The series presents the basic laws of physics in a spectacular way. They are explained using everyday objects in order to prove that these principles govern all aspects of our lives. Thanks to quite simple and spectacular experiments it turns out that science is not that difficult. The programme shows how the need for solving fundamental problems led scientists and inventors to design and produce different devices that we use on a daily basis. In the first season of the series we scrutinise everyday appliances, such as fridges, microwave ovens, mobile phones, photo cameras and many others. Even though now these devices are full of complicated electronics, they are based on basic physical laws. What is more, many appliances can be built at home.
