A Night with the Stars

Overview
For one night only, Professor Brian Cox goes unplugged in a specially recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his own inimitable style, Brian takes an audience of famous faces, scientists and members of the public on a journey through some of the most challenging concepts in physics. With the help of Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican and James May, Brian shows how diamonds - the hardest material in nature - are made up of nothingness; how things can be in an infinite number of places at once; why everything we see or touch in the universe exists; and how a diamond in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos.

00:00:02 Where's the reception? Oh, OK...
00:02:47 the scientific theory that underpins much of the technology
00:05:24 This means quantum theory is not wrong - it's a survivor
00:07:52 and it's 3 billion years old.
00:10:13 our best understanding of the structure of matter.
00:12:53 Any other volunteers(?) No... Only got a C!
00:15:14 onto a screen, and you get that strange pattern.
00:17:38 So, the electrons are behaving more like the waves in the tank
00:20:26 Shall I sit back down?
00:22:27 one there and one there. That's a brilliant... Oh, it's gone again!
00:24:52 Well, the clue is that Jim and Simon had to put more energy in
00:27:45 I mean, take this apple, for example.
00:30:17 Um...
00:32:47 is such a great giver of energy that you saw a flash.
00:35:10 And the Pauli Exclusion Principle still applies.
00:37:30 Remember, we're firing electrons at two slits
00:39:36 Paul Foot. I don't know - what a rubbish thing to say.
00:41:31 according to Feynman's equation.
00:44:17 Then, though we get to this. Over the thing.
00:47:26 I don't know what to do. I'm just going to keep smiling at you.
00:50:10 But Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is a consequence
00:52:37 they are unable to overlap, so they try to arrange themselves
00:55:47 Quantum theory is a uniquely potent tool that gives us
37:00:09 around there, became a diamond
