Heisenberg Made a Discovery in 1925. We Still Can't Explain It

PBS Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth. Host Matt O'Dowd breaks down both the basic and incredibly complex sides of space and time.

Heisenberg Made a Discovery in 1925. We Still Can't Explain It

Season 11 Episode 18 | 25m 2s | CC
