Gravity Visualized

Dan Burns demonstrates space-time warping at a workshop conducted at Los Gatos High School in California. The original demonstration was shared with Dan Burns by Shannon Range from the Gravity Probe B program.  Gravity Probe B is a NASA/Stanford University joint project for testing Einstein’s theory’s about the universe.

What Is Gravity? Theory From Newton To Einstein

Brian Green, a theoretical physicist and professor at Columbia University, explains Newton’s discovery of gravity and how Einstein’s Theory of Relativity changed our understanding of how gravity works. This video is a clip from the NOVA PBS series “THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE’  broadcast in late 2003.

Animated Explanation of Quantum Mechanics

An interesting animation that covers many topics of quantum physics including wave particle duality (demonstrating the double-slit experiment),  probability distribution (Schrodinger’s cat observes the experiments), entanglement, and more.
