Absolute Zero Conquest of Cold

   2007    Technology
This scientific detective tale tells the story of a remarkable group of pioneers who wanted to reach the ultimate extreme: absolute zero, a place so cold that the physical world as we know it doesn't exist, electricity flows without resistance, fluids defy gravity and the speed of light can be reduced to 38 miles per hour. Absolute zero became the Holy Grail of temperature physicists and is considered the gateway to many new technologies, such as nano-construction, neurological networks and quantum computing. The possibilities, it seems, are limitless. The first episode Chronicles the major discoveries leading towards the mastery of cold, beginning with King James I's court magician, Cornelius Drebbel, who managed to air condition the largest interior space in the British Isles in 1620. Other stories will include the first "natural philosopher," Robert Boyle, a founder of the Royal Society in Great Britain; the Grand Duke Ferdinand II de Medici's involvement in the creation of the first thermometer; the establishment of the laws of thermodynamics by three young scientists, Sadi Carnot, James Joule and William Thomson; and Michael Faraday's critical achievement in liquefying several other gases which set the stage for the commercial application of cold to refrigeration and air conditioning.

Ancient Aliens Debunked: Nazca Lines

       History
The Nazca Lines of Peru have been an important part of the Ancient Astronaut theory since its beginning. Originally Von Daniken claimed that the lines were kind of a UFO runway, or a type of alien airport, where the alien craft landed and took off. The idea that it was an airport makes no logical sense, and the symbols and rituals which were a huge part of the Nazcan culture more than explain the so called Nazca lines.

Ancient Apocalypse

   2022    History
We offer this captivating full documentary series in a single video, inviting viewers to question everything they think they know about prehistory. Journalist Graham Hancock embarks on a global journey, exploring archaeological sites in search of clues to an advanced civilization that may have thrived thousands of years ago. Hancock presents a bold theory: during the last ice age, a sophisticated society existed but was wiped out by catastrophic meteor impacts roughly 12,000 years ago. He suggests that survivors of this lost civilization shared their knowledge with hunter-gatherers across the globe, sparking the development of early societies.
Hancock visits intriguing sites and natural formations, presenting what he claims is evidence of this forgotten culture. He also asserts that mainstream archaeology may be overlooking—or even concealing—critical findings that support his theory. The series offers a fresh perspective on ancient history, blending mystery, controversy, and the thrill of discovery for those ready to rethink humanity's distant past. All eight episodes are available in a single, continuous video exclusively on our website.
