What Matter Makes Up Our Known Universe? | Jim Al-Khalili | Spark
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
Since seeing the first documentary narrated/hosted by him I said the same thing. You can just feel how passionate he is as well as happening to have a really clear and engaging voice and charisma.
Agreed! I wish that Jim Al-Khalili did more documentaries/lecture. I try to watch them all.
Better
Cox is way too arrogant when unscripted. Jim cognitive abilities are also order of magnitude above those of Cox.
@@qumpaniaI’ve watched both of the extensively. You are expressing a personal opinion. Arrogance.
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.
You just revised your second law of thermodynamics? What in the fuck is that supposed to mean?
@@DaytonAutikait means they read up on it. You know revised like revising for an exam.
42:55 after 91 years fatefully discovers HIS OWN inevitable demise relentlessly displayed by the Material Laws of this Realm/Universe
It means when presented new data, he’s updated his understanding of how something works. Isn’t that how science is supposed to work?
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.
The Truth let’s you climb out when you need to. Don’t let it consume you.
@harry macdonald in the middle east, they refuse to believe the earth rotates, because if its true, they should be able to jump and end up in london and another jump new york with the last jump back reality.

Every documentary narrated by Jim al Khalili is the best I've ever seen.
He has a unique way of explaining relatively complex and difficult to explain ideas and processes so that they become accessible
Everything Jim writes or creates is simply awesome !
This is probably the best documentary channel on youtube right now. Always excited when they upload!
Check out" Best Documentary "
Absolutely. Top comment.
I like it
It’s a BBC documentary, resold

He's one of my favorites. Also he might be the only person born in Iraq named Jim. Respect 🙏
I normally don't find these interesting, but I like this episode 👌
Cambridge Prof Simon Schaffer's commentary was particularly wonderful to listen to. Thank you, Wonderful program. Beautifully edited.
This documentary video must be shown in every school teaching physics!
What a way to tell..... Marvelous. Wish everybody could see your immense dedication and contribution.
The car shot with you talking is brilliant. Keep up the great work !! ❤🤲🏻
One of the best documentaries
This series of documentary is in totally different level. I'm truly amazed in many ways.

One of the most exciting episodes of popular science videos. I am watching it for the third time and it is still a mesmerizing amalgam of facts, history, and most of all, a great narrative.
It's just amazing how quickly Humanity has developed.
Yes now we are far more efficient at killing each other.

and at the same time, declined. As above 👍 so below 👇
Makes me think this just one of MANY human episodes of sophisticated technical advancements and then somehow hurled BACK into the stone age through maybe some sort of natural/Galactica global disaster.
Science has developed quickly in recent times…. looks like the progression of humanity though is going backwards in this 21st century….
Great fun documentary if you’re enrolled in mechanical engineering thermodynamics… I graduated years and I think knowing a little history behind Clausius statement would’ve been nice.
What is turmoil dianimate?? Can I element rats with that stuff??
Really great content! Should be seen by every student
Prof.Jim!!✋ zawsze poziom i elegancja wykładu popularno-naukowego✨🌹,,rzeczywistość,,zadziwia i szokuje🌃😯!?
so, when i didnt clean my room as a teenager, i was more in tune with the universe 🤪
goosebumps while watching that fusion reactor glow, amazing
I kept thinking what if it exploded any minute. Then what!???!!!! Surprised they didn't mention CERN.
Understanding the universe is fantastic.
This is an amazing documentary
When 'professor' Jim claimed "Maxwell's Demon could create order WITHOUT EXPENDING ANY EFFORT" I lost all respect for him or any of his videos. First of all, the Demon needs to constantly keep track of billions of atoms flying through space, then at precisely the right moment, open doors to let individual atoms pass through. And you say all that can be done with no effort or energy? Omg, what a moron.

EXTRA ORDINARY RESEARCH FOR THIS INFORMATIVE EPISODE 🎉 THANKS FOR
LOVE your programmes.. thanx!
That silk portrait of Jacquard was hanging on the wall in the living room in my grandparents' house, and the cousins and I never had any idea what it was. Our family came from Lyon and started a silk works in Pennsylvania way way back in the day. Glad I watched this!
Is worth lots of money in any museum
That's so cool!!👍 U should get one too, keep it going!!!
Wow, what an interesting history…
@martinstehli6346 Your family has stepped into history. How wonderful to find it in this documentary. You've come full circle and now you know what it was. What makes the portrait so amazing is knowing his story and what it was made of.
These are all the best documentaries I've ever seen. I never fully understood the double Slit experiment till I watched him!
Loved every bit of this 💡☎️🖥️ Always makes a subject interesting does JAK🏆
I love listening to him and his way 9f speaking on silence and it's history. Keep it up Jim Ali kalili
46:41 omg.... the intensity! I will have to say i can somewhat relate to the pressures of ot being understood when trying to say or do what i need to. Ill leave it at that as im quite sure most will know where im comics from. It is what i hope is taken farther and explainable to progress in better undersranding entropy in all areas especially psychologically.
Absolutely awesome presentation
Great stuff. I watch over 5 times to understand it all. Congrats!
I love this guy he is a phenomenal human being. He's a wonderful teacher. More people to pay attention to what this man has to say. He is on point! 🙏🙏

