Does science fiction count? I learned to beware tampering with DNA. lol
The last one I remember watching was one of those "how they built it" shows ... and I learned they build the entire tower of the aircraft carrier separate, and use a giant crane to move it into position.
I watch so many it all becomes a blur to actually remember what ones I've watched on any day...I'm watching one now about gaint stone heads being uncovered in Mexico 80 years ago...it's not science ,but still very interesting....nothing like the normal crap tv shows shown on tv....:(
I like that program. Really I like them all. Ever since I was little I've spent untold hours losing myself in science shows and there are sooooo many. Whenever I start down that rabbit hole online it always results in a tremendous amount of sleep deprivation. I'm not sure it helps me to try and learn anything when I'm so starved for rest that my brain won't function, but complete delirium has never stopped me before so...
I watched a special about the Supervolcano called "Yellowstone Park" and the caldera which is beneath it.
5 miles below the surface, there is a chamber larger than Mt.Everest that erupts every 650,000 years or so. The last time it erupted was approximately 640,000 years ago with the force of about 10000 Mt.St Helens. It spoojed enough material to cover the state of Texas 12 feet thick (at least there's an upside). Not only would the US be destroyed, but the eruptions would affect the global weather, throwing the earth into darkness and a major ice age. Humans could very well become extinct
Yes dear, I know. That's what you were watching last night while ignoring me. Is that what I need to do to get your attention? Erupt with a forceful expulsion of hot fluid? Geez!
I always watch The Coyote's Crazy Smart Science Show. Its mostly about aboriginal contributions to science the last episode I watched was about how aboriginals used science hundreds of years ago to preserve food and hides. Cheers!
