Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Why is Quantum Gravity so hard?

A pressing question in our quest to understand the Universe is how to unify quantum mechanics and gravity, the very small and the very large.

Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

"Matters of Scale" - Complete Episode

The issues of scale are investigated – from how properties change at very small scales, to the vastness of the Universe. Includes parts 1, 2 and 3.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

"Origins" - Complete Episode

The subject of origins is explored - from human fertilisation to the Big Bang. Includes parts 1, 2 and 3.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

"Matters of Scale" Part 1 - Extremes of Scale

Professors Pedro Ferreira and Alan Barr explain what scale means to them, from particle physics to the visible universe. At the subatomic level, gravity has a surprisingly large effect and particles are so small that they have no size.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

"Origins" Part 2 - Origins of Earth and the Solar System

Professor Alex Halliday explains how planets form from nothing but an area of space full of dust. Tiny differences between the elements that make up meteorites can give you an idea of how old they are and which part of the solar system they came from.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

"Origins" Part 1 - Origins of the Universe

Professor Jo Dunkley explains how we can look back in time at the light from the early Universe. This ultra-cold light can be used to create a picture from soon after the Big Bang.
General Philosophy

2.3 Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton

Part 2.3. An introduction to Robert Boyle's theory of corpuscularianism and Isaac Newton's ideas on mathematics and the universe.
