Watch Secrets of Quantum Physics

Secrets of Quantum Physics is a fascinating and educational series from XiveTV, which explores and illuminates the secrets of the quantum world. Presented by renowned physicist Professor Jim Al-Khalili, the show's aim is to explain the seemingly inexplicable behaviour of the subatomic realm. In a world where atoms and particles move in seemingly erratic ways, this show attempts to demystify the physics behind it.

The series consists of two episodes: "Einstein's Nightmare" and "Let There Be Life". These episodes feature Professor Al-Khalili visiting scientists and laboratories around the world to unravel mysteries of quantum physics. He explains how the rules of the world at the smallest scale can dictate the fate of entire galaxies and the origins of life on Earth.

In the first episode, "Einstein's Nightmare", the focus is on the work of Albert Einstein and his contemporaries. When Einstein developed his theory of general relativity, he realized that it did not explain the behaviour of everything in the universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, was successful in making predictions about the quantum world, but Einstein famously dismissed it, saying "God does not play dice". The first episode explores the various experiments and theories in quantum physics that Einstein and his colleagues developed, including the famous thought-experiments of Schr

Secrets of Quantum Physics is a series that ran for 1 seasons (2 episodes) between January 1, 2015 and on XiveTV
