00:00with no less than 1.4% of egg yolks.
00:03We have also miscategorized many other foods,
00:06such as raspberries,
00:08which are actually part of the family of roses,
00:10just like cherries, apricots, plums, pears, apples, peaches or apricots.
00:15Oh yes!
00:16They were placed in this category because of their flowers.
00:19They bloom in five equal petals,
00:21arranged around a central core.
00:24Bananas are considered to be berries,
00:26whereas strawberries are not,
00:28since they belong to this same family of roses.
00:30We share about 50% of our DNA with bananas,
00:34which explains why bananas and some seductive people
00:38can have so much power of attraction.
00:40Wow!
00:41Another common idea?
00:43White chocolate is not really chocolate,
00:45since it does not contain solid chocolate.
00:47It is made only from a mixture of sugar,
00:50dairy products, vanilla, lecithin and cocoa butter.
00:54It is not without reason that parents all over the world
00:56try to make their children eat broccoli.
00:59At equal calories,
01:00it turns out that broccoli contains almost as much protein as a steak.
01:04It is not certain that parents really know this,
01:06but given its low fat content,
01:08broccoli has many other health benefits.
01:12Unlike meat,
01:13it is now considered the essential companion of fries.
01:17But at a certain point,
01:18ketchup was considered to have healing properties.
01:22In the 1800s,
01:23a doctor based in Ohio
01:25indicated that tomatoes
01:27could help treat digestive problems,
01:30publishing a formula similar to ketchup,
01:32which was then adapted into pills.
01:34Do you want a pill with your fries?
01:36Speaking of fries,
01:37it turns out that this filling,
01:38one of the most popular in the world,
01:40is actually not French.
01:42Potatoes served in this way
01:44are originally from Belgium,
01:46but they are called French fries,
01:48in English because of the way they are cut,
01:51and perhaps also because the name
01:53« choux » in Brussels was already used.
01:55There is probably a pot of peanut butter
01:57somewhere in your closet,
01:59but you probably don't know
02:00how much the Americans love it.
02:02Studies have shown
02:04that Americans consume enough peanut butter
02:07to cover the soil of the Grand Canyon every year.
02:10To be a little more precise,
02:11this represents about 227 million kilos.
02:14The pink color of salmon
02:16is not always 100% natural.
02:18Wild salmon is pink
02:19due to the large amount of shrimps
02:21it consumes natively.
02:23Wild salmon, on the other hand,
02:25is generally white,
02:26and so producers have to add
02:27pigments of plant origin
02:29to obtain this light pink hue.
02:31Carrots were not originally orange either.
02:34The living hue we know today
02:36comes from a genetic mutation
02:38of the well-known vegetable
02:39that occurred at one point in the 16th century.
02:42Originally, carrots were white or purple.
02:45Just like you add ketchup next to your fries,
02:47it is very likely
02:48that you are a wasabi hazelnut
02:50with each plate of sushi.
02:52In reality,
02:53it would certainly be rice flour.
02:55The Japanese alternative to rice flour
02:57is very expensive.
02:58This is why 99% of restaurants
03:00serve ordinary rice flour.
03:02You may see them packed together
03:04in supermarkets,
03:05but red, green, and yellow peppers
03:07are actually not the same vegetable.
03:09You would need different types of seeds
03:11to be able to grow them individually,
03:13because they each belong
03:14to a type of plant.
03:16Did you know that one out of four hazelnuts
03:18ends up in a pot of Nutella?
03:20Creamy spread is so popular
03:22that scientists are looking for ways
03:24to grow hazelnuts
03:26in laboratories
03:27to counter global poverty.
03:29Of course,
03:30there is an expiration date
03:31on each bottle of water,
03:32but the water does not really expire.
03:34The mentioned date
03:35actually concerns the bottle itself,
03:37because plastic
03:38can possibly let out
03:40harmful substances in the water.
03:42Have you ever wondered
03:44why the food on airplanes
03:45sometimes tastes bland?
03:47The chef may not always be
03:49to blame.
03:50The altitude at which you fly
03:52has effects on the chemistry of your body,
03:54which makes you feel differently
03:56about the taste of food.
03:58You have already added it
03:59to a salad at least once,
04:01but you may be surprised
04:02to learn that cilantro
04:04and coriander
04:05are not the same thing.
04:06Coriander is the name given
04:08to dried seeds,
04:09while leaves and stems
04:10are called cilantro.
04:12For all fruit lovers,
04:14scientists have created
04:15a fruit salad tree.
