Here you will find a collection of the best scientific documentaries available online. Focus here is on quality above quantity. There is an endless heap of documentaries that are "scientific" but in fact are not, instead filled with metaphysical ideas, UFOs, bio energies and other meta-sciences. You will not find those here. Other thing is the quantity of information in every documentary itself, often being very low but instead full of special effects and dramatic monologue. Hopefully you won't find those here either.

What you will find are informative, revealing, interesting, mind-boggling and above all scientific documentaries about the marvels of the world surrounding us, or the marvels of human ingenuity.

The Elegant Universe

String theory, a developing theory in particle physics which attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. There aren't many documentaries on the subject unfortunately, so this one is in some parts a bit irritatingly slow,childishly simple and technical terms are kept at a minimum (and in some cases a bit below minimum), but aside from that, it still is very informing about the string theory itself.

It is an adaptation from a book by Brian Greene and was originally aired on PBS's NOVA.
