How Quantum Mechanics Saved Physics From Ovens
You might think that quantum physics was discovered because of some super complicated electron behavior or something, but it was actually invented to explain ovens.

Energy-Mass Equivalence
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the law of conservation of energy applies to both energy and mass. Einstein showed that mass and energy are equivalent and that the amount of energy contained within matter can be calculated using...

Practice 7 - Engaging in Argument from Evidence
Paul Andersen explains the importance of argumentation in improving both understanding and design. This video begins with a discussion of the heliocentric and geocentric model of the Universe that eventually lead to the Copernican...

Coulomb's Law
In this video Paul Andersen explains how we can use Coulomb's law to predict the structure of atoms. These predictions can be verified through the use of Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES). Electron's are help around the nucleus because of...

Spacetime
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the dimensions of space and time are combined in relativistic mechanics. Gravity and velocity can affect both space and time according to Albert Einstein's Special Law of Relativity.

TED-ED: How many ways are there to prove the Pythagorean theorem? - Betty Fei
What do Euclid, 12-year-old Einstein, and American President James Garfield have in common? They all came up with elegant proofs for the famous Pythagorean theorem, one of the most fundamental rules of geometry and the basis for...

What Happens At The Edge Of The Universe?
Lots of people believe the Universe is infinite, but there's a good possibility that might not be the case. Which means that there would be an actual edge of the Universe. What happens at that edge? Is there a restaurant?

TED: Is life really that complex? | Hannah Fry
Can an algorithm forecast the site of the next riot? In this accessible talk, mathematician Hannah Fry shows how complex social behavior can be analyzed and perhaps predicted through analogies to natural phenomena, like the patterns of a...

Einstein's Revolution: Crash Course History of Science
There was physics before Einstein in the same way that there was biology before Darwin. Einstein didn’t just add some new ideas to physics. And he didn’t just add a unifying framework for doing physics, like Newton. Einstein took what...

TED-Ed: Are we living in a simulation? | Zohreh Davoudi
All life on Earth— living and inanimate, microscopic and cosmic— is governed by mathematical laws with apparently arbitrary constants. And this opens up a question: If the universe is completely governed by these laws, couldn't a...

Atomic Models
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the atomic model has changed over time. A model is simply a theoretical construct of phenomenon and so when we receive new data we may have to refine our model. Ionization energy data resulted in...

Matter as a Particle
In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter, like light, can be treated as both a particle and a wave. Louis de Broglie proposed that matter could act as a wave and described the wavelength of matter as a function of Planck's...

Decoding the Photoelectric Effect: How It Works
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light, consisting of photons, interacts with the inner structure of an atom. Photons carry a specific amount of energy proportional to their frequency, which is transferred to an...
