What Survives Inside A Black Hole?
Black holes are the result of absolute gravitational collapse of a massive body: a point of hypothetical infinite density surrounded by an event horizon. At that horizon time is frozen and the fabric of space itself cascades inwards at...

Some light quantum mechanics (with MinutePhysics)
An introduction to the quantum behavior of light, specifically the polarization of light. The emphasis is on how many ideas that seem "quantumly weird" are actually just wave mechanics, applicable in a lot of classical physics.

How To Make MUONS
This video is about how to create muons in a particle accelerator via bombardment of heavy nuclei with protons, which results in creation of charged pions (plus and minus). The pions then decay into muons and mu neutrinos, and the muons...

TED-Ed: How does an atom-smashing particle accelerator work? - Don Lincoln
An atom smasher, or particle accelerator, collides atomic nuclei together at extremely high energies, using engineering that exploits incredibly cold temperatures, very low air pressure, and hyperbolically fast speeds. Don Lincoln...

Internal Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the internal energy of a system can change as the internal structure of the system changes. An object model will not be able to account for the restoring forces and so a system model must be used....
