The Dream That Wouldn't Let Go
The Dream That Wouldn't Let Go It started like any other dream, a familiar scene from my childhood – the old playground near my grandparents' house. The swing set creaked as I pumped my legs back and forth, propelling myself higher and higher, my laughter echoing through the empty park. But then, something shifted. The sky darkened, and a sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach.

The Most Unusual Planets in the Universe
On the planet t-r-e-s-2b, the night never ends. This isn't your typical Knight, where stars shine in lovely skies; instead, it's utterly dark and sweltering. In the star system of 55 Cancri, there are five planets, four of which are gas giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn, but the fifth planet, or rather the first because it's closest to the star, is different in a horrifying way. High Tres 2B is a gas giant that is about 1.5 times more massive than Jupiter. Its surface absorbs light better than charcoal and it may also have a faint dark red glow due to its burning air, which is as hot as fresh lava. 55 Cancrie is very near its

These Ancient Animals Scarier Than Dinosaurs
The first thought would be that there is hardly anyone on Earth who has never heard of dinosaurs; in fact, we learn about them as children from cartoons, toys, drawings, movies, videos, articles, and even everyday advertisements. Because ancient lizards are frequently shown in unexpected places, the average city dweller knows more about dinosaurs than about a bird perched on a branch outside their window. Are there many people who are knowledgeable about what existed before the dinosaurs? What animals lived 100 million years before them? What terrifying beasts lived 50 million years after them? We bet there are far fewer experts here, but there must have been

Origin Of The Great Flood: The Lost Cities
While there are many tales of ancient cataclysm, Noah's flood is just one of them. But what if it could be linked to an actual event that occurred thousands of years ago in an unexpected place—Bulgaria and the Black Sea Coast— I'm tracing the history of the most famous flood tales on [Music] with the use of cutting edge technology. Earth I will never forget that sound as I travel across continents in pursuit of extinct ancient cities to learn what it takes to transform a calamity into a legend.

What was Earth like in the age of giant insects
Welcome to the Carboniferous period. Why were insects so enormous during this time? What role did oxygen play? Why did these insects look like this? Over 300 million years ago, before the age of giant dinosaurs, Earth was covered with giant insects. Imagine a world where dragonflies are the size of crows and millipedes are as long as cars. Large swamps and warm, humid forests dominated the landscape during the Carboniferous period, which was one of the most transformative in Earth's history. Giant insects weren't the only enormous creatures roaming the planet; there was also a vast array of other enormous creatures.

If all humans died, when would the last light go out?
Allan poses this question: "How long would it take for the last artificial light source to go out if all humans somehow just vanished from the face of the Earth?" Let's start with the obvious: most lights wouldn't last very long because the major power grids would go down relatively quickly without people. However, our refrigerators, air conditioners, and lava lamps would still be running fossil fuel plants, which provide the vast majority of the world's electricity. These plants require a steady supply of fuel, and their supply chains do involve human activity. As a result, other power sources would be burdened with the additional load.

Egg Drop From Space
This is space, and this is an egg, just before I tried the highest egg drop in history. If you were never given the opportunity to participate in an egg drop competition in school, the objective is to construct a device that can prevent a raw egg from cracking when it is dropped from the highest height. Since people are constantly creating taller buildings, my original plan was to drop an egg in a contraption I made from the highest building in the world. I therefore realized that in order to truly future-proof this record, I would have to reach the very top and travel straight to space. Additionally, three years ago when I embarked on this journey, I knew if

Unsettling Sky Phenomena
- [Narrator] Have you ever seen something strange out your window on a clear, dark night? It could have been a train of stars creeping across the sky or a spiral of lights slowly engulfing the dark. There are times when what we see appears so strange that we assume it must be our imagination. However, even those who are able to photograph such scenes discover that they are difficult to explain. So let's go down the rabbit hole of eerie sky phenomena that have been captured on camera and are difficult to explain, but hopefully not impossible. (pictures of whooshing) The strange spiral. At 6:45 a.m. on December 9, 2009, the sky over Norway was illuminated by an enormous, enigmatic spiral, rather than a sunrise. It grew larger and larger over time.

Embarrassingly Dumb Ways People Died
[Narrator] It isn't possible. Is this time really here again? Have so many more people really eliminated themselves in a progressively foolish and awkward manner from the gene pool? That makes sense, or else I wouldn't be prepared to give you part 17 of this series. (Bartholomew Eggbert yelling in amazement) Whoa. Not only that, but I haven't finished reading all of the stories yet. Now let's look at some more Darwin Award winners, from self-steaming stupidity to clumsy attempts at diving. (Slightly tense music) - Whoa. (Dings of bells) - [Narrator] The helmet—what is it? It is recommended that you wear a helmet when riding a motorbike, bicycle, or even a scooter. Really, nobody wins a fight with the pavement when they are traveling at a fast pace. Avoid
