What happens if you try to cut an electron in half? Can you split it into smaller pieces, or is there a fundamental limit to how far matter can be divided?

Everything around us is made of atoms, and every atom contains electrons. But unlike protons and neutrons, which are made of quarks, electrons appear to have no smaller components. According to modern particle physics, the electron is an elementary particle — one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

In this video, we explore what physics actually predicts when you try to split an electron, why adding more energy doesn't necessarily reveal smaller pieces, and how quantum field theory challenges our everyday understanding of what particles really are.

From quantum mechanics to the Standard Model, this question takes us to the deepest limits of our understanding of matter.

Topics covered: Electrons, quantum mechanics, elementary particles, quantum field theory, particle physics, the Standard Model, and the fundamental structure of matter.

Most people think air is the newest thing in the room. It was just made, right? Plants exhale it. Engines produce it. Weather moves it around. Brand new stuff, every day. The physics tells a very different story. The thing going into your lungs at this exact moment has a history so old that calling it "ancient" is an insult to how old it actually is.
In this video, Feynman zooms from a single breath to the heart of a supernova to the first twenty minutes of the universe, reconstructing the full genealogy of the nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen molecules making up every lungful you've ever taken. Drawing on stellar nucleosynthesis, Big Bang cosmology, and the astonishing evidence of pre-solar grains found inside meteorites, he shows how the air in your room is, quite literally, older than the star that gave Earth its light.

What if the universe's ultimate speed limit isn't a rule at all — but a shape? You've heard it a thousand times: nothing travels faster than light. But what does that actually mean? And why should the universe care how fast you're going?
In this video, we explore why the cosmic speed limit isn't a law imposed from outside, but an inevitable consequence of the geometry of spacetime itself — built from the ground up using the reasoning Einstein, Maxwell, and Minkowski developed. Inspired by Richard Feynman's approach to teaching relativity in The Feynman Lectures on Physics and Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, this lecture strips away the jargon and rebuilds the idea from scratch.