04:16Yes,
04:17a tree that can grow
04:18different types of fruit
04:19at the same time.
04:20It was developed in Australia
04:22and can support up to
04:23six different types of fruit.
04:25There is a variation
04:26of core fruit
04:27that includes peaches,
04:28plums,
04:29nectarines,
04:30and apricots,
04:31and a variation of citrus fruits
04:32for those who prefer lemons,
04:33tangerines,
04:34oranges,
04:35or even pomegranates
04:36and grapefruits.
04:38You probably avoid it
04:39because it can give you
04:40a bad breath,
04:41but garlic
04:42is considered
04:43as one of the most
04:44nutritious foods.
04:45A single clove
04:46can contain 2%
04:47of your recommended
04:48daily intake
04:49of vitamin B6.
04:50Studies have shown
04:51that the chemical substance
04:52that gives garlic
04:53its distinctive flavor,
04:54called allicin,
04:55is good for your health.
04:56The only type of food
04:57that is never wasted
04:58when it is stored
04:59properly
05:00is honey,
05:01or at least
05:02the only one
05:03we have discovered
05:04so far.
05:05It is because it contains
05:06a large amount of sugar
05:07and has a low humidity
05:08content,
05:09an enzyme created
05:10by bees
05:11also helps this
05:12because it can
05:13suppress
05:14any bacterial growth.
05:15Of course,
05:16if you store your honey
05:17in a bad way
05:18and expose it
05:19to additional humidity,
05:20it can get damaged.
05:21But honey,
05:22which is sealed
05:23and stored properly,
05:24technically has
05:25no expiration date.
05:26If you are a beginner
05:27in the kitchen,
05:28you will be happy
05:29to know
05:30that mushrooms
05:31can't be overcooked
05:32because they contain
05:33a polymer
05:34called chitin.
05:35This product
05:36contains
05:38This chemical product
05:39allows them
05:40to stay tender
05:41even if you cook them
05:42for a few minutes
05:43to an hour.
05:44By the way,
05:45don't hesitate
05:46to add a little butter
05:47and garlic.
05:48The pocket
05:49that the marsupials
05:50have on their bellies
05:51is generally
05:52oriented upwards.
05:53This is not the case
05:54with wombats.
05:55These toothed creatures
05:56like to dig too much.
05:57This is why their pockets
05:58are oriented
05:59towards the hind legs
06:00so that they can dig
06:01without hurting their babies.
06:02By the way,
06:03all the babies
06:04of marsupials
06:05are called
06:06wombats.
06:07This includes
06:08kangaroos,
06:09koalas
06:10and, of course,
06:11wombats.
06:12Spiders
06:13have a tiny brain
06:14but their web
06:15is a powerful tool.
06:16They use it
06:17to see,
06:18hear
06:19and feel
06:20everything around them.
06:21Even more impressive,
06:22the web
06:23also serves
06:24as a memory bank.
06:25Instead of remembering
06:26where they hid
06:27their prey,
06:28spiders
06:29rely on their web
06:30for this.
06:31Dipodomys
06:32can survive
06:33for years
06:34without water.
06:35They eat
06:36and live
06:37in an arid desert
06:38without any problem.
06:40Jesus-created lizards
06:41can run on water.
06:42Their hind legs
06:43are equipped
06:44with long toes
06:45with skin stripes
06:46that extend into the water.
06:47As a result,
06:48a larger surface
06:49of the lizard's leg
06:50comes into contact
06:51with the water
06:52and the lizard
06:53can only move
06:54very quickly.
06:55When a cardinal fish
06:56consumes
06:57too much plankton water,
06:58these tiny creatures
06:59begin to shine
07:00inside the fish's body.
07:01They become
07:02more visible
07:03to predators
07:04and spit out
07:05the plankton water
07:06which gives the impression
07:07that they exhale
07:08bursts of blue-hot fire.
07:10There is a particular species
07:11of jellyfish
07:12that can live
07:13eternally.
07:14When the creature
07:15reaches the end of its life,
07:16it transforms
07:17into a polyp
07:18and begins
07:19its life cycle
07:20again and again.
07:22Tarsiers
07:23have the largest eyes
07:24compared to their body.
07:25Their eyes
07:26occupy almost
07:27the entire surface
07:28of their head.
07:29In contrast,
07:30these huge
07:31ocular globes
07:32allow the animal
07:33to see the night
07:34as clearly as the day.
07:36Tarsiers
07:37are equipped
07:38with tiny hairs
07:39on their legs.
