Quarks and Particle Physics

It’s hard to do demonstrations about subatomic particles unless you happen to have a giant accelerator under your back garden: see the CERN Podcast for more on that. Meanwhile, here’s a quick introduction to the subject, done with felt-tipped pens.

For a somewhat more in-depth introduction, here’s the Wikipedia page on Quarks.

I like this!

An excellent mix of styles, confident presentation, a bit of wit, and stopping before the joke’s worn thin — great judgement, and very nicely put together.

People often fret about music, and it’s true that it can be a licensing minefield and/or extremely time-consuming. This film makes excellent use of the podcasting tracks included with Garageband — if you have access to a Mac, it’ll probably already have a whole load of music like this that’s pre-licensed for just this sort of work.

See our notes on music for some other options.

really cool

nice job, i gave u a rating of 3 since the information that was given on the preliminaries of the quantum mechanics of fundamental elementary particles of the physical nature of the universe was not the best way to define or describe the natural forces or phenomenal activities and characteristic properties of quarks, etc. I do know that you are very young, therefore, the level of quantum physics or particle physics is low, but i felt the presentation entertaining! Good job! It was fun for a theoretical physicist like me to watch!

What a well written and amusing film Really mature,confident and engaging commentary too. The music was a top choice, and the ending has just made me laugh and loud and scare my cat. oops! Good Luck

This is ace. It's fun original and takes your imagination to places a camera can't go to!
