows how the world we think we know turns out to be a tiny sliver of an infinitely weirder universe than which we could have conceived.
Interesting documentary but the overwrought soundtrack renders it almost unwatchable!
If only the rest of us with useful and/or useless theories could get paid for coming up with such useless and/or useful theories like some of these so called scientists do.
Are we truly better off knowing any of this? Discovering nuclear bombs, polluting the planet with vehicle emissions, GMO foods, pesticides, herbicides, and other cancer causing compounds.
It all seems a distraction from what really is important. A method to deny God to be your own god. The marxist maneuver to supplant God with science as a means for the elites to feel justified in forcing the peons to do their will, "because they can buy science that supports whatever they claim should be." "And if that's what the science shows, and if you have FAITH in science, then you must follow it."
Have faith ye in the blind atom! With it we shall show ye whatever serves our purposes at the time!
Beam me to a nice island no govt nor scientist knows or cares about, thank you.
If pennies are the building blocks of the dollar ...you cannot find a half penny unless you cut one in half and then it is not spendable at the normal stores ...then atoms are NOT the building blocks of the universe.
What of the particles Tesla describes as carrying charge? Electrons as the fools who teach the teachers teach us? Not at all. Much smaller particles. It was Tesla's opinion that it was likely that electrons hinder the flow of electricity. So then are electrons one of the building blocks of atoms? Or are they just a coagulated group of stuff, a cloud, that we have named and put into a framework called an "atom"? And what part of the atom accounts for the smaller particles Tesla spoke of? And why would I put much more stock in things Tesla said and wrote than a THEORETICAL physicist? Because he did actual experiments and trusted the work of some others like himself who did actual accurate experimentation disproving some of the claims for the basis of theories still taught to this day.
Mu mesons are said to be so small that when they fall to earth they pass right through the spaces between your atoms and keep on going. Could it be that atoms are just a convenient way point in which to describe a useful framework, when such particles may go down to infinitely small particles, which are the true building blocks? And what if by chance these infinitely small particles are like an ether, a spirit of substance which can be commanded by the wave output of the brain of some person or entity that knows how or is able to turn on and use the rest of their brain?
More than one energy device inventor has found that their device that worked well enough in their workshop, fails to work when demonstrating it outside of their workshop. To the point the explanation is that the force of faith in what the inventor is doing is alive and well and permeates their workshop which imparts energy into the device. That energetic force is diminished outside by many other factors. Clearly these were marginal devices but this occurrence suggest there is much more to this world than a "student" thinking they know most everything after attending a few classes or reading a few books by physicists, whose theories often fly in the face of other theories and/or experimentation. The more recent cosmology documentary "The Principle" regarding Copernicus and much more, demonstrates that quite well. What if a theory doesn't need black holes to plug holes in their theory of cosmology and how things move? Such a theory exists.
Here is a question or a few for the so called scientists (who often fail to follow scientific principles such as dumping their world view caused by theory(s) which no longer can be supported by the evidence): Unless one has lived an extremely sheltered life or in full denial, it is clear that good and evil exist. What was their origin? The big bang? And how so, if rocks, plants, and lower animals are neither bad nor good, "they just are". Did jealousy come with the big bang also? I've seen a dog jealous of another dog. Watched a documentary where a female gorilla killed another one in the same group who did not threaten or challenge her. When discovered, it seems there was a discussion as to whether to kick her out of the group or not by the remaining gorillas. Does not the universe contain ALL that is in it as part of natural "science"? And what of mind over matter? If brain waves can be measured, then they are able to affect some sensor that measures them. What else can they affect? And what of the successful telepathic experiments of Admiral Byrd while at Antarctica? What building block atom did these telepathic messages use to reach the mainland usa at the scheduled time? Or are atoms really the building blocks?
Folks, science and religion are different things. Religion in whatever form is as old as the world we are living in. Agnostics or atheists or scientific comments cannot solve the riddle of the universe. Brushing God aside and looking for answer is counter productive.
Punder over this: If there was a big bang explosion, what caused it in the first place without the presence of atoms? If atoms is responsible, from where did it comes from?
The simple answer is found in the Bible. Period. Genesis chapter 1 verse 1. With humans limited understanding, one cannot and will not understand what actually happened before the "beginning".
all of the comments are on god and science.
in my opinion they connected not by nature
by our human nature.
i explain it.
gods are made by humans
on one see them never
simply in science the beginning of every thing no one see it ever.

