O físico J. Robert Oppenheimer trabalha com uma equipa de cientistas durante o Projeto Manhattan, levando ao desenvolvimento da bomba atómica.

O documentarista Errol Morris tem a destreza para encontrar as fascinantes peculiaridades dos seus temas, e isto dá vida ao livro de Stephen Hawking, “Uma Breve História do Tempo”. Através de entrevistas a familiares e colegas do brilhante físico teórico, assim como às leituras sintetizadas e reminiscências de Hawking, ficamos a conhecer a sua vida quando mais novo, a sua luta contra uma doença degenerativa EAL (esclerose amiotrófica lateral), e as suas vastas contribuições para o nosso conhecimento do tempo, buracos negros e a origem do universo. A ciência nunca será de importância menor; entre a prosa de Hawking e a mestria visual de Morris, conceitos importantes como a entropia e as singularidades saltam do ecrã em memoráveis características. A música de Philip Glass, subtil e minimalista, contrabalança os alternados estados de espírito sombrios e cómicos do filme.

Brought together by a mysterious song, a grad student and an engineer lead the fight against an unimaginable force that may spell doom for the world.

Felix Winterberg is the great-great-grandson of the famous Albert Einstein and himself a recognized physics genius. Because of a deadly hereditary disease, the brilliant researcher only has a few years left - which he wants to make as labor-intensive as possible thanks to various illegal stimulants.

Physics genius Li Tian is focused on his investigation of a special type of energy. However, his mother Mei Xue Yan, a famous musician, gets embroiled in a mysterious car accident in Japan. Li Tian heads to Japan alone, but he never expected to fall into an intricate trap set up by a crime organisation. The man behind the scene manipulate Li Tian and uses advanced technology to commit a series of crimes. In Japan, Li Tian meets the bubbly Zhang Ni, as well as the investigation officer responsible for the case - Shan Qi. The three of them form a special investigation team and traces the incident back to a mysterious band twenty years ago. They also found Fu Bu Jie, a reporter who has been investigating the band for many years. A huge conspiracy which links back to a dark secret involving Li Tian's parents awaits them.

Crash Course Physics is set up to be supplemental if you’re taking a class in the topic, or to give you an introduction if you’re just naturally curious. They tend to go fast, but the beauty of putting these on YouTube is you can back up and watch it again and again to make sure you’re grokking everything going on.

We live in a world ablaze with colour. Rainbows and rainforests, oceans and humanity, Earth is the most colourful place we know of. But the colours we see are far more complex and fascinating than they appear. In this series, Dr Helen Czerski uncovers what colour is, how it works, and how it has written the story of our planet - from the colours that transformed a dull ball of rock into a vivid jewel to the colours that life has used to survive and thrive. But the story doesn't end there - there are also the colours that we can't see, the ones that lie beyond the rainbow. Each one has a fascinating story to tell.

Professor Brian Cox goes on a grand tour of the planet to explain how the Earth's beauty is created by just a handful of forces.

While the terms "quantum physics" and "Theory of Relativity" are used casually every day, not many people know what they really mean. Yet these theories have had a profound impact not only on science and technology, but also on our world view. This intriguing 6-part documentary series explores the concepts of physics from familiar theories, such as Newton's Law of Gravity, to the latest in scientific research, like string theory and M-theory. By connecting all of this research with the medium of light, we can gain a deeper understanding not only of our immediate reality, but of the unseen realities that are hidden beyond our perception. Starting with Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Physics of Light explores the true nature of light, peers inside the atom, and looks ahead to the most cutting edge theories in physics.

Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe-that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists-just might be wrong.

One of the most ambitious and exciting theories ever proposed—one that may be the long-sought "theory of everything," which eluded even Einstein—gets a masterful, lavishly computer-animated explanation from bestselling author-physicist Brian Greene, when NOVA presents the nuts, bolts, and sometimes outright nuttiness of string theory.

The story of the discovery that everything is made from atoms, one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history, and the brilliant minds behind it.