07:40These attributes
07:41allow them to climb
07:42on any surface
07:43and run on it
07:44as if they were on the ground,
07:45even if it is a ceiling.
07:47Tarsier
07:48takes its name
07:49from its strange claw.
07:50Normally,
07:51it is open,
07:52but when it closes,
07:53it creates
07:54a projectile bubble
07:55that surrounds its prey.
07:56The detonation
07:57is so powerful
07:58that it creates
07:59a flash of light
08:00and instantly heats
08:01the water
08:02in a temperature
08:03comparable to
08:04the surface of the sun.
08:05Opossum
08:06is the natural nemesis
08:07of all snakes.
08:08These creatures
08:09are immune
08:10to their venom
08:11and like to nibble
08:12the formidable reptiles.
08:13However,
08:14you should not
08:15confuse them
08:16with opossums.
08:17When hippos
08:18are too hot,
08:19they secrete
08:20a pinkish liquid
08:21through their skin.
08:22This liquid
08:23quickly covers their body
08:24and protects them
08:25from the sun.
08:26Tarsiers,
08:27who also like
08:28the sun a lot,
08:29have black wax
08:30around their eyes
08:31to give the impression
08:32that they wear
08:33sunglasses.
08:34And that is
08:35exactly the role
08:36of these rings.
08:37The black fur
08:38blocks the light
08:39from the sun,
08:40which allows
08:41the tarsiers
08:42to look
08:43directly at the sky.
08:44Parakeets,
08:45with their ability
08:46to imitate human speech,
08:47do not compare
08:48to opossums.
08:49These imitators
08:50can learn
08:51and produce
08:52more than
08:5320 different sounds,
08:54including
08:55that of a trombone,
08:56a dog barking,
08:57a car engine
08:58and a fire alarm
08:59and, of course,
09:00this one.
09:01The Alps' bouctin
09:02is the absolute
09:03climbing champion
09:04in the animal world.
09:05Mothers and their young
09:06seem to challenge
09:07gravity by climbing
09:08vertical walls
09:09of cliffs
09:10where no other
09:11creature can walk.
09:12Males,
09:13on the other hand,
09:14prefer plates.
09:16Lizards are known
09:17to make their tails
09:18grow back
09:19and sometimes
09:20even other limbs.
09:21But the axolotls
09:22surpass them all.
09:23These strange creatures
09:24can regenerate
09:25organs as complex
09:26as their hearts
09:27or their brains.
09:28The salmon,
09:29this graceful
09:30aquatic runner,
09:31has an integrated
09:32navigation system.
09:33Its body reacts
09:34to the magnetic field
09:35of the earth
09:36and helps the fish
09:37to find its way
09:38over thousands
09:39of kilometres.
09:40When they are threatened,
09:41the bombarded
09:42coelopters
09:43open their mouths
09:44behind
09:45and spray
09:46a harmful liquid
09:47on the aggressor.
09:48The chemical reaction
09:49inside the coelopter's body
09:50makes this spray
09:51as hot
09:52as boiling water.
09:54Lizards are,
09:55of course,
09:56small,
09:57but they are
09:58the best jumpers
09:59in all of creation.
10:00If humans
10:01could jump
10:02like these tiny parasites,
10:03they could jump
10:04over the top
10:05of the Eiffel Tower.
10:07The millipedes
10:08are already quite frightening
10:09in themselves,
10:10but some of their
10:11defense mechanisms
10:12are even more
10:13impressive.
10:14For example,
10:15they can exude cyanide
10:16that burns
10:17in response
10:18to a threat.
10:19Some species
10:20can shine
10:21in the dark.
10:22Peacocks have
10:23three hearts,
10:24two of which
10:25pump blood
10:26and the third
10:27makes it circulate
10:28to the other organs.
10:29Their blood
10:30is also blue
10:31and they also have
10:32up to nine brains.
10:33One is central
10:34and the other eight
10:35control
10:36– you guessed it –
10:37their tentacles.
10:39Horses have
10:40forks in their legs.
10:41Not table forks.
10:42The sabre fork
10:43is a triangular organ
10:44that absorbs
10:45the shock of the step
10:46and helps
10:47to pump the blood
10:48of the sabres
10:49to the top of the leg.
10:50As for the feet
10:51of the horses,
10:52their sabres
10:53are made of the same
10:54material as your nails
10:55so we could say
10:56that horses gallop
10:57on their nails.
10:59The starfish
11:00has no brain,
11:01no heart
11:02or lungs.
11:03However,
11:04it has hundreds
11:05of small feet
11:06which allows it to walk
11:07and it also uses them
11:08to pump water
11:09through its body.
