Science – Video Clump

We move around in space, but we are stuck in a prison of time moving ever forwards. Einstein said, “The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Is our experience of the ticking clock merely a trick of the mind? Could science ever make the clock move backwards?

Experiments in quantum physics are showing that the future influences the present: what happens later limits the choices we think we have now. The laws of physics say visiting or talking to ourselves in the past is possible – but changing history once we get there is not.

Science Channel’s triple Emmy – nominated hit series Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman is back for its sixth and most provocative season to date In six all-new episodes that tackle such tough topics as race, religion and our future as a species, the series will challenge viewers as never before.

This season has a whole new look with an inspired set design and interactive features. Now, viewers will have greater access to the conversation with the 360 degree Wormhole experience. Leading scientists, who lend their voices and research to the show, will participate live through our website and social feed and join in the debate. From the topics of bigotry to whether our reality is virtual to the human proclivity for lying, the new season will challenge everything you know about space, time and morality.

Through the Wormhole episode 51 – Can Time Go Backwards ?

Academy Award-winning actor and space enthusiast Morgan Freeman executive produces hosts and narrates this exploration of the greatest mysteries of the universe. This new series, produced by Freeman’s Revelations Entertainment, seeks the answers to the big questions: Are we alone? Where did we come from? Is there life on other planets?

From the latest work at NASA and private enterprise facilities to the latest theories from academics and researchers, this series looks at black holes, colonizing the planets, string theory and more. Science Channel invites viewers on the journey as Morgan Freeman picks up where Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” left off and explores the new frontiers of what is beyond Earth.

Through the Wormhole brings together the brightest minds and best ideas from the very edges of science — Astrophysics, Astrobiology, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and more — to reveal the extraordinary truth of our Universe.

Through the Wormhole episode 50 – Are We All Bigots ?

If you had less than one second to make a life-or-death decision to shoot a man who might be armed with a lethal weapon, what would you do? Would the ethnicity of the man affect your decision? Are you sure? The outcome – whatever your race – will surprise you. Brain imaging studies are showing that negative cultural stereotypes hijack everyone’s subconscious decision-making.

But some science says we can overcome bigotry through exposure, self-awareness and flexible social networks… and, most controversially of all, ultra-violent video games!

Through the Wormhole episode 49 – When Did Time Begin ?

We float along the river of time. But does that river have a source? Where did time come from? Some believe time and space are one thing, and the Big Bang started the cosmic clock. Others believe the universe existed for almost half a million “years” before light could move and time began. Still others say time is older than our universe. But what if time itself is an illusion? Incredible new experiments may hold the answer. One groundbreaking experiment gives us the power to punch holes in time…and another may create a machine that operates outside time’s boundaries!

In this fifth season, Morgan Freeman walks us Through The Wormhole and into the mind-bending realities defining our universe. Exploring topics from gravity to poverty, these ten episodes set out on scientific quests for answers to our most puzzling questions. Is there such a thing as a shadow universe? When did time begin? Is a zombie apocalypse possible? Does the ocean think? Quantum physicists, biologists, statisticians, neuroscientists, and more of the world s greatest minds take a synergistic approach to provide practical answers and pose even more questions in an attempt to explain the unexplained.

Through the Wormhole episode 48 – Is there a Shadow Universe ?

When we look up into the sky it appears we live in a universe that is filled with light. But scientists are now certain there is far more matter in the dark portions of our universe that we can’t see or touch. There’s something hiding in the shadows. Cosmologists agree that “dark matter” has helped shape our Universe, but now they need to figure out what dark matter is. What’s going on in this hidden world ? Could it have formed its own dark stars, planets, and even life forms ? Could this Shadow Universe threaten our world of light ?

Through the Wormhole episode 47 – Will We Become God ?

July 12, 2018September 10, 2018 Facut in casa

Humanity’s potential seems limitless. But could we become as powerful as God? Scientific breakthroughs grant our species seemingly divine abilities. Biologists tinkering with DNA are figuring out ways to grow new life forms, while neuroscientists try to create artificial consciousness. Statisticians around the world are using big data to predict the future and computer scientists have discovered a “God algorithm” that could solve any global problem in an instant. But to truly become God, we not only have to be all knowing, but all being. Quantum physicists are figuring out how to teleport matter at the speed of light!
