Jim Al-Khalili, the head of theoretical nuclear physics at the University of Surrey, brings absorbing and accessible views on the development of fundamental physics ideas to the screen for both non-scientists and scientists.
Even if you already have a strong science interest/background, this captivating mini-series offers a different take on many familiar and not-so familiar names (Einstein, Bhor, Curie, Rutherford), their relationships and key events that makes it well worth viewing.
In this three-part documentary series, Professor Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever: that the material world is made up of atoms.
