Professor Brian Cox builds sandcastles in the Namib Desert to explain why time travels in one direction. It is a result of a phenomenon called entropy; a law of physics that tells us any system tends towards disorder.

How can you create a universe from nothing? Well if you calculate the total matter of the universe it is positive. If you calculate the total energy of the universe it is negative because of gravity. Gravity has negative energy. When you add the two together what do you get? Zero, so it takes no energy to create a universe. Universes are for free. A universe is a free lunch.

What if we could find one single equation that explains every force in the universe? Dr. Michio Kaku explores how physicists may shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's "e=mc^2." Thanks to advances in string theory, physics may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. While firing up our imaginations about the future, Kaku also presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why physics is the key to pretty much everything.

To photograph the very infancy of the Universe—back when it was mere seconds years old—you need an extremely complex camera. In an operation that seems not unlike the building of a backyard tree fort, the EBEX team at Columbia University, led by physicist Amber Miller, has spent seven years building a complex balloon-borne telescope. When it takes flight later this year, over the icy dunes of Antarctica, the hope is that scientists will be able to glimpse a little further into the past than ever before.

At the heart of modern cosmology is a mystery: Why does our universe appear so exquisitely tuned to create the conditions necessary for life? In this tour de force tour of some of science's biggest new discoveries, Brian Greene shows how the mind-boggling idea of a multiverse may hold the answer to the riddle.

This gorgeous island universe just begs the question: "are we alone?" With an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the known Universe, we think not. Well, perhaps in the Milky Way. NGC 7331, 50 million light-years distant in the northern constellation Pegasus, is often touted as a twin spiral analog to our Milky Way.

For such a short amount of time, this video really left my wowed. I love illustrations to go with explanations during the process of teaching something new and foreign, so you can only imagine how crazy I went for this video. I even watched the other videos on their channel for MinutePhysics and even though the topics may seem "boring" or "too hard," I had no trouble keeping up with the pace of the videos and I have such a miniscule knowledge of physics. I'm not really sure how else to explain how much I enjoyed watching this video, it was extremely fun and creative and I wish I could learn everything this way, because it feels like I'm making it happen in a way and we're learning together, if that makes any sense. This was a pretty tricky subject and I loved how at the end he threw in a little bit about parallell universes and my brain just tipped over the edge to explosion. These spurts of information are definitely slightly overwhelming, but it makes you feel like you learned a lot in only two or three minutes, and I recommend anyone to watch them if they're feeling a little existential or just curious about the universe!
