"The Odyssey of Proteus"
Fermilab #494, 1997. 12:00. A somewhat
juvenile summary of linear and synchrotron accelerator pipelines,
storage rings, and packet collisions.
"Particles"
Fermilab #450. 5:34. A brief description of atomic and
nuclear structure, statement of the 12 fundamental particles, and
discussion of wave-particle duality.
"The Ghost Particle"
NOVA & WGBH Boston Video WG40779. 56:00. The history of neutrino physics, with emphasis on
Ray Davis's observations of solar neutrino oscillations before they were explained. Interviews
with John Bahcall, Ray Davis, and others, as well as footage from Davis's experiments and from
Super-K, strung together with typical NOVA narration.
"Supernova: The Birth & Death of a Star"
NASA Astrophysics Div.,
presumably 1987. 7:05. A very fast-paced but comprehensive overview
of star formation and supernovae. Uses convincing animation to convey most ideas.
"Supernova"
NASA Astrophysics Div., presumably 1987. 10:00. A
somewhat slower-paced summary of supernovae, with a very quick
overview of starbirth. Focus on the observation of 1987A.
The Mechanical Universe... and Beyond (Series)
This series of 52 thirty-minute programs explores a vast range of topics. Using demonstrations, animations,
interviews, and lectures, it often creates very convincing evidence for physical theory. It is suitable for
introductory physics classes. For a list of topics, visit the Learner.org page.
