New clip deals with the nature of matter and quantum fields

As I promised last week, we continue our coverage of the new video series by Minute Physics, which deals with explaining the sought-for Theory of Everything. Last week, we saw an intro explaining what the series would be covering. This week, we move on to more serious matters.

The second clip deals mostly with explaining the Pauli Exclusion Principle, a concept that provides the basis for defining matter. In addition, the reason why electrons don't really get along with each other is also touched on.

An explanation for what the quantum field is, and how it allows for the “summoning” of various particles, is also provided. It's very easy to keep track with what the announcer is saying, so you should definitely check this one out. The first video is here.