Drive-by observation (rhetorical question): why are so many of you putting such effort into making a logical debate with (who are imho) obvious trolls that are here to egg you on with religious non-sense? Do yourself a favor and simply ignore them. (ie: please don't feed the trolls)
For those religious people who think that the big-bang indicates a divine creation, you aren't seeing the whole picture. It's a shame and unfortunate that most pop-sci implies that the big bang was 'the' beginning of 'the' universe and here lies the misconception. They do this for the sake of simplification so they can fit the information into a documentary, to keep it on a level that the average person can understand and I suspect that it is also to appeal to religion and bring it on-side with science instead of rejecting it on a basis of something we still don't really know.
Besides, scientists don't much like to talk about stuff that can't be proven. That includes what came before the big-bang or what is beyond our observable universe. These are not constructive questions as far as science is concerned (so far), so it is ignored. Science likes facts and there are no facts to corroborate what came before or what is outside. For all we know at this point, the previous universe was made of cotton candy and the space beyond our universe is filled with green jello.
It took me a long time and much digging to find the answer. Even as a very scientific mind, I questioned this stuff myself for many, many years because it really doesn't make much sense on the surface. What isn't being clarified is that the big-bang was the beginning of 'our' universe. Not 'the' universe. In fact, there are many theories that try to go beyond the big-bang but at least so far, it's purely speculative.
When you know more about this stuff and think hard enough about it, then ultimately we have to come to the conclusion that the universe is infinite in space and time. This means there was no true beginning. When science is speaking of the big bang, they are speaking of the beginning of a new cycle/era. Look up the big bounce or many-worlds theories, just for starters.
Even the idea that the universe was once smaller than the smallest parts of an atom, is a misconception. We don't know that. We can only speculate based on what evidence we have and on mathematical models. We can say that we know our universe was once much smaller, because of observations and if you extrapolate that even further using our current math models, then eventually you run into a mathematical singularity (which btw, is a mathematical error and suggests that we don't have the whole picture yet).
Any idea where I can buy the DVDs?
i have knew what we believe in and what not but the real story which is of hell are we in the right side or the left of burning fire that we bond us to dive in and risk how life god is the key how we been brought to this world and how we given us a happier lives to live and god give us a roof to live in and a family to raise me as growing up i have learned a lot why did i come to earth how am going to be alive or when is my time to go heaven but you have do good things to reach your full experiences and become what your need to be and always call out to god if in your trouble or pray to find a way which the door well open the light for you to enter heaven and not hell
Before the bang: In the beginning before the Big Bang, there was a master Devil who got an illusion to finish God almighty once and for all so he hurled the largest matter ever at God with all his might, forgetting that God has the largest matter and power without limit. God therefor acted in kind but with the largest size and force than the devil with the intention to create our universe and us, human being. The power and force of God has no ending, that's why our universe will expand forever with the power of God in the form of dark energy and dark matter . The two objects collided in the largest bang ever, matters exploded in all direction spreading and expanding with the power of God creating dusts and the smallest particles since then that we observe today with all size of matters. The universe therefore come to existence once and will never happen again. This is why it banged. This happened with a Grand design.God made Devil to do it.
This is a very fine documentary the leaves the viewer with an understanding of the profound discoveries made by human beings using only their intellect and powers of observation.
For anyone interested in atomic physics, this is a great documentary that gives terrific explanations, by covering the history of who and what led up to today's modern scientific understanding.
It should also be noted that for anyone who is skeptical regarding certain aspects of what we think we know today, may find solace that many theories are duplicitous in nature, and are merely arbitrary choices that we accept as a singular truth, which it is not! Check it out, it is a very enjoyable watch.
God exists as a psychological construct in the mind of people, and as such it has a great impact. The idea of God exists and is a powerful one, this far can be said without doubt.
Earth was somehow created, and the universe somehow came to existence. If somebody wants to call this principle of creation "God", they're probably free to do so. But if someone decides to invent, or "see in a dream" that some conscious supernatural being did it all, without having any evidence, even if anyone is free to believe it, they should never try to force this idea into others... and they should recognise that the incredible achievements in science were possible only because some people were able to put dogma aside, forget all the old assumptions, and just look at things instead of talking about things.
Science. Science is cool. Without science, you wouldn't be reading this. Without science, I would have died as a baby. My father would be dead too. I am grateful for the effort of humankind to advance science and allow me to live, and I am grateful to all who use science to help make the world a more awesome place.
