In the middle of the Cambrian, life on land was about to get a little more crowded. And those newcomers would end up changing the world. The arrival of plants on land would make the world colder, drain much of the oxygen out of the oceans and eventually, it would help cause a massive extinction […]

When it comes to mass extinctions, you probably imagine giant volcanic eruptions or asteroids raining fire from the sky, but sometimes these events can have some unexpected causes. Hosted by: Michael Aranda

In this video I investigate what makes a science a science, and how the scientific method is used in different subjects. I lay out all of the areas of human endeavor and show how they relate to each other from philosophy, through the sciences, to the social sciences, the arts and back to philosophy which […]

Biology is the subject that studies life in all its forms, from the simple cell through to all the animals that inhabit the planet. In this map I lay out the subject of biology and how all of the sub-disciplines are related to each other: microbiology, genetics, bioengineering, anatomy, physiology, medicine, neuroscience, ecology, zoology to […]

Have you ever purchased a ticket for a flight online and have them ask you if you want to buy a carbon credit? What is that? And can carbon credits really slow down the climate crisis? It might sound like all hype, but carbon credits are becoming increasingly popular. By 2050, the demand for them […]

The field of Engineering is amazingly diverse touching just about everything in our world. In this video I attempt to capture all of that diversity in one picture: the Map of Engineering, so that we can get our heads around it all and set some bounds on the subject. If you are interested in learning […]

Our perception of reality is not an exact representation of the objective truth but rather a combination of sensory inputs and the brain’s interpretation of these signals. This interpretation is influenced by past experiences and is often predictive, with the brain creating categories of similar instances to anticipate future events. The brain’s categorization process extends […]

Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks through the evolutionary journey of quantum computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era. Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into parallel universes, which boosts their computational power exponentially. They could revolutionize agriculture, energy, and medicine, solving complex problems like creating […]

Professor Brian Cox builds sandcastles in the Namib Desert to explain why time travels in one direction. It is a result of a phenomenon called entropy; a law of physics that tells us any system tends towards disorder.

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots are bringing a new era to medicine. Advanced medical robots can perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, aid rehabilitation, and provide prosthetics to replace limbs. The combination of extraordinary advances in robotics, medicine, materials science, and computing could bring safer, more efficient, and more widely available patient care in […]

Deep learning, neural networks, imitation games—what does any of this have to do with teaching computers to “learn”?
