The Forces of Nature
Can everything that happens in the universe be explained in terms of just three forces? Particle physicist Dr Brian Cox talks us through the history of our scientific understanding, revealing why scientists have come to believe this.
Cox also explores the unification of electricity and magnetism, and the discovery of the strong and weak nuclear forces. Along the way, he explains more about the Large Hadron Collider experiment at CERN, which may help scientists come up with a single "theory of everything".

Physics in Australia19 June 2008 - 12:09
Hello all,
I'm a physics teacher from Queensland in Australia and I've found the content within in this site and this video in particular to be very useful as an introductory piece for my students in years 11 and 12 to whet their appetites for the glories of physics at the really small level.
Thank you for this wonderful site.
Regards,
Stuart.

Particle physics is absolutely so amazing! I just love it. And i love this series of 3 video clips. Good to show to a class of motivated pupils. Even though it is a bit beyond them, it shows some of the wonders of physics, and is never boring! Thank you for making them.
