The great 19th-century Austrian physicist, Ludwig Boltzmann was one of the most important proponents of the idea that all matter is made of atoms.

Today no one doubts this is true but in Boltzmann's day it was a controversial idea and many of his contemporaries disagreed with him. But Boltzmann used brilliant mathematical arguments to show that many aspects of the world we observe, like the behavior of heat, can be explained if one accepts that atoms are real.

    Prof. Jim is right up there with Brian Cox, as one of the most engaging and inspiring teachers of our time

    I just revised my second law of thermodynamics at my age 91. In my college days I worked a lot with Entropy when working on steam cycle. I also happened to visit Fusion laboratory in Oxfordshire on a College trip and was intrigued by a 700 ton flywheel was used to give a sudden burst of energy required for Fusion experimement. I read scientists are gradually aproaching the temperature required for sustained fusion. Great lectureby Prof. Al Khalili.

    Years ago I watched these series and they actually blew my tiny little mind and I feel like my life since then has been perpetually falling down this rabbit hole over and over and over.
  • @SysterEuropa
    This is one of the best and most beautiful documentaries on science in existence today.
  • @alexmoore432
    He has a unique way of explaining relatively complex and difficult to explain ideas and processes so that they become accessible
  • @garysday
    Everything Jim writes or creates is simply awesome !
  • This is probably the best documentary channel on youtube right now. Always excited when they upload!

    I have concluded one thing. Discovery requires a tremendous amount of thinking.
