The Pleasure of Finding Things Out

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: Professor Richard Feynman of Caltech talks about his life and career. In 1981, he gave Horizon a candid interview, talking about many things close to his heart. Richard Feynman was one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers of the 20th century. He rebuilt the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and it was for this work that he won the Nobel Prize in 1965.     This programme is part a collection of BBC programmes specially chosen to celebrate Horizon’s 50th anniversary.   The Pleasure of Finding Things Out – Richard Feynman   […]

Einstein’s Quantum Riddle

Einstein’s Quantum Riddle: Einstein’s Quantum Riddle tells the remarkable story of perhaps the strangest phenomenon in science – quantum entanglement. It’s a story of mind-bending concepts and brilliant experiments, which lead us to a profound new understanding of reality.     At the start of the 20th century Albert Einstein helped usher in quantum mechanics – a revolutionary description of the behaviour of tiny particles. But he soon became uncomfortable with the counter intuitive ideas at the heart of the theory. He hunted for flaws in the equations and eventually discovered that they predicted a seemingly impossible situation. Quantum theory