11:10Water acts
11:11like blood
11:12for this creature.
11:13Giraffes
11:14are the smallest
11:15sleepers in the world.
11:16They only need
11:17two hours of sleep
11:18a day.
11:19In addition,
11:20they don't do it
11:21all at once
11:22but fall asleep
11:23every five minutes.
11:24Oh,
11:25the phone is ringing.
11:26There must be
11:27something urgent
11:28at 11 p.m.
11:29Except that
11:30all the gadgets
11:31in the house
11:32are silent.
11:33Oh no,
11:34it's your ears
11:35that are ringing.
11:36You can also hear
11:37whistling,
11:38rumbling
11:39and even rustling
11:40but all this noise
11:41does not come
11:42from an external source.
11:43These are
11:44what we call
11:45phantom sounds.
11:46They can occur
11:47in one or two ears
11:48permanently
11:49or from time to time.
11:50They are generally
11:51more noticeable at night
11:52when nothing
11:53is happening.
11:54The first
11:55ear is called
11:56the acouphene.
11:57It is quite common
11:58and affects 15 to 20%
11:59of the population.
12:00Acouphenes
12:01begin in the internal ear
12:02which is shaped like a snail.
12:03This is what we call
12:04the cochlea.
12:05Your average ear
12:06captures the sound waves.
12:07They are then
12:08translated into electric impulses
12:09in the internal ear.
12:10Then,
12:11the sensory nerves
12:12transmit these impulses
12:13to your brain.
12:14If your internal ear
12:15does not work properly,
12:16your brain
12:17can misinterpret the sounds.
12:18Acouphenes
12:19occur when
12:20the cochlear nerve
12:21undergoes certain modifications.
12:22They can be caused
12:23by a loud noise
12:24such as chain saws,
12:25hammer picks,
12:26loud music
12:27or screams.
12:28Acouphenes
12:29can occur
12:30after a cranial trauma,
12:31a neck injury
12:32or an ear injury
12:33or after starting
12:34to take certain medications.
12:36You can also hear
12:37ear ringing
12:38if you have
12:39arterial tension problems.
12:40Now,
12:41let's go elsewhere
12:42in the incredible human body.
12:43Some of the bacteria
12:44that live in your intestines
12:45can produce electricity.
12:47It's crazy, isn't it?
12:48They emit electrons
12:49and this generates
12:50tiny electrical currents
12:51in your intestines.
12:52It's probably
12:53the bacteria's
12:54emergency system.
12:55It's a way
12:56to generate energy.
12:57Humans are the only animals
12:58with a chin.
12:59Even our closest
13:00genetic parents,
13:01gorillas and chimpanzees,
13:02are deprived of
13:03this little bone
13:04that protrudes
13:05from the jaw.
13:06Their lower jaws
13:07are tilted down
13:08and backward
13:09compared to
13:10their front teeth.
13:11Scientists still
13:12do not understand
13:13this mystery.
13:14Their opinions
13:15differ as to
13:16why people
13:17are made this way.
13:18Some researchers
13:19think that the chin
13:20allows us to chew
13:21our food.
13:22Others think
13:23that it's probably
13:24related to speech.
13:25Some of us
13:26think that it's
13:27simply a special place
13:28to grow a beard.
13:29Hmm.
13:30Closing your eyes
13:31keeps you clean
13:32and moist.
13:33But that's not all.
13:34Every time
13:35you close your eyes,
13:36you actually
13:37take a short nap.
13:38Researchers
13:39at the University of Washington
13:40found that
13:41closing your eyes
13:42increased your vigilance
13:43and allowed you
13:44to recharge your batteries.
13:45Have you ever seen
13:46tiny dots
13:47moving in a sine wave?
13:48Especially when
13:49you look at
13:50a bright blue sky?
13:51These dots
13:52are only visible
13:53for about a second
13:54and they can look
13:55like tiny green dots.
13:56These dots
13:57are actually
13:58white blood cells
13:59that move
14:00in the capillaries
14:01in front of the retina.
14:02It's the photosensitive
14:03tissue
14:04located at the back
14:05of your eyes.
14:06Curiously,
14:07most people
14:08don't even pay attention
14:09to these dots.
14:10Unless
14:11they're asked to.
14:12The pineal gland
14:13of the brain
14:14ensures the production
14:15of melatonin.
14:16It's this same hormone
14:17that regulates sleep.
14:18The gland
14:19looks like a pine cone
14:20and that's how
14:21it got its name.
