Through The Wormhole: Are There Parallel Universes? Since the ancient Greeks first speculated that everything they observed in reality was the result of the interaction of tiny particles they called atoms, great thinkers have tried to find a single mathematical formula that governs and explains the workings of the entire universe. So far, though, even minds as brilliant as physicists Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking have been unable to come up with that single grand equation of everything, also known as the theory of everything, or the final theory. Nevertheless, they continue to try, because without that final piece of the puzzle that is reality, the sum total of what we know falls a bit short of making sense. Perhaps the most illustrious searcher for the equation of everything was physicist Albert Einstein, who spent the last 35 years of his life trying to uncover such an overarching explanation.

Uncertain Principles Simply put, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and the exact velocity of an object at the same time. However, the effect is tiny and so is only noticeable on a subatomic scale. Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) was a German physicist who helped to formulate quantum mechanics at the beginning of the 20th century. Light can be considered as being made up of packets of energy called photons. By learning the position, you have rendered any information you previously had on the velocity useless.

ATOM The discovery that everything is made from atoms has been referred to as the greatest scientific breakthrough in history. As scientists delved deep into the atom, they unravelled nature's most shocking secrets and abandoned traditional beliefs, leading to a whole new science which still underpins modern physics, chemistry and biology, and maybe even life itself. Nuclear physicist Professor Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of this discovery and the brilliant minds behind the breakthrough. The second part of Professor Jim Al-Khalili's three-part documentary about the basic building block of our universe, the atom. The final part of Professor Jim Al-Khalili's documentary series about the basic building block of our universe, the atom. The Clash of the Titans The Key To the Cosmos The Illusion of Reality
Softology - Visions Of Chaos "Vision of Chaos is a great Programm! I have many, many hour's fun. Thank you very much." "It is one of my favourite and most powerful pieces of software" "I'm a long-time user and big fan of the software, and find it more intuitive and full-featured than just about any other fractal generator out there. I'm also extremely happy that you've continued updating Visions Of Chaos" "Visions of Chaos is a remarkable and easy to use fractal and chaos program. "It is a 'mathematical Leeuvenhoek microscope' looking at objects never before seen. "I appreciate your efforts on Visions of Chaos, a very fine program indeed!" "I have your software which is OUTSTANDING!!!" "by far i think it is the only program which can do heightmap rendering easily" "a most excellent software" "VOC is a very fine program deserving wider recognition" "Impressive and beautiful 3D worlds are revealed with your software" "Visons Of Chaos is a great fractal program. "Voc reminds me of wolfenstein and the doom games.
The Big Bang Machine Professor Brian Cox visits Geneva to take a look around Cern's Large Hadron Collider before this vast, 27km long machine is sealed off and a simulation experiment begins to try and create the conditions that existed just a billionth of a second after the Big Bang. Cox joins the scientists who hope that the LHC will change our understanding of the early universe and solve some of its mysteries. News: Not to be thwarted by a few annoying speed bumps on the road to discovery, CERN scientists have successfully slammed accelerated protons together inside the giant Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in order to re-create conditions within the universe just moments after the Big Bang. "This opens the door to a totally new era of discovery,” enthused CERN's director of research Sergio Bertolucci via a video relay from the LHC facility. “It is a step into the unknown where we will find things we thought were there and perhaps things we didn't know existed."
