- The Laws of Motion. In Our Time. BBC Radio 4 (2008). In 1687 Isaac Newton attempted to explain the movements of everything in the universe, from a pea rolling on a plate to the position of the planets. Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Newton's Laws of Motion. It was a brilliant, vaultingly ambitious and fiendishly complex task; it took him three sentences.

- Inertia. Galileo risks his favored status to answer the questions of the universe with his law of inertia.
- Newton's Laws. Newton lays down the laws of force, mass, and acceleration.
- Three Incorrect Laws of Motion. Veritasium. YouTube (2011). Newton's Three Laws of Motion are a landmark achievement in physics. They describe how all objects move. Unfortunately most people do not really understand Newton's Laws because they have pre-existing ideas about the way the world works. This film is about those pre-existing ideas. By recognizing what people are thinking, it becomes easier to describe the correct scientific concepts of Newton's Three Laws and how they differ from this "intuitive physics".
