Huge If True

This machine found something scientists thought was impossible… In the middle of the desert, miles from any city, are two HUGE concrete tubes. They’re part of a giant machine running the most precise experiment humans have ever built… Each tube is 4 kilometers long, and inside there’s a big metal pipe. And at the end of each pipe, scientists place some of the smoooooothest mirrors ever made. And then they fire a powerful laser that gets split down each tube, bouncing it back and forth… building up more and more power… until… they bring those beams back together… to discover something that just 100 years ago scientists thought was impossible to find! Finding it took hundreds of scientists and over a billion dollars. But what did we find?? And what’s the cutting edge we’re finding NOW that makes those scientists want to build… AN EVEN BIGGER ONE? Let me show you…

This is the craziest Olympic sport by far. Trust me. Every four years, people lose their minds over one Olympic sport. They make fun of it! But the more I learned about it, the more obsessed I got… and I realized that all these people making fun? They’re getting this totally wrong. This is the coolest Olympic sport by far. The sport I’m talking about is… CURLING. From stones so unique they all have to come from one tiny island, to a tech doping scandal nobody wants to talk about. It’s a game with strategy so complicated it’s called “chess on ice”. And a physics mystery that’s gone unsolved for over a century that could one day help us design robots for space. And that’s just the start… Trust me, you don’t know enough about Curling…YET. So I’m going to take you onto the ice at the Olympic Trials… to show you what everyone’s missing and why Curling is the Olympic sport you should be watching.

The deeper you go, the weirder it gets... Gigantic, monstrous, beautiful creatures thrive in the cold dark depths of our oceans. Until now though, most of our discoveries have just required decades of work for the chance to just get… lucky.

Something's hiding below the ice in Antarctica…. In 1970, a team of Soviet scientists started drilling. For 28 years, they kept going… until after nearly 4,000 meters… they suddenly stopped. Because they’d found something unimaginable: Liquid water. A secret lake, down below all this ice, that had been completely sealed off from the rest of the world for 15 million years. How? And… is there something alive in there? Creatures that have been evolving separately from the rest of the planet for 15 million years? Scientists started searching for more of these secret lakes, and as they did, they realized there is way more going on under Antarctica than we ever thought. I needed to know the truth about Earth’s most remote continent. So I've come all the way to Antarctica to show you what's really happening down below this ice. And exactly what they discovered when they finally broke inside…

Most people think of diamonds as expensive jewelry, or maybe as super-hard drills. But everyone’s missing the coolest story here… We’ve built giant machines that can recreate the conditions inside our planet. And found new ways to make diamonds way cheaper, now unlocking the hidden potential of this super material. People are sending diamonds into space, adding them to massive computers, and using them to help solve one of the biggest technological problems we’re about to face. This is about pushing the limits of material science to benefit all of us. So in this video, we’re getting rare access inside a lab where they make diamonds to see how they actually do it… And we’re gonna shrink down inside your computer to show you why diamonds are not what you think.
