"Forces of Nature" illustrates how we experience Earth's natural forces, including shape, elements, color and motion. Although we can't immediately feel the motion of Earth's fundamental forces, we witness the consequences, such as tidal bores surging through the Amazon rainforest or the intense and ruinous power of hurricanes.

The Universe in a Snowflake

58 mins

Professor Cox tries to explain how the fundamental forces of nature, especially gravity, shape realty into the tiniest details, even what seems as random as the endless variation among snowflakes. He also shows with Catalonia's traditional human pyramids and the hexagonal basic shape of bee hives -to store honey which is perilously harvested in the Himalayas- how geometry vitally distributes forces.
