Synopsis |
Hunting the Quark | Cosmic Physics | Alec Nesbitt | After years of confusion,scientists all over the world have reached a very exciting stage in their research into the basic ingredients of all matter. They say that the protons and neutrons at the heart of atoms are made up of elusive little things called quarks. |
Prime Secret | Mathematics | Robert Matthews | Can the Balmer Series aid finding Primes? |
Fuzzy World | Quantum Theory | Robert Matthews | Einstein was wrong,Bohr was right,the world is fuzzy. |
The Sun's Particles Go Missing | Cosmic Physics | Robert Matthews | Neutrinos with "imaginary" mass are thought to be the reason that the Sun does not produce the expected amount of them. |
Speck of Foam | Cosmic Physics | Robert Matthews | Space and Time maybe just a speck of foam. |
"Right" Answers | Physics | Robert Matthews | Working out a solution and getting the "right" answer doesn't necessarily mean that the correct exaplanation has been found. |
Is the Solar System stable? | Chaos Theory | Carl Murray | You might be surprised to learn that the Earth's orbit round the Sun, like those of other planets,is chaotic. What does this mean for the future of the Solar System? |
Flow of Time | Physics | Transcript | The nature of time. |
The Nature of Space and Time | Cosmic Physics | S.Hawking and R.Penrose | Quantum Cosmology. |
Into the 11th Dimension | Cosmic Physics | Michio Kaku | The quest for a theory linking all matter and all forces led physicists deep into hyperspace, where they got horribly lost. But suddenly the way ahead has become clear, says superstring theorist. |

I hiss therefore I am | Cosmology | Ramón Moliner | How philosophically inclined snakes would explain the Universe. |
The Day Time Began | Time | Paul Davies | How sure can we be that the Universe began with the big bang? |
Fractured Universe | Fractals | Marcus Chown | A dissident group of astronomers is claiming that the Universe is not the smooth, homogeneous place that Einstein envisaged. If they're right, the foundations of cosmology could crumble to dust. |
Paradox Lost | Cosmology | Paul Davies | Paul covers negative energy,entropy and the Casimir Effect. |
