About "CERN and the Sense of Beauty" - Documentary about the world's largest particle accelerator (2017)

Four years after the sensational discovery of the ‘Higgs boson’, the CERN research centre is about to undertake a remarkable new experiment. Ten thousand scientists from around the world will work together, using the largest machine ever built by human beings. The experiment is a journey through the remotest time and on the smallest scale that we can imagine: an exploration of matter about one millionth of a second following the Big Bang that generated our universe. Thus the infinitely small and the vast immensity of the universe together open the doors of an invisible domain, where scientists are guided by something they have in common with artists. Among scientists who can no longer picture Nature and artists who have lost the traditional idea of Beauty, through machines that look like works of art and art installations that look like laboratory experiments, there emerges a portrait of both scientific and artistic practice as investigation and imagination, as the genuine exercise of freedom. At a time when we are torn apart by doubt and disorientation, The Sense of Beauty is a

He Predicted His Own Death — And Sent Messages From Beyond | Wolf’s Message (Documentary, 2025)

Michael 'Wolf' Pasakarnis often claimed that he walked in two worlds at once. An artist with a kind heart and adventurous spirit, he was struck and killed by lightning at 29 years old. He left stunning evidence that he knew where, when, and how it would happen. He came back with an important message for all of us. Now Wolf’s story is a brave and captivating documentary, Wolf’s Message, inspired by the book of the same name by acclaimed author and spiritual teacher, Suzanne Giesemann, which explores the profound true story of a young man's afterlife communication. Directed by filmmaker Jim Spruell, Wolf's Message follows the true story of Wolf's parents, Mike and Beth Pasakarnis. After his passing, they discovered a poem and drawings he left behind, along with other clues about how he would depart from this world. Through Giesemann, they began receiving undeniable and astonishing messages from beyond, offering irrefutable proof of his continued presence. Through intimate interviews, expert insights, and compelling real-life accounts, Wolf’s Message delves into the nature of consciousness, the continuity of love, and the

The first episode finds the farm team arriving at Weald and Downland in West Sussex. There are domestic tasks to tackle, from lighting fires with flint, making meals with depleted crops during the hunger gap and using a tread wheel to fetch water from the well. Peter and Tom's first job is to move the sheep to fresh grass. Wool at this time was known as 'the jewel in the realm', because it generated much of the nation's wealth.

Can You Trust Your Senses? The Science of Perception | Myth or Science (5/6)

What if everything we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel is less reliable than we think? In this documentary, Jennifer Gardy meets scientists using playful, bizarre, and revealing experiments to uncover how the brain builds our perception of reality. As illusions, taste tests, smell trials, touch experiments, and sound tricks expose the hidden links between the senses, the film shows that our experience of the world is not created by one sense at a time, but by a powerful multisensory system that can protect us, mislead us, and even make us feel things that are not really there. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - How Our Senses Create Reality ▷ 01:47 - Seeing Is Believing? ▷ 05:35 - The Truth About Colour ▷ 07:07 - Tasting With Our Eyes ▷ 10:27 - Can Sound Change Taste? ▷ 14:10 - Can We Smell Danger? ▷ 20:02 - Nose Blindness and Bad Smells ▷ 21:24 - Do Names Change What We Smell? ▷ 26:39 - The Rubber Hand Illusion ▷ 32:45 - Can Seeing Make Us Itch? ▷ 37:19 - Can We Trust

Margaret Thatcher: The Iron Lady Who Changed Britain Forever (Documentary, 2012)

The major film The Iron Lady features a critically acclaimed performance by Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – The Iron Lady of the Western World. From her humble beginnings as a Grocer’s daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative Party elite and the scepticism of the British electorate to become the greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. Although Margaret Thatcher broke down the barriers and became a pathfinder for a new generation of women in politics, she was not averse to using her good looks and sexuality to help convince other leaders that hers was the right course of action. It was not for nothing that French Premier Francois Mitterrand said that she had ‘the eyes of Caligula and the mouth of Marilyn Monroe’. But most of all Margaret Thatcher was a conviction politician. Never scared of criticism or negative opinion polls, she fought for what she believed was right and just: whether that was fighting against the Argentine invasion of the Falklands