A profoundly thought-provking documentary which forms a bridge between "intangible" and "tangilble". Absoultely worth investing 2 hours.
Excellent informations thanks sir
This program was thrilling and, strangely inspiring to me. The beauty, and the Majesty of it all and its ability to be perceived by man.
I'm proud that I thought entropy on my own before learning about it from the experts... I could could understand how things went from a hot state to a cool state...but not vice versa... this in fact was a form of entropy...
Well the wings of eagals have one feather, the tranimal. I have it on great authority that Mr. Toad will not be attending your sauce festival but the Ents will light the lamplights on Griminal eave for you. Have a lovely day and don't eat the frooootcake.
Very interesting. This documentary was produced few years back. Wonder what new tech and discoveries have been made since
They have been focusing on Uranus apparently.
not much i should think. all the science covered here really has left the world unrecognizable ever since and is itself very old by now, but I get the feeling it represents some of the biggest ideas that are even fathomable, let alone 100% real. so to fully grasp would take us more time, whatever the scale
Truly mesmerizingly beautiful. Thank you.
Takes me back to the dark days of physical chemistry and Dr Stubbins thermodynamics lectures. I wish we had had Jim!
This has became one of my favorite channels on KZhead. I love it.
That was the most beautiful inspiring educational program I’ve ever. Thank you.
Hey dude, I watched yr video on Quantum Physics, which I really enjoyed as you described it superbly, but canna seem to find the second part… anyone help? 🙏
From Jacquards loom to algorythms! Fascinating
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, i really appreciate. 🙏🙏
These are the best documentaries ever
Probably the best documentary that I’ve ever watched…
Thanx so much professor indeed u changed my world
I used to love Dr Jim Khalili on the BBC especially the one sentence after 10 minutes footage with scary sci fi music taking you the brink followed by 10 minutes of more silence & music. Missing BBC zillions & still no curvature.
Mais um trabalho espetacular.....obrigado, mestre!
This video must be shown in every schools teaching physics!
Anything Jim Al Khalili does is brilliant. He keeps it easy to understand and always interesting. The thing about these videos, the amount of adverts! Does anyone watch them or does everyone press skip ASAP?
Thank you Professor Jim. This was very informative.
What a informative video
an... what "an" informative video. ;-)

Why distinguish deletion? I'd say storing information needs energy too. And copying feels like better choice for the basic operation. Moving, or "destructive copying" is for free, and duplication takes energy.
Yet another brilliant documentary, joining events over time to show where we are at this moment. But a fundamental aspect needs great consideration as 'things move from order to disorder' tapping into the 'rate' of or 'speed/velocity' of this disorder changes by either decreasing or increasing depending on inventions and developments - but, what is the mean rate of entropy?. If the goal of human is to delay reaching 'total entropy', then what we are doing to the climate is of importance. Not bringing religion into this but in religious text we know that we start an action and its another that continues ('the Moses to Joshua effect', throughout this documentary progress had been highlighted in this way) So where a seed is sown now with technology and the continuous development thereof we need time. If we know the 'rate' we know our timing and the steps that are the best way forward.
Beautifully said. Thank you. I share your concerns and so does Goeffrey Hinton, "Godfather of AI." He quit Google and is on YT warning of the dangers.
True, writing words has done a lot for us, but we need a code that will forever remain clear, concise, and nonambiguous. 😭
I love his narration 👏🙏 so cozy to listen to and engaging.
Its called brainwashing to psyop mind control but a lot less sophisticated tech than Voice to Skull mind control. Dont be a sheep who falls for the glamour, research yourself to avoid falling victim.
Being from northern UK the cotton mills were a huge thing here during the industrial revolution
I'm from the UK also and as a kid I visited Titus Salts Saltaire and so on👍
yippie
Jim Al Khalili is so amazing explaining things about Physics
Agreed. He is top class.
Can I git two Tokamacs, small fries and a cherry coke?
Does the speed of light limit also apply to the vibration of atoms? If so than there is a maximum temperature?
In this video, Jim explored how information and energy are entangled and are encoded in the nature of binary bits, only the next step of superposition of QUBITS allowed Maldacena to conjecture how quantum computing function can explain everything in the universe and let Penrose explain how irreversible system can be built from reversible (big bang to big crunch in an ever cyclic universe when entropy was always increasing.

