BBC: Atom: The Illusion of Reality

BBC DOCUMENTARY :ATOM - The illusion of reality:

In 1912 ,In the Hot Air Balloon about three miles above the ground was an austrain scientist called Victor Hess who made an astonishing discovery in Science. Up there Victor found incredible rays of energy coming from outer space. It was so powerful than any other radiation ever seen before. They were called Cosmic rays. At the same time in the earth scientists were studying about powerful radiations pouring out from the interior of the atoms , called as radioactive rays. The mysterious rays form vast emptiness of space and mysterious rays from deep within the atoms. No one thought there would be connections between the two. But a mind blowing discovery was made, saying there are connections between the cosmic rays and the radioactive rays within the atoms. This revolutionized science. Everyone should take a look at this amazing documentary.

Professor Jim Al-Khalili's documentary series about the basic building block of our universe, the atom.  Al-Khalili explores how studying the atom forced us to rethink the nature of reality itself, encountering ideas that seem like they are from science fiction but in fact are a central part of modern science. He discovers that there might be parallel universes in which different versions of us exist and finds out that empty space is not empty at all, but seething with activity.  The world we think we know - the solid, reassuring world of our senses - turns out to be a tiny sliver of an infinitely weirder and more wonderful universe than we had ever conceived in our wildest fantasies.

BBC: Atom: The Key to the Cosmos

As we gaze up the heavens, we ask the question where we have come form, how the stars were made, how the universe begun. The mankinds greatest achievements is that we have answered all these questions. And these answers come from the study of smallest building block of matter, ATOM. Atoms have solved the greatest mysteries of the universe. And This documentary shows that how it had happened.

The second in 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. It's a story with dramatic twists and turns, taking in world-changing discoveries like radioactivity, the atom bomb and the big bang. All this forms part of an epic narrative in which the greatest brains of the 20th century competed to answer the biggest questions of all - why are we here and how were we made?