Only 3mins into The Clash of the Titans.
Ludwig Boltzmann, Science God, Austrian not German, died September 5th not October... C'mon BBC either you know something we don't or you need to sort your s**t out :).
Atom and Eve...
I'd rather burn in hell for all eternity than be a lame religious fool
VERY IMPORTANT READ THIS...
let me tell you...listen..think deeply about all the parts of our body how complicated it is,the dna ,genes,heart and all .. ...man how can we can say that god is not there..let me give you a simple example the beginning of earth ..the earth which we live is placed in such a perfect spot that instead if our earth was placed in place of even mars or Venus we wouldn't have water in liquid form...without which we couldn't have survived .... about the temperature if earth was in place of venus too hot couldn't survive or instead of mars too cold couldn't survive......who put all of this in the correct place ...is it a coincidence? the chances are 1 in a billion..... think about it...there are millions of example to prove god is there..
why is it hard for you digest the fact that there is a superior power....man no matter how much science advances ..it cannot explain the basic fact of how much a mother loves a son...can science calculate love ? Guys when will u guys wake up....
some ppl don't believe in god because they are mislead by the wrong religion... I am a Muslim....guys just take a effort to read the Quran (holy book).. it will hardly take a month...Man just think how many books have u read in yr life time ...how many movies have u watched..juz spare some time to read this ..english translation(all languages translation) is available in the quran...read it and if still ur not satisfied dont follow islam..simple as that...but trust me brothers and sister all the answers to your question is answered in the quran....
GOD is great..
And whether particles are created anywhere to fill this vacuum? Im not sure what im asking is correct or not.
I have a doubt. If universe is expanding, then whether vacuum is getting increased?
For every effect there is a cause:
Where did the atom, universe, time came from?
Science, unlike dogma, is a self correcting process which aims to describe in the best possible way anything to do with nature and its processes. It has no bias, it does not care about feelings or egos, it either proves a theory right through experiments or it demolishes it. If the experiments do not agree with the results implied by the theory it no longer can be considered a theory and it is thus discarded. Simple.
Religion, on the other hand, has an agenda. It requires of its followers (sheep) to obey, even in the teeth of evidence to the contrary, whatever nonsense it publishes through its unmovable bronze age book. It cannot change, therefore the whole universe has to be adapted to suit its version of the "truth". Talk about arrogance....
The "open minded" religious community cannot simply be happy wallowing in their utter ignorance but they also want you to join their club. Thanks for the kind offer but you can shove it up your rectum right next to were your head is.
I'll take my chances with the also made up hell.
To quote Epicurus (Greek philosopher):
"If god is willing to stop evil but unable, he is not omnipotent. If he is able but not willing he is malevolent. If he is neither able nor willing then why call him god?"
interesting, Lady Storm, the "invisible" is on all levels I take it, not just the (meta-)physical. Accepting the indescribable without assuming that it therefore does not exist is the starting place for being open and teachable. As I see it, scientific pragmatism loses it's way at this point and often descends into pointless derogatory comments: long worn out phrases like "if God was good he would not allow suffering..." and all those other platitudes. I will look at your website....
God is a word to describe something that is indescribable it is not male nor female it just is. It is the invisible that is part of the visible. For me I prefer to call God "the Source of being". What ever that means I don't know it just is "for me".
Religion is a human made explanation of the unexplainable and so Zoons you are obviously correct to point out the incompatabilities. What you or I believe about "God" is irrelevant in the extreme because the God you don't believe in does not exist any more than my belief in the existence of a "God" makes him/her/it a reality. Evolution is a model not an anti-religeous statement. Again, there is no compatability on the surface. I don't have "religion" because I see it as anti-God. It compartmentalises that which is utterley beyond human comprehension. Nevertheless I recognize, for want of a better word, the high probability of the supernatural.
NOT that which is scientifically "unexplainable". To pretend that science is the proof of human intellectual prowess and transcendence over what atheists call superstition is just the same as the nonsense spouted by those idiots purporting to "prove" the existence of their own pet God using intelligent design or some other half-baked stupidity invented merely to ease the pain of not knowing. This "unknowing" is in fact the core of real spirituality and until a human ego frees itself of it's own arrogant belief in it's own pragmatism, "God" can never be experienced. When, however, it is experienced, no proof, discussion or "belief" is required. Do you see the paradox? A discussion involving both "God" and "science" is therefore very much needed because once really grasped, it is seen that they are one and the same...and more...
