Designing Organs for the Future of Humankind: Artificial Hearts & Pig Hearts | Gods Like Us (1/3)

Climate change, pollution, depleting natural resources… the consequences of global energy production are numerous and of great concern. The situation is critical; it’s time we started producing in a way that meets the growing needs of populations and building the future, all the while preserving the planet. Going forward, what innovations will enable us to be independent tomorrow? What will the energy of the future look like?

Better production methods, consuming more responsibly, eating healthier… these challenges are a key concern for populations. With an ever-growing awareness, the mass distribution sector is undergoing a huge upheaval and innovations are emerging that advocate a more sustainable and local distribution chain. Purchasing goods is no trivial act, and we must learn to shop differently. So, how will be shopping in the future? What inventions will enable us to produce, buy or even eat differently?

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

What if the food advice we follow every day is wrong? In Episode 3: Myth or Science?, Dr Jennifer Gardy investigates the everyday health claims that shape how we eat, drink, and think about our bodies. Do we really need eight glasses of water a day? Does sugar make children hyper? Is the five-second rule safe? Can caffeine improve memory? And can the size or colour of a plate change how much we eat? Through real experiments, expert analysis, and surprising results, this episode uncovers the science behind common food myths - from hydration and dieting to brain performance and eating habits. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Intro: Food Myths Tested ▷ 01:02 - Do We Need 8 Glasses of Water? ▷ 04:19 - Hydration Results ▷ 06:43 - Hidden Water in Food ▷ 09:16 - Does Sugar Make Kids Hyper? ▷ 12:01 - The Sugar Party Experiment ▷ 14:47 - Beer Goggles Tested ▷ 19:26 - The Five-Second Rule ▷ 23:20 - The Blood Type Diet ▷ 28:08 - Plate Size and Weight Loss ▷ 33:52 - Can Caffeine

Brutal Battles of WW1 & WW2 told by one German Solider. German Soldier’s letters and dairies reveal what life was really like for men fighting in the trenches on the frontline in the First World War. Published for the first time in this feature documentary, Wilhelm's letters and photos have been entrusted to History Hit by his family. Born in central Germany in 1888. Wilhelm studied to become a teacher, but like so many of his generation, was called to serve in the First World War. From 1914 to 1918 he saw action on the western front, where he experienced the horrors of trench warfare and endured the loss of some of his closest friends. Unlike many of his comrades, Wilhelm survived the war but returned to a defeated nation in the grips of political turmoil Wilhelm would play no part in the violent political battles of the early 1920s and instead would return to the classroom - but the coming of the great depression and the rise to power of the Nazis - would alter the course of his
