Shots In The Quark is a physics channel run by me (Dr. Matt Davies). My aim is to explain some of the most advanced, cutting-edge ideas in theoretical physics and philosophy of physics in a way that's accessible to everyone.
Explore my channel @shotsinthequark to find more videos where I take a deep-dive into topics from Relativity and Cosmology to Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics.