@@djbenje4019 The Demon wasn't Jim's, I think it was Bell's.
...Wonderful study on physics and information....However, never forget this. There had to be a 1st Cause for both physics and information. And it is undeniable that both physics and information must come from an Intelligent Source.
My Je'daii character in Star Wars is an academic who understands that all things end. The second law of thermal-dynamics are a chief reason for that.
Truly exceptional❕
why wouldnt they use some sort of vibration and sound waves to keep it in order.. in a way to levitate the plasma between the waves.on each side to keep it constant
Energy and information are conserved. So as there is entropy there is also it's opposite in equal measure. Such as black holes which vacuum up dispersed energy, mass and information and concentrate it again.
Someone, please explain, in maxwell's demon thought experiment, even with the information about molecule separation of cold and hot molecules requires some energy right?
Yeah its impossible but its a thought experiment about entropy. Entropy in a closed system always increases: order to disorder. Maxwell's demon was a challenge to that hypothesis. If you could have perfect knowledge and insight, you could separate the atoms/molecules and collect all of the hot ones on one side, all of the cold on the other, therefore reversing entropy.
@@SubvertTheState Thanks for the clarification !!!
@@SubvertTheState Perfect knowledge is likely what is driving AI.
Thank U so much prof👍👍👍💓💓💓
I also have my ups and downs like Boltzmann. I can be productive when I feel energetic but when in an emotional slump, I let things slide thus creating a scene of disarray. Maybe his depression led him to discover entropy.
Good stuff well presented.
Such a great project!
Great music too
0:23 the earth looks exactly like the Hubble deep field image here 🤯
What is the musical soundtrack to this documentary?
35:47 amazingly shown. Am a bit relieved i must say feeling the way i do. This does get me upset about how our schools ate lacking teaching. I loved Biology, 98 average and band as well. There is so much i was pushed out of and my daughters generation is even worse. Had it been different, i know id been so much farther and my daughter as well. Its terrible how things are these days.
What's the name of the music at the start ?
The one thing I'm grateful for. No matter what we do we will never destroy space or touch it like we have ravaged ourselves and our planet. Once we are gone the universe will carry on like we were never here... As pure as it always was.
Very lucid description of most complex problems. Thank you.
Is this actually new or just re-uploaded? Because I remember it was one of these videos of Jim's on 'information' that introduced me to Maxwell's Demon 😈... A little over halfway through and it seems familiar as he starts talking about the loom but I'm not sure if it's the exact same yet?
I feel like its a compilation of two of Jim's previous documentaries, "What is Energy" and "Information." So its like they have bee put in one video.
Wishful thinking has left me with a rude awakening too many times so far to feel ok with anything.
It's a low line between good and bad. Or a safe line. However you look at it. Maybe the learning the hard way starts more innocent now. If it doesn't give too much hell for somebody that'll grudge 10 fold back over nothing. Fairly touchy myself sometimes.
Title says "compilation"
39:10 -- Id say the the reason things would get cold is has more to do with the geometry of the atom further across the atom than the amount the atom is moving - so if the kelvin scale was to be used the energy output over time hasd to be dividing the the total the distance across at the speed of light Etc vs the kelvin input = energy over time if I put yellow in by the time it gets across it will have taken longer to get out what you put in longer = less intense shorter time more intense
Its really fascinating if you think of it like this. The heat from just our sun alone... not to mention all the suns everywhere, The temperature of space never increase it always remains at a constant °1 above Absolute Zero . Thats Amazing... If the Sun heated space... imagine the temperature of all the planets.
What was said at 8:26?
4 minutes in I just realized I watched this not too long ago. Guess what? Going to watch it again.
You are awesome teacher, thank you.
Do not forget Emilie du Chatelet that droppede Ball into clay to measure the impact. She found the kinetic energy KE = k m v^2 , but well the concept of KE did not exist at that time.
I'm thinking what they built even then, was marvellous.
I think I just saw a foot and toes or swollen fingers attached to a hand in the trash scene at 42 minutes 0 second to 42 minutes 10 seconds within the lower right corner if the screen was split in four equal square pieces. 😅 please, someone clarify what that is. Thank you.
It is not the 'data' containing the information, but the context or machine giving it meaning and classifying the data type sets. Encryption revolves around the same concept, which changes the context by Permutation or alteration. When the data gets put in context by the machine. And Maxwell's demon doesn't work, because the speed and amount of fast and slow moving particles gets changed in each chamber, making measurements interfere asymmetrically and slow particles keeping the 'door' open for too long for slow moving particles to pass. Also the walls would also start bouncing around.
Amazing video, thank you!