14:22The human brain
14:23is composed of 73% water
14:24and it's the same
14:25for the heart.
14:26Therefore,
14:27if your brain
14:28loses only 2% liquid,
14:29you start
14:30to feel tired.
14:31This also
14:32deteriorates your memory,
14:33reduces your attention
14:34capacity
14:35and ruins your mood.
14:36By the way,
14:37your brain
14:38makes sure
14:39you don't drink
14:40too much
14:41or too little water.
14:42After swallowing
14:43a liquid,
14:44your mouth and throat
14:45start sending signals
14:46to your brain
14:47to tell it
14:48to stop drinking.
14:49Otherwise,
14:50you would keep
14:51swallowing water
14:52for 10 to 60 minutes
14:53you need
14:54to reach
14:55your cells.
14:56It's enough
14:57for your eyes
14:58to see something
14:59for only 13 milliseconds
15:00for your brain
15:01to process this image.
15:02For comparison,
15:03the average clinging
15:04lasts from 100
15:05to 400 milliseconds.
15:06Even if
15:07your tongue
15:08isn't the strongest muscle
15:09in your body,
15:10it never gets tired.
15:11It's linked
15:12to the way
15:13it's made up.
15:14It's made up
15:15of 8 interlaced muscles.
15:16But unlike
15:17the other muscles
15:18in your body,
15:19these aren't
15:20distributed around
15:21a support bone.
15:22The structure
15:23of the tongue
15:24is similar to
15:25the trunk
15:26of an elephant
15:27or the tentacles
15:28of a peacock.
15:29Your body
15:30emits a visible light.
15:31That's why
15:32people call me Sunny.
15:33Ha!
15:34You shine the most
15:35at 4 p.m.
15:36and the least
15:37at 10 p.m.
15:38Unfortunately,
15:39this light
15:40is a thousand times
15:41less intense
15:42than what
15:43your eyes
15:44can perceive.
15:46It even contains
15:47tiny traces of metals
15:48like copper, zinc, nickel,
15:50iron, etc.
15:51This gives the sweat
15:52a salty taste.
15:53It's the sodium
15:54it contains.
15:55By the way,
15:56the more salt you eat,
15:57the saltier the sweat.
15:58Your body
15:59tries to get rid
16:00of the excess
16:01and the fastest way
16:02is to sweat.
16:03The blood
16:04of an adult
16:05represents 7 to 8%
16:06of the total weight
16:07of your body.
16:08About 55%
16:09of our blood
16:10is made up
16:11of liquid plasma.
16:12The rest
16:13is made up
16:14of liquid air.
16:15It creates pebbles
16:16and prevents bleeding.
16:17You can't swallow
16:18and breathe at the same time.
16:19The food you eat
16:20and the air you breathe
16:21first go down
16:22in the same part
16:23of your throat.
16:24A little deeper only,
16:25the passage is divided
16:26into the esophage
16:27for food and liquid
16:28and the trachea
16:29for air.
16:30By swallowing,
16:31your respiratory
16:32channels automatically
16:33close.
16:34This prevents you
16:35from inhaling
16:36food accidentally.
16:37But sometimes
16:38it happens anyway.
16:39Your brain
16:40sometimes generates
16:41more than 48 thoughts
16:42in a single minute.
16:43It's almost
16:443,000 thoughts per hour
16:45and 69,000
16:46per day.
16:47Nails grow faster
16:48on the dominant hand.
16:49If you often use
16:50your right hand,
16:51you will have to cut
16:52your nails more often.
16:53Nails also grow
16:54faster in summer
16:55and during the day.
16:56You can memorize
16:57up to 10,000
16:58different faces.
16:59Of course,
17:00this varies
17:01from person to person
17:02and the average number
17:03is 5,000.
17:04This does not mean
17:05that you can identify
17:06each of these faces.
17:07It's just about
17:08recognizing the features.
17:09If you ever
17:10want to lie,
17:11know that your nose
17:12will always betray you.
17:13Here are some facts
17:14that you may find
17:15difficult to digest.
17:16Your stomach
17:17has an incredible
17:18capacity,
17:19which can contain
17:20up to 2 liters of liquid.
17:21It's the equivalent
17:22of a large
17:23bottle of Coca-Cola.
17:24It is quite difficult
17:25to estimate
17:26the amount
17:27of solid food
17:28you can ingest
17:29because it is
17:30crushed by your teeth
17:31before reaching
17:32your stomach.
17:33There is certainly
17:34not enough room
17:35for a turkey,
17:36but a good-sized
17:37chicken could
17:38probably hold it.
