This DVD offers an exploration of the various more or less organized states of matter. It seeks to define matter (John Bell, Roger Penrose, and Allan Guth offer their views) and the various states of matter: crystals, superconductors, superfluids, plasma; turbulence as a state of matter, in the lab and the atmosphere; chaos and orbital chaos; the double pendulum; the second Copernican revolution. On-camera explanations are given by Roger Penrose, Jerry Torrance, Jerome Cuomo, Ian Hutchinson, Ted Yang, Uriel Frisch, Benoit Mandelbrot, Jack Wisdom, and others.
