The Story Of Science E02 - What Is The World Made Of 1 of 6

[Lephrenic]

Write that down in your copybook.

9:15 is fantasmagorical

The world is probably not "made" of anything. But I guess that remark is just one about semantics...

[jqs1943]

Sciences are fragmentations of all of the realities of nature that aren't yet fully conquered or completelly understood. Many of these sciences have evolved from theories of an abstract imaginary plane that fail to complement those things that trully are a complement to reality rather than from observation and proof. Everything has an obvious truth when viewed with devotion and pure scrutiny, or a false and misleading representation when taken for granted.

[jqs1943]

Energy exists as an ethereal inactive entity, as an active radiation, or in an inert solid mass. Planet earth, as all other planets exists as a compound of intrinsic lattices of matter that was created and evolved in the same fashion as all other planets at a rate of 3 billionths of one inch per cycle of evolution, or 90 billionths of one millimeter. The weave of these energies is responsible for everything that exists within the universe including all of the current species.

Again! it's fuckin painful listening to this guy. His lisp is incredibly annoying. bbc fail! I don't give a rats ass who this guy is. Fact remains, he's not speaker material. So many more worthy and bbc chooses this fool tsk tsk....

[elrjames777]

@mototsprotot 100% correct: my constant thought was: when is he gonna stop asking questions and tell us something :-)

The secret of the Philosopher"s Stone lies in the hindu clan, in which, I wish to discover...

Thank you for uploading, I was in UK and could watch BBC iPlayer there, but it is not available in the United States. So happy I can still watch so good documentaries here!

[XUltra00]

GREAT vid! all creationists should watch this! (not like i was a creationist a second ago!)

If the atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus of the atom would sit at the tip of a pin in the center of the field. 99.9% of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus. The electrons would be orbiting around the outside of the stadium and between them and the nucleus (the whole stadium) is empty space.

If people don´t like that answer - within. That´d be even much better.

[mzedong001]

How did we get here? We came from other planetary systems - our ancestors did.

What is the world made of? It is made of spirit - what they once called dark matter.

Where are we going? Back home.........back home to Lyra.

[mzedong001]

Everything is made up of SPIRIT.

That is the Law.

[RJL738]

Yes it's true that the atom is almost 100,000 times wider than the nuclies

(possibly between 80,000 and 90,000 times wider) on average and that all the subatomic particles only account for a few quintillionts or so of the atoms volume on average. The nucleus is often made of several particles with the electrons. Even the nucleons are possibly mostly empty space. Thank you for this.

[RezaMorovat]

Thanks so much indeed for posting this well-made series. Though becoming very rare in the last decade, the BBC still makes very good documentaries, and this one made by a scientific-minded man, rather than the usual sensationalistic journalists that make stuff like Horizon.

[maggytec]

i liked the show and the music+ sound design too!

[xSilverPhinx]

Thanks for uploading! Something such as rational thought and science and the knowledge it gives us which have done so much to evolve our ways of thinking cannot be underestimated.

I hope we never go into the dark ages again.

[tempemonkey2323]

@xSilverPhinx Do your part in eradicating sources of superstition and lies about reality (namely religion) and try to educate those around you.... and we wont go back into the dark ages.

[Simonet25]

@xSilverPhinx If you listen to the teabaggers ... they are about bring the dark ages back