17:39If you are asked
17:40how much
17:41your stomach
17:42weighs,
17:43you will probably
17:44show your belly.
17:45Sorry,
17:46but that's not the case.
17:47It is actually
17:48hidden here
17:49between your ribs.
17:50Scientists
17:51think that
17:52the appendix
17:53will eventually
17:54disappear.
17:55Nobody really knows
17:56why we need it,
17:57but some researchers
17:58claim that it
17:59could exist
18:00to help our ancestors
18:01digest the bark
18:02of trees.
18:03As it is no longer
18:04part of our
18:05daily diet,
18:06the appendix
18:07is no longer
18:08necessary
18:09and can disappear
18:11The appendix
18:12is not the only
18:13obsolete part
18:14of our body.
18:15Wisdom teeth
18:16are not that useful either.
18:17Of course,
18:18they were when
18:19our ancestors
18:20lost some of their teeth,
18:21but the only thing
18:22they help us
18:23lose now
18:24is the money
18:25we spend
18:26to extract them.
18:27Almost all
18:28of our body
18:29is covered in hair,
18:30even if we
18:31don't notice them.
18:32They even grow
18:33in the navel.
18:34Their function
18:35seems to be to trap
18:36the plushies
18:37in their clothes.
18:38Look closely.
18:39Your liver
18:40acts as your
18:41personal body guard,
18:42protecting you
18:43from toxins
18:44and many other things
18:45you wouldn't want
18:46to have in your body.
18:47It is almost
18:48indestructible
18:49and can regenerate
18:50at any time.
18:52Only 43%
18:53of your body
18:54really belongs to you.
18:55More than 50%
18:56of the cells in your body
18:57belong to
18:58tiny creatures
18:59that live
19:00mainly
19:01in your intestine.
19:02However,
19:03even if your own
19:04cells are less
19:05numerous than
19:06these microbial cells,
19:07you have on average
19:08a population
19:09of 100,000 billion.
19:10You see,
19:11you are not so alone
19:12after all.
19:13Keeping this in mind,
19:14your own genes
19:15represent less than
19:16half of what
19:17you really are.
19:18If you take
19:19all the microbes
19:20that live in your body
19:21and count their genes,
19:22you will find
19:23between
19:242
19:25and 20 million.
19:26If you sleep,
19:27that doesn't mean
19:28that your whole body
19:29sleeps.
19:30In reality,
19:31your brain
19:32sometimes has to work
19:33even harder
19:34when you sleep.
19:35It needs to process
19:36tons of information
19:37and the reports
19:38generally take
19:39a lot of time.
19:40Your nose
19:41does rest
19:42while you sleep.
19:43Surprisingly,
19:44your odour
19:45deactivates
19:46practically at night.
19:47You wouldn't even be embarrassed
19:48if there was
19:49a really bad odour
19:50in your room.
19:51The odour
19:52is one of the most
19:53underestimated senses.
19:54You wouldn't even be able
19:55to enjoy
19:56eating without it.
19:57About 80%
19:58of the taste
19:59of any food
20:00is felt
20:01thanks to your nose
20:02and its ability
20:03to recognize odours.
20:04If you pinch your nose
20:05while you eat,
20:06you will feel
20:07almost no taste.
20:08If you don't have
20:09an odour,
20:10you will recognize
20:11most of the food
20:12by their texture.
20:13So an onion
20:14could seem to have
20:15the same taste
20:16as an apple.
20:17Try it
20:18and leave us
20:19a comment
20:20with your impressions.
20:21Scientists
20:22thought
20:23that we could
20:24distinguish
20:25about 10,000 odours,
20:26but they were wrong.
20:27Recent research
20:28has shown
20:29that humans
20:30are actually
20:31capable of
20:32distinguishing
20:33more than
20:341 billion odours.
20:35And odours
20:36can even evoke
20:37distant memories.
20:38Your nose
20:39doesn't just help you
20:40breathe
20:41and sense odours.
20:42It filters air
20:43for the throat
20:44and sensitive lungs.
20:45If we inhale
20:46dry air,
20:47the nose
20:48humidifies it
20:49and cools it
20:50or warms it
20:51if necessary.
20:52In addition,
20:53the nose
20:54cleanses the air
20:55of all impurities.
20:56When you get older,
20:57your brain
20:58shrinks little by little.
20:59At 75 years old,
21:00it is much smaller
21:01than at 30 years old
21:02and starts shrinking
21:03at 40 years old.
21:04Your brain
21:05doesn't affect
21:06everyone
21:07and doesn't affect
21:08your mental abilities.
