According to Cox, black holes are intriguing because they challenge the compatibility of quantum theory and general relativity, creating a fundamental clash in our understanding of nature. Unifying these two pillars of physics is a major goal for theoretical physicists, and black holes are crucial in this pursuit. He also delves into the characteristics of black holes, describing the event horizon as a boundary between the external universe and the interior of the black hole. In conclusion, he says, black holes play a pivotal role in our understanding of the universe, pushing scientists to explore the nature of space, time, and the fundamental laws of physics. They offer a glimpse into something deeply hidden, potentially leading to a profound shift in our comprehension of reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCYm_6Xapf8; How I Became A Millionaire In My 20's (my story); 18:14; Today, I share my passive income ideas that made me a millionaire in my 20's.

The Bobo doll experiment is the name for a series of experiments performed by psychologist Albert Bandura to test his social learning theory. Between 1961 and 1963, he studied the behaviour of children after they watched an adult model act aggressively towards a Bobo the clown doll. The most famous version of the experiment measured the children's behaviour after seeing an adult model rewarded, punished, or experience no consequence for physically attacking the Bobo doll. The results of the experiment would be used as the justification of the anti video game movement of the 1980 and 1990s. The study was considered controversial but not as bad as the Baby Albert study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdMCL9_UTE4; Mental health and resilience - the secrets of inner strength | DW Documentary; 51:55; Around one billion people struggle with stress-related illness globally - and that figure is rising. What protects those with good mental health? Is their resilience innate? Or is the ability to withstand chronic stress and crisis something that can be learned? In the search for answers, the film visits some of the leading figures in resilience research. The filmmakers also interview epigeneticists and neuroscientists. In the largest European resilience center in Mainz, Germany, researchers conduct a long-term study to explore the mechanisms deployed by people who enjoy good mental health despite stress and crisis. In southern France, the film meets Boris Cyrulnik, a pioneer of resilience research. His credo: when it comes to resilient behavior, it’s not just down to us - society and politics also have a responsibility to create appropriate conditions for stable psychological health. And the film tells the moving story of two families united by tragedy: following the violent death of their two sons, who were friends, they struggle to find their way back to some semblance of normal life. Our experiences, our environment and our genes - all influence our powers of mental resilience. Resilience isn’t a magic word or a promise of happiness, but a life-long learning process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8R4EmAg1FU; Here’s How Aristotle CHANGED HISTORY! - History Documentary; 1:41:44; Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers in history, shaped the foundations of Western thought and science.

It’s at hostile environments like these where extremophiles, to the bewilderment of scientists, are able to survive on our planet where all other life can’t. “What I do is, I go to these extreme environments and I look at microbial relatives of ancient life. The early Earth did not have oxygen—we’re talking four billion years ago, when life developed on Earth,” explains McKay. In episode four of The Most Unknown, psychologist Axel Cleeremans joins Luke McKay to search for Earth analogues of probable extraterrestrial life at Nevada’s Great Boiling Spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c-bgRDPalg; Decoding the Human Brain With Robotic Limbs; 9:47; The human brain is composed of around 88 billion neurons, with each neuron connecting to about 10,000 other neurons.

So Why Are Farmers Struggling? | Big Business; 22:33; Turmeric has been cooked into staple dishes and used in herbal medicine for thousands of years in India. But in the last decade, the spice has taken on new life in the West, encapsulated into tablets and pressed into juice shots. That’s all thanks to America’s newest obsession: curcumin. The healthy compound is found only in turmeric and is responsible for the spice’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers. Health companies in the US and Europe are willing to pay big bucks to get turmeric with a curcumin level above 5%. But Indian farmers, who grow most of the world’s supply, can’t cash in. What they produce isn’t that high in curcumin — only about 2%. Meanwhile, other countries, like Fiji, are creeping in, growing more turmeric with higher levels of the compound for Western markets. So what does it take to make a healthier, more valuable turmeric? And is there a way for farmers in India to cash in on Western demand? https://youtu.be/-z6s4CepwnQ?si=qO642tGJJlhchgxV; 101-Year-Old American Veteran Shares His Secrets To A Long, Happy Life | Business Insider; 20:08; Jack Weber, a World War II veteran, has lived through the Great Depression, global conflict, personal loss, and a century of change — and he’s still thriving.

This 1997 book predates Epstein's original "little black book" by at least seven years. The original book dates to 2004 and was published in 2015. While the Trump administration says it won't disclose more files on Epstein, this older address book reminds us of Epstein's vast connections to prominent figures, including Melania Trump's best friend, Christopher Cuomo's wife, and an advisor in the first Trump administration. Business Insider took extensive steps to verify the authenticity of the book, including hiring a forensic document examiner to determine whether it had been recently forged or altered. https://youtu.be/1CCShSBGVLQ?si=-0fJTzTvH9jKE3Ss; How Arizona Has Kept Its Iced Tea 99 Cents | Still Standing | Business Insider; 14:03; AriZona Beverages iced tea cans have cost 99¢ since the company was founded more than 30 years ago. But if the price were adjusted for inflation, those cans would be around $2.30 today. The company was founded by Don Vultaggio and John Ferolito in 1992, and back then, the competition was stiff with Snapple leading the market, and other powerful beverage brands launching their own iced teas, like Lipton and Nestea. At the time, these brands were all selling iced tea for around one dollar, but in 1997, AriZona decided to put its price directly on the can, making it awkward if individual store owners decided to increase the price. While prices for other brands, and even other AriZona products, have risen with inflation, AriZona's cans still have the 99¢ printed on them. https://youtu.be/RCocaLOjhEc?si=0gmdLXFoZZRkTR17; ts Like California’s High-Speed Rail Almost Always Fail | Business Insider; 20:25; Dan Gardner is the coauthor of "How Big Things Get Done," which explores why so many billion-dollar projects, from nuclear power plants to Olympic Games, go wrong and how the rare few succeed. Drawing on data from over 16,000 megaprojects, Gardner and his coauthor Bent Flyvbjerg reveal the startling truth: Only 0.5% of big projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with the promised results. Business Insider interviewed Dan Gardner to learn about some of the world's most high-profile projects, like the Sydney Opera House, which soared 1,400% over budget, and the troubled California High-Speed Rail, which is expected to cost over $100 billion and hasn't moved any passengers yet.

Maps and satellite images show us that maybe now is the time to reconsider how and where the city rebuilds. We spoke with environmental scientists, wildfire survivors, real estate agents, and urban planners. Their message was clear: the fires tearing through California are getting larger, faster, and more destructive, and business as usual is no longer sustainable. Will the tragedy of January 2025 finally serve as a wake-up call for Los Angeles, or will the city remain stuck in a cycle of build, burn, repeat?
