CHALLENGE OF QUANTUM REALITY

Quantum physics has revolutionized our understanding of nature and helped catapult humanity into the information age. It describes the subatomic world, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, with phenomenal accuracy. Explore the quantum world in this 30 min. video featuring the double-slit experiment and the concept of wave-particle duality. | watch it now |

EVERYDAY EINSTEIN: GPS & RELATIVITY

The GPS has a vast range of applications. Everyday, it's used by drivers, pilots, surveyors, hikers, and more. But what do Einstein and GPS have in common? Find out in the first Perimeter Inspirations module, GPS & Relativity. | watch it now |

MYSTERY OF DARK MATTER

Over the last few decades, physicists have come to realize that celestial objects that emit any type of light make up only a tiny fraction of the universe.Explore the mysterious substance that makes up about 90% of the mass of every galaxy in the universe called dark matter in this engaging 30 minute video. | watch it now |

MYSTERY OF DARK MATTER VIDEO GAME

A mystery exists: Galaxies do not seem to have enough mass for stars to orbit at their observed speeds. Galaxies should be flying apart, but they don't. Take this challenge and add stars, planets, and black holes to a galaxy and learn how it changes. |play it now |

THE PHYSICS OF INNOVATION

Where does technology come from? Virtually all of the technology we enjoy today is powered by the four key scientific concepts of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, special relativity, and general relativity. Enjoy this inspirational video featuring Dr. Richard Epp, Manager of Scientific Outreach. | watch it now |

POWER OF IDEAS

Major breakthroughs in theoretical physics are often marked by unifications in our understanding, either of the forces of nature or of our conceptual frameworks – our paradigms. Historically, each of these unifications has led to profound benefits for humanity, as we absorb its ramifications and discover creative ways to apply our newfound power. Explore the six most powerful ideas in physics history through this multimedia experience. | more |

PUBLIC LECTURES

Perimeter Institute brings great thinkers from around the world to Canada to share their ideas on a wide variety of interesting and topical subjects. Each event is tailored for the general public and everyone is welcome to attend. No mathematical or scientific knowledge is necessary or assumed.| more |

SCIENCE IN THE PUB

Science in the Pub evenings are educational outreach events tailored for the general public. From the comfort of a chair at home, or from a seat in Perimeter Institute's Black Hole Bistro, enjoy casual and sometimes intense discussions on important issues in science. These casual events involve a moderator, a panel of researchers and other experts, sharing their insights. No mathematical or scientific knowledge is necessary. These events are live streamed and can be viewed at specified event times. | more |

ARTS & CULTURE

Perimeter Institute shares the joys of creative inquiry with the wider community through Event Horizons, an ambitious agenda of top quality musical and cultural events in a unique atmosphere that provides the opportunity to interact with world class artists. | more |
