Editor's Take

Closing his series on the atom, Jim Al-Khalili turns to the way probing matter forced science to reconsider reality itself. The film follows quantum theory's affronts to common sense, the discoveries that unsettled long-held assumptions about what exists. Al-Khalili's method is to make difficult ideas legible without pretending they are simple. It works as a capstone, best watched with the earlier installments in mind.

In this final part of his atom series, physicist Jim Al-Khalili explores how studying the atom forced science to rethink the nature of reality itself. The film follows the strange discoveries of quantum theory and the ideas that overturned common sense about matter and existence. Presented in 4K, it makes some of the deepest concepts in physics vivid and approachable. It is a fascinating conclusion to a landmark science series. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
