The Science Of Skin Color

An hour long music documentary about Trentemøller's fourth album Fixion. The film accompanies the danish musician and producer from the first steps towards the new album and gives intimate insights into his studio- and live work.

A compilation expose of some of the most common tactics of government #disinformation campaigns, such as #astroturfing, Operation #Cointelpro (counter intelligence programs), Project Mockingbird, psychological operations and false flags, #propaganda, government internet trolls, and their mission and agendas in every field of information from #science, to #health, #nutrition to activism, to clandestine government initiatives, and so much more. In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.

What new methods of analysis have been developed in the age-old struggle to discover if someone is telling the truth...or not? Some scientists have gone beyond the polygraph to model other ways of detecting whether we are getting a straight answer or being led down a crooked path.

Five scientists (Carol Padden, Victor Ferreira, Martin Monti, Ellen Bialystok, Greg Hickok) explore the question of what language is, from investigations on bilingualism and its relation with neuroplasticity to what it means to have an impairment when using sign language.

Sydney is an ambitious young evolutionary anthropologist trying to find evidence for true love by monitoring brain activity. Her boss, Ileana, is a cultural anthropologist and refuses to accept Syd's line of experimentation. At a party to attract funding for Sydney's research, it's a shock for her to discover she isn't only NOT in love with her fiancé (a computer tech) but she IS completely in love with Ileana, her boss.

The Sounds of the Sounds of Science is a score written by Yo La Tengo for filmmaker Jean Painlevé. It contains 78 minutes of instrumental music to accompany his eight short documentary-style films shot underwater.

In recent years, the public has gradually discovered that there is a crisis in science. But what is the problem? And how bad is it, really? Today on The Corbett Report we shine a spotlight on the series of interrelated crises that are exposing the way institutional science is practiced today, and what it means for an increasingly science-dependent society.

In The Science of Miracles, you will discover paradigm-shattering revelations that demonstrate why we are not limited by the Laws of physics and biology as we know them today, and why our DNA is a code that we can change and upgrade by choice! The implications of these discoveries are vast, powerful, and for some, challenging. They show us, beyond a reasonable doubt, that we can reverse disease, redefine aging, create peace between nations, and evan change reality itself through the focused power of belief and heart-based emotion. It is these seemingly miraculous abilities that create the life-affirming joys in our lives that become the reality of our world. They are all based on the same principle!

The life, past and future (as imagined by himself), of Irish musician Adrian Crowley.

What does our brain do when we sleep? How do we function without sleep? Our experts tell us what happens to us while we rest and dream.

Dr Helen Czerski goes on a spectacular journey to the extremes of the temperature scale, where everyday laws of physics break down and a new world of scientific possibility begins.

Metamorphosis seems like the ultimate evolutionary magic trick - the amazing transformation of one creature into a totally different being: one life, two bodies.

Dr George McGavin and Dr Zoe Laughlin set up base camp at one of the UK's biggest sewage works to investigate the revolutionary science finding vital renewable resources and undiscovered life in human waste. Teaming up with world-class scientists, they search for biological entities in sewage with potentially lifesaving medical properties, find out how pee can generate electricity, how gas from poo can fuel a car and how nutrients in waste can help solve the soil crisis. They follow each stage of the sewage treatment process, revealing what the stuff we flush can tell us about how we live today, and the mindboggling biotechnology being harnessed to clean it, making the wastewater safe enough to return to the environment.

How to create the imagination of movement for fun parks is the theme of this documentary. Although engineers try and try to create machines that shake, tilt, turn, lift and drop people in a way that fools their senses, the real McCoy cannot be imitated: Roller Coasters just let you experience movement much, much more intense than everything else - even on the screen.

A clip in the Science Please collection, The State of the Matter uses archival footage, animated illustrations and amusing narration to explain how temperature affects the state of matter.

MontanaPBS's new documentary, Clearing the Smoke, reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer. Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis.

A clip in the Science Please! collection, The Force of Water uses archival footage, animated illustration and amusing narration to explain the Archimedes principle, of why some things float and others sink.

Do Walt Disney Imagineers encounter resistance in their work? Of course they do... when it comes to friction! Here the Imagineers showcase how different types of friction - static, kinetic, and rolling - come into play when they're designing Disney's theme park rides and attractions. From rollercoaster wheels for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to the shape of a Disney Cruise Line ship's hull, the Imagineers can use tribology (the study of friction) to find ways to reduce drag. Students will learn the different types of friction as well as the roles that gravity and Newton's First Law play.

What scientific principle do the Imagineers turn to when they want to make a splash? Fluid dynamics! In this DVD, the Imagineers demonstrate how they use fluids to their advantage in constructing rides and attractions like Grizzly River Run and The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Students will learn that a fluid is any substance that flows or moves easily due to its molecular make-up. They will also discover how fluid dynamics help us learn how fluids move and behave and how fluids can be used to create mechanical advantage.

Which attractive force propels the launch of Rock n' Rollercoaster® at Disney's Hollywood Studios? Magnetism! In this DVD, the Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use magnets of all types throughout Disney's theme parks. From magnetic connectors that direct guests through attractions like The Seas with Nemo and Friends to playing back sound through audio speakers in Pirates of the Caribbean, Imagineers employ the forces of magnetism in a variety of ways. Students will learn about the attraction and repulsion of opposite poles, magnetic fields and domains, and electromagnets.
