The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 17 - Matter

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.

This is the Q&A video for Idea #17, "Matter." We talk about what "matter" means (including in contexts such as cosmology), why you get discrete results when you measure spins, and related issues.
