Einstein's relativity and the quantum revolution [videorecording]. Part 1 and Part 2 : modern physics for non-scientists / taught by Richard Wolfson.
Takes the viewer from the early study of motion through the path of modern discovery of relativity, quantum phenomena and the consequences of these discoveries for our understanding of space, time and the universe.
