Physics, Space & Chemistry

Physics & space (other)

Physics & space (other) sits within Physics, Space & Chemistry. Move between physical explanations and the observations, experiments, or engineering questions that motivate them. This selection contains 11 catalog videos from 6 distinct channels. The examples below offer specific entry points into the subject, with their own vocabulary and scope, rather than a prescribed sequence of lessons.

Recurring catalog topics include metrology, cgp grey, kilogram, kilogram redefinition, measurement and metric system. These tags describe overlapping directions within the collection; an individual video may connect several of them. Recorded formats include demo, explainer and lecture. Use those differences to choose between approaches to the subject and to compare how different contributors frame related questions.

“I promise this story about microwaves is interesting.”, listed under Tom Scott, is cataloged as explainer. Tom Scott investigates the claim that the microwave was invented to heat hamsters, and interviews James Lovelock about freezing and microwave-thawing hamsters in the 1950s. It traces early magnetron uses beyond radar.

“The Physics and Philosophy of Time - with Carlo Rovelli”, listed under The Royal Institution, is cataloged as lecture. Physicist Carlo Rovelli gives a public lecture at the Royal Institution on how our understanding of time has changed, from Boltzmann and Einstein to quantum theory and loop quantum gravity. He blends…
