ATOM tells the story of the basic building block of the
universe. In their quest to understand the atom, researchers
have had to create a whole new science, unravel the mystery of
the start of the universe and rethink the nature of reality
itself

The world we think we know through our senses turns
out to be a tiny sliver of an infinitely weirder and more
wonderful universe than we ever imagined exsiting


Part 1

The first of three programmes in which nuclear physicist
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, tells the story of the greatest
scientific discovery ever - the fact that everything is made
of atoms. As scientists delved deep into the atom, into the
very heart of matter, they unravelled nature's most shocking
secrets. They had to abandon everything they believed in and
create a whole new science, which today underpins the whole of
physics, chemistry, biology and maybe even life itself. 'Atom'
tells a story of great genuises, people like Albert Einstein
and Werner Heisenberg who were driven by their thirst for
knowledge and glory. It's a story of false starts and
conflicts, ambition and revelation, a story which leads us
through some of the most exciting and exhilarating ideas ever
conceived of by the human race.

Part 2

The second in Professor Jim Al-Khalili's three-part 
documentary about the basic building block of our universe 
the atom. He shows how, in our quest to understand the tiny 
atom, we unravelled the mystery of how the universe was 
created - a story with dramatic twists and turns, taking in 
world-changing discoveries like radioactivity, the atom bomb 
and the Big Bang, as the greatest brains of the 20th century 
competed to answer the biggest questions of all - why are we 
here and how were we made.

Part 3

The final part of Professor Jim Al-Khalili's documentary 
series about the basic building block of our universe, the 
atom. He explores how studying the atom forced us to rethink 
the nature of reality itself, discovers how there might be 
parallel universes in which different versions of us exist and 
finds out that 'empty' space isn't empty at all. Al-Khalili 
shows how the world we think we know turns out to be a tiny 
sliver of an infinitely weirder universe than which we could 
have conceived
