Physics documentaries list??

Hi huys, is there a physics based documentaries list here on PF because i think it would be helpful to have one. I did find a physics movie one with few mentions of docu's, but I am looking for one of just documentaries, possibly with links to them online?

Sorry to be so extremely unhelpful, but I don't know of any list and I don't have any documentaries about physics to recommend. However, lately my PBS station has been showing "Dogs that changed the world" or something similar to that. It is one of the most interesting documentaries I've seen in a long time.

Hi there,

Thank you for your suggestion! I am always excited to share my knowledge and passion for physics with others. While I am not aware of a specific list of physics documentaries on PF, I can certainly recommend some great ones for you to check out.

Firstly, I highly recommend "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene, which explores the fascinating world of string theory and its potential to unify all of physics. Another great documentary is "Particle Fever," which follows the journey of physicists at the Large Hadron Collider as they search for the elusive Higgs boson.

For a historical perspective, "The Day the Universe Changed" by James Burke is a thought-provoking series that explores how scientific discoveries have shaped our understanding of the world. "The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene is also a fantastic series that delves into the mysteries of space, time, and the nature of reality.

I hope this helps and inspires you to explore the amazing world of physics through documentaries. Happy watching!
