I'll watch anything where this man is presenting. 5000% better than the college education available in this country.

Every documentary this guy does on any subject is bloody brilliant.

Professor Khalili has the art of explaining science in a philosophical way. His narration is like a Buddha's sermon, science is not only explained but absorbed for learners like us. Thanks Professor ❤️🙏👍

Jim al-Khalili... takes what is very complex to communicate... and he makes it very easy to comprehend 👌

In a word, it's a masterpiece. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed.

Professor Khalili is one of the greatest communicators out there. If you ran a Masterclass, I would enrol ASAP.

Jim Khalili is the spiritual successor to another Jim who used to make films like this: James Burke. If you haven’t seen “The Day the Universe Changed,” seek it out. Excellent, absorbing, digestible science and history. Absolutely brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant documentary. I wish they'd mentioned music notation and the concept of being able to create a system by which pitch, rhythm etc is organised logically. 'bits' are similar to 'beats' as packets of information, contained within 'bars/measures' logically... This system evolved over the Renaissance...

One of the most powerful science documentaries I have ever watched! It is a great imperceptible fusion of visual art and science to have a profound impact on out lasting memory. Thank you, sir! You are a great professor of modern times.

I'm enjoying this very much, but wondering why you didn't mention Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace? I do miss them, seeing as you even mentioned the first punch cards used in looms, something I new I learned today! 👏😊

High quality domentary. I've read the book of professor Jim. I'm a fan of him. In this vídeo I could understand Who was Turing and what information actualy is. Thanks a lot "professor" Jim.

If someone can explain and subject that a kid can understand according to Richard fineman than we can be sure that he has understood the subject matter that he is explaining

I think of in-forming as the act of locating the data we sensed of our lived experience in internally determined neural networks, sometimes strengthening them, sometimes creating new ones, in an individual’s evolving sociocultural memory. The in-formation discussed here, I believe, is better described as data. Recognisable sequences of sound-shapes (letters in English, characters in Japanese, Braille, images, and so on) are data rather than in-formation. Data are external to each individual, while in-forming (the act of constructing an evolving sociocultural memory) is internal, personal, unique, situational and evanescent; evanescent in the sense of emerging when sound-shapes trigger their recall, and dissipating as conscious focus shifts to a different ‘trigger’. As I say ‘frog’, your memory (the sum of your cumulative sociocultural memory) emerges to help you navigate the idea of a frog. But while you’re thinking about what you believe about frogs, you’re not thinking about Formula 1 racing. Now you are because I triggered your sociocultural memory, and your ‘frog’ has receded from conscious thought but is retained in memory for later. I prefer to think of the universe as replete with data we are able to sense, rather than in-formation, although I acknowledge how different disciplines use language-as-code to make sense of the data each of us experiences uniquely.

This man can bring dead bodies to life and make them his audience, brilliantly done!

I've never seen an explanatio like this

Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment that would hypothetically violate the second law of thermodynamics.

The loom is the original binary code that will last probably for as long as man exists! Wow ! Totally mind blowing. Telegraph and anything after that followed that concept. Now if only YouTube would stop sending ad info every time I want to watch a video without paying that would be awesome!

this is absolutely the video i would have liked to see in my high school days but the background knowledge was not around yet unfortunately and it was in a third world country. there is something however in the early part on shannon which is puzzling to me and hopefully not too embarassing to me but the word 'hello' is just five characters and should not be harder to portray compared to its digital binary equivalent which 23 or so characters of one and zero so why is the binary alphabet more easy to use than the standard alphabet?

This is great! Reminds me of the old show Connections with James Burke which was one of my favorite shows at the time.

I agree with all the comments praising Professor Al Khalilli. Awesomely entertaining and educational👍👍