21:09Our brain
21:10can only store
21:117 octaves
21:12in its short-term memory.
21:13Don't even try
21:14to compare your brain
21:15to the capacity
21:16of a cell phone
21:17or even the one
21:18you had in 2005.
21:19That's why
21:20you have such a hard time
21:21learning
21:22a phone number
21:23by heart.
21:24Our short-term memory
21:25works like
21:26a blackboard.
21:27You can get
21:28information,
21:29but sooner or later
21:30you will miss the space.
21:31To know
21:32the capacity
21:33of your short-term memory,
21:34do this test.
21:35Ask a friend
21:36to write a list
21:37of 10 words
21:38and read it to you.
21:39Most people
21:40remember 7 words
21:41or less
21:42in the list.
21:43RAM,
21:44or short-term memory,
21:45is an essential thing
21:46that we need
21:47to do
21:48almost
21:49every daily activity,
21:50including
21:51basic conversations,
21:52browsing the Internet
21:53and even
21:54petting your dog.
21:55Our strongest
21:56and most emotional
21:57memories
21:58are often wrong.
21:59Our central memory
22:00gives us
22:01the confidence
22:02we need
22:03to believe
22:04we remember everything,
22:05even if
22:06most details
22:07are made up
22:08in our head.
22:09Not only
22:10does your brain
22:11age,
22:12but you also
22:13age spectacularly.
22:14Your bones
22:15become more fragile
22:16and your spine
22:17is compressed.
22:18The opposite
22:19happens when
22:20you rest at night
22:21because your bones
22:22relax.
22:23As a result,
22:24you wake up
22:25a bit bigger
22:26in the morning
22:27than in the evening.
22:28In mammals,
22:29only humans
22:30can walk
22:31like this.
22:32We could think
22:33kangaroos
22:34or gorillas
22:35walk the same way,
22:36but kangaroos
22:37use their tails
22:38as third legs
22:39and gorillas
22:40use their long arms
22:41to keep their balance.
22:42Bones
22:43also contribute
22:44to metabolism.
22:45As they are mainly
22:46made up of calcium,
22:47when there is not enough
22:48of this element
22:49in the blood,
22:50the bones
22:51start to reject it
22:52in the blood,
22:53which balances
22:54the body.
22:55The same reaction
22:56also works
22:57in the opposite direction.
22:58When there is
22:59too much calcium
23:00in the blood,
23:01the bones
23:02react
23:03to the calcium
23:04in the blood
23:05and react
23:06to the bones
23:07to be stored
23:08later.
23:09The only bone
23:10in your body
23:11that has the blood
23:12of humor
23:13is inside
23:14your arm.
23:15This is why
23:16the bone
23:17that is there
23:18is called
23:19lumerus.
23:20No,
23:21that's totally wrong.
23:22Let's move
23:23on to the next fact.
23:24The only bones
23:25that never grow
23:26are in our ears.
23:27We can hear
23:28thanks to
23:29the fact that
23:30the ear
23:31is the smallest bone
23:32in your body.
23:33It is not bigger
23:34than a grain of rice.
23:35Our size,
23:36the shape of our body
23:37and the color of our skin
23:38depend a lot
23:39on the place
23:40where our ancestors lived,
23:41but we can adapt
23:42to new conditions
23:43even during
23:44our own life.
23:45For example,
23:46if you move
23:47from the plain
23:48to the mountains,
23:49you will end up
23:50developing more red blood cells
23:51to compensate
23:52for the lack of oxygen.
23:53And naturally,
23:54if you go from
23:55a colder climate
23:56to a warmer
23:57and more sunny climate,
23:58your skin
23:59will become darker
24:00to adapt.
24:01Our lifespan
24:02is programmed
24:03in our cells.
24:04They renew
24:05and divide constantly,
24:06but they are
24:07a kind of internal
24:08miniaturization
24:09that stops
24:10at some point.
24:11Some cells
24:12also stop reproducing
24:13earlier than others.
24:14On average,
24:15cells stop dividing
24:16when we reach
24:17the age of 100 years.
24:18This means
24:19that if we
24:20found a way
24:21to deceive our cells
24:22to stop the mutiny,
24:23we could
24:24potentially
24:25live forever.
24:26Body fat
24:27is not only
24:28an aesthetic nuisance,
24:29it acts as
24:30insulation material,
24:31energy reserve
24:32and shock absorber.
24:33It is your body
24:34that sends
24:35the most fat
24:36into the region
24:37of your waist,
24:38because it is
24:39where your internal organs
24:40are located.
