About Kids need to go outside, take risks, and just play around – here is what scientists have to say
Recent research in the field of animal behaviour reveals that play is no laughing matter — so much so that evolutionary biologists believe it to be one of the keys to surviving. That’s how much it benefits the brain. And they’re learning it’s not just people and pets that play, but reptiles, amphibians, insects... In this documentary, specialists from various disciplines present studies and evidence that underscore the importance of play. Their insights range from human experiments and real-life cases to observations of bonobos, hamsters, Komodo dragons, and social spiders. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Intro ▷ 01:28 – National Institute for Play ▷ 04:12 – Reptile Ethology (Gordon Burghardt – Tennessee) ▷ 08:31 – Seattle Aquarium (Kathryn Kegel – Washington) ▷ 11:57 – Primatology (Elisabetta Palagi – Stuttgart) ▷ 15:28 – Behavioural Ecology (Jonathan Pruitt – Tennessee) ▷ 19:38 – Behavioural Neuroscience (Sergio Pellis – Alberta) ▷ 22:58 – Behavioural Neuroscience (Matthew Cooper – Tennessee) ▷ 26:16 – Psychiatry (Stuart Brown – California) ▷ 30:11 – Developmental Psychology (Mariana Brussoni – British Columbia) ▷ 36:56 – Developmental Psychology (Kathy

Maren Hunsberger is a microbiologist who, after taking a biological aging blood test, discovers that she has aged 14 years faster than expected. In this episode, she sets out to explore whether it's possible to slow or even stop the aging process altogether. Maren attends RAADFest, known as the Woodstock of radical life extension, and skeptically tries various products and devices that claim anti-aging effects. For a more scientific perspective, Maren travels to MIT to delve into research on extending longevity. At the MIT AgeLab, she experiences firsthand the feeling of aging-related muscle loss. Moving on to regenerative medicine, Maren visits the groundbreaking Texas Heart Institute and, unexpectedly, an aquarium in Las Vegas. In an Amish community, a genetic mutation allows family members to live longer than average. This longevity gene could unlock the secrets to controlling our aging rate. Maren speaks with community members to learn more about their lifestyle. Similarly, she talks to Lillian Solomon, a healthy centenarian who exercises regularly. Maren’s journey concludes at UCLA, where she meets the creator of the blood test that determines biological

The Kaaba, a stone square building in the sacred city of Mecca, is the holiest site in Islam, serving as the direction of prayer (qibla) for Muslims all around the world. However, Canadian historian Dan Gibson believes that Muslims have been praying in the wrong direction for the last fifteen hundred years. The Quran commands them to pray towards the "forbidden gathering place," and according to Gibson's interpretation, archaeological and historical evidence indicates that this place is not in Mecca, Saudi Arabia – but the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – Intro ▷ 0:00:25 – A new era of research ▷ 0:02:31 – Dan Gibson ▷ 0:03:57 – Mecca ▷ 0:05:48 – Arabian history ▷ 0:11:12 – Descriptions in the Quran ▷ 0:12:50 – Early maps of Arabia ▷ 0:13:37 – Islamic records are myths ▷ 0:14:35 – Another location fits the description ▷ 0:15:53 – Representation of Gods and sacred places ▷ 0:17:57 – Masjid al-Haram, the Forbidden Gathering Place ▷ 0:20:55 – The original qibla: analysing surviving mosques ▷ 0:31:12 – Petra ▷

Learn about the fascinating wild horses of Australia’s Snowy Alps. These hardy creatures, introduced in 1788, have adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth. Over time, they have evolved into a resilient population that roams the rugged mountains, facing formidable predators like dingoes and venomous snakes, and surviving extreme seasonal changes. The horses’ presence in the Alps, however, comes with controversy. While they are seen as symbols of freedom and endurance, their grazing habits are damaging the delicate alpine ecosystem. Rare species, such as the cobber frog and mountain pygmy possum, are at risk from habitat destruction caused by the horses' hooves. To control the population, the annual "Brumby Run" sees these wild horses captured and often culled, though some are trained and re-homed. This documentary offers a unique insight into the struggles of both the horses and the environment they inhabit.

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
