En 1942, convaincus que l'Allemagne nazie est en train de développer une arme nucléaire, les États-Unis initient, dans le plus grand secret, le "Projet Manhattan" destiné à mettre au point la première bombe atomique de l’histoire. Pour piloter ce dispositif, le gouvernement engage J. Robert Oppenheimer, brillant physicien, qui sera bientôt surnommé "le père de la bombe atomique". C'est dans le laboratoire ultra-secret de Los Alamos, au cœur du désert du Nouveau-Mexique, que le scientifique et son équipe mettent au point une arme révolutionnaire dont les conséquences, vertigineuses, continuent de peser sur le monde actuel…
D'éminents mathématiciens, physiciens quantiques et cosmologistes se penchent sur l'infini et ses mystérieuses implications pour l'univers.
This shows physicist Stephen Hawking's life as he deals with the ALS that renders him immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, classmates, and peers are interviewed not only about his theories but the man himself.
La Fièvre des Particules suit dans l'intimité six brillants scientifiques cherchant à démêler les mystères de l'Univers, nous montrant à la fois les succès et les échecs de la plus importante et fascinante avancée scientifique du monde vers l'infiniment petit.
Testez les limites de notre connaissance de l'univers en compagnie de chercheurs qui tentent de comprendre les trous noirs et d'en photographier un pour la première fois.
Free Will? A Documentary is an in-depth investigation featuring world renowned philosophers and scientists into the most profound philosophical debate of all time: Do we have free will?
With extraordinary access, BLAST exposes a world of risky, hardcore, scientific adventure. The story follows an international team of astrophysicists trying to launch a multi-million dollar telescope on a NASA high-altitude balloon. Their journey to discover thousands of early galaxies takes them from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Revealing frustrations, inevitable failures and ultimate triumph, BLAST puts a human face on the quest to answer our most basic question - How did we get here? (IMDb)
In 1973 Yorkshire public television made a short film of the Nobel laureate while he was there. The resulting film, Take the World From Another Point of View, was broadcast in America as part of the PBS Nova series. The documentary features a fascinating interview, but what sets it apart from other films on Feynman is the inclusion of a lively conversation he had with the eminent British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle.
En menant une série d'expériences dans son laboratoire de fortune, un informaticien sceptique tente de guérir sa pénible déficience auditive.
Twenty years after A Brief History of Time flummoxed the world with its big numbers and black holes, its author, Stephen Hawking, concedes that the "ultimate theory" he'd believed to be imminent - which would conclusively explain the origins of life, the universe and everything - remains frustratingly elusive. Yet despite his failing health and the seeming impossibility of the task, Hawking is still devoted to his work; an extraordinary drive that's captured here in fleeting interview snippets and footage of the scientist sharing a microwave dinner with some fawning PhD students. Though the pop-science tutorials that dapple the first of this two-part biography are winningly perky, Hawking, alas, remains as tricky to fathom as his boggling quantum whatnots
CERN and the University of California-Santa Barbara are collaborating in the search for the elusive substance that physicists and astronomers believe holds the universe together -- dark matter. Where is this search now in the realm of particle physics and what comes next?
Découverte de l'espace, le temps, la formation de l'univers et l'apparition de la vie sur la terre.
In Astronomy Part 2, you will learn all about the planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, the layers of the sun, fusion, and more. The Standard Deviants make learning astronomy easier with their unique teaching style, which incorporates humor, mnemonics, and sophisticated computer graphics.
Where did the universe come from and did a creator have a hand in making it? As scientists learn more about the universe, our ideas about exactly what God made (the earth, the universe, the multi-verse even nothing but empty space) have come into question.
Kate Humble and Helen Czerski reveal the inner workings of the sun and investigate why scientists think changes in the sun's behaviour may have powerful effects on our climate.
A documentary telling the remarkable human story of Stephen Hawking. For the first time, the personal archives and the testimonies of his closest family reveal both the scale of Hawking's triumphs and the real cost of his disability and success.
Richard Feynman was a scientific genius with - in his words - a "limited intelligence". This dichotomy is just one of the characteristics that made him a fascinating subject. The Pleasure of Finding Things Out exposes us to many more of these intriguing attributes by featuring an extensive conversation with the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner. During the course of the interview, which was conducted in 1981, Feynman uses the undeniable power of the personal to convey otherwise challenging scientific theories. His colorful and lucid stories make abstract concepts tangible, and his warm presence is sure to inspire interest and awe from even the most reluctant student of science. His insights are profound, but his delivery is anything but dry and ostentatious.
Six days. Three frontiers. One amazing lab. From 2010 to 2012, a film crew followed a group of scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab and filmed them at work and at home. This 40-minute documentary shows the diversity of the people, research and work at Fermilab. Viewers catch a true behind-the-scenes look of the United States' premier particle physics laboratory while scientists explain why their research is important to them and the world. Scientists included: Brendan Casey, Herman White, Craig Hogan, Denton Morris, Mary Convery, Bonnie Fleming, Deborah Harris, Dave Schmitz, Brenna Flaugher and Aron Soha.
A dinner party between two couples experiencing eleven different endings, all of which points to the same conclusion - the best possible life comes from the one lived the most in the present.
Le Future Circular Collider (FCC) est la machine du futur. Grâce à elle, nous pourrons enfin remonter le temps jusqu’à l’origine de notre univers. Entre métaphysique et tunnels souterrains, une histoire des préparatifs qui éclaire comment les hommes sont prêts à déplacer des montagnes pour plus de connaissances.
