If you enjoy both physics/science and history like me, you may enjoy this video from the Royal Institution. It's about groundbreaking experiments (no theoretical physics); X-rays, particles etc.

I'm only 45 minutes in so I haven't seen the entire video yet, but I wanted to share it.

"Twentieth-century physics has changed the world - and some of the most important discoveries happened right here at the Royal Institution."
