Explore the Amazon rainforest’s flying rivers, and dig into why these invisible waterways are essential to life on Earth.--The largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon, exists between two rivers — but not in the way you might think.

Travel into the brain to see how its network of neurons transmit your thoughts and what factors determine how quickly you think.--Your mortal enemy has captured you and hooked you up to a bizarre experiment. He’s extended your nervous system with one very long neuron to a target about 70 meters away. At some point, he’s going to fire an arrow. If you can then think a thought to the target before the arrow hits it, he’ll let you go. So who wins that race?

The science of humor - Sasha Winkler 17.09.2026 8λ

Explore the common scientific theories about why humans laugh, and how this universal behavior evolved.--Isn’t it odd that, when something’s funny, you might show your teeth, change your breathing, become weak and achy in some places, and maybe even cry? In other words, why do we do this bizarre thing that is laughter? Since there’s no archaeological record of laughter, it’s impossible to say exactly how and why it evolved, but scientists have some theories. Sasha Winkler digs into the reflex.Lesson by Sasha Winkler, directed by Hanna Rybak.Animal vocalization sounds are courtesy of Dr. Jaak Panksepp, Schwing, R., Nelson, X. J., Wein, A., & Parsons, S.
