Misconceptions about the universe

This video introduces the Hubble sphere and how the rate of expansion of space can be used to explain how we see very distant objects that are travelling faster than light. The limitation to the observable universe is the particle horizon (where the time is too great for light to have reached the Hubble horizon)....

Physics Nobel prize 2011-Brian Schmidt

This video explores the fate of the universe from an historical position. It explains how the rate of expansion of the universe can be measured.

Pyro board 2D Rubens' tube

This video explains how a Ruben’s tube can be used to demonstrate standings waves, nodes and antinodes (sound).  The flow of flammable gas is affected by sound waves (vibrations). A 2D model of a Ruben’s tube is used to demonstrate a series of standing waves.

Quantum entanglement and spooky action at a distance

This video will challenge students. It shows how particle spins of entangled particles and employing the conservation of angular momentum, can be used to solve a problem that Einstein found rather frustrating. The problem: If we measure the spin of one of the particles we automatically know the other, because it...