24:41If something happens to you,
24:42this layer of fat
24:43could protect
24:44your vital organs
24:45from irreparable damage.
24:46Oceans cover
24:47more than
24:4870%
24:49of the Earth's surface.
24:50On average,
24:51the ocean
24:52has a depth
24:53of 8 Empire State Buildings
24:54and less than
24:555%
24:56of these mysterious
24:57depths
24:58have been explored.
24:59It is even possible
25:00to find lakes
25:01and rivers
25:02under the ocean.
25:03They are denser
25:04than the rest
25:05of the surrounding water
25:06and we can clearly
25:07see the difference.
25:08When coral
25:09is in shallow
25:10waters,
25:11the intense
25:12sunlight
25:13can damage
25:14the algae
25:15living inside.
25:16To protect the algae,
25:17coral produces
25:18certain proteins
25:19that act
25:20as a kind
25:21of solar screen.
25:22Most of the ocean
25:23may not have been
25:24explored,
25:25but millions
25:26of tons of gold
25:27are scattered
25:28in these dark waters.
25:29It is spread
25:30in very small quantities
25:31which is why
25:32it is not profitable
25:33to exploit it.
25:34If we could extract it,
25:35each person
25:36on the planet
25:37would receive
25:384 kilos of gold.
25:39When sharks
25:40need their morning coffee,
25:41they also go
25:42to Starbucks.
25:43In 2002,
25:44researchers discovered
25:45an area
25:46in the Pacific Ocean
25:47called
25:48the White Shark Café
25:49where the great
25:50white sharks
25:51come during the winter.
25:52They meet,
25:53tell jokes
25:54and then return
25:55to the coast
25:56to scare us again
25:57when the weather warms up.
25:58Have you ever
25:59tasted a
26:00great white coffee?
26:01The widest point
26:02in the Pacific Ocean
26:03is from Indonesia
26:04to Colombia
26:05and at this place
26:06it is 20,000 km wide
26:07which is more than
26:085 times
26:09the diameter
26:10of the Moon.
26:11We could imagine
26:12that the oceans
26:13are cold,
26:14especially in the depths
26:15where the temperature
26:16is only 4.4 degrees.
26:17But there is an exception.
26:18The water
26:19coming out
26:20of the hydrothermal vents
26:21at the bottom of the sea
26:22has a temperature
26:23that can reach
26:24400 degrees.
26:25Humans are
26:26the only animals
26:27whose brains
26:28shrink with age.
26:29They can even do it
26:30because of isolation
26:31and loneliness.
26:32Other animals,
26:33even some of our
26:34distant cousins
26:35from another branch
26:36of the genealogical tree
26:37like monkeys
26:38and chimpanzees
26:39don't have this problem.
26:40Would television
26:41be responsible?
26:42Our gums
26:43have nothing to do
26:44with the meaning
26:45of sight
26:46but they still move
26:47when we move
26:48our eyes.
26:49During a lifetime,
26:50our heart beats
26:51on average
26:525 billion times.
26:53Some have counted.
26:54Our nose
26:55can detect
26:56more than
26:571,000 billion smells
26:58and our lips
26:59are hundreds of times
27:00more sensitive
27:01than the tip of our fingers.
27:02Two parts of the body
27:03never stop growing,
27:04the nose
27:05and the ears.
27:06cockroaches are resistant.
27:07They can survive
27:08in extreme conditions
27:09and have been there
27:10since the dinosaurs
27:11ruled our planet.
27:12But the queen of termites
27:13is the great champion
27:14with a lifespan
27:15of 50 years.
27:16It is the longest
27:17that an insect
27:18can live.
27:19Ordinary termites
27:20only live
27:211 to 2 years.
27:22It is not water
27:23that termites
27:24store in their bones
27:25but fat.
27:26They store water
27:27in their blood.
27:28Bees can fly very high,
27:29at more than
27:309,000 meters
27:31in altitude,
27:32which is higher
27:33than the Everest,
27:34the highest peak
27:35on our planet.
27:36Lazy people
27:37can hold their breath
27:38longer than dolphins.
27:39Yes,
27:40they slow down
27:41their heart rate
27:42and can stay like this
27:43for nearly 40 minutes.
27:44Dolphins have to
27:45go back to the surface
27:46to breathe
27:47every 10 minutes.
27:48The moon
27:49has volcanoes
27:50and scientists
27:51think they could have
27:52been active
27:53about 100 million years ago
27:54when dinosaurs
27:55still ruled
27:56our planet.
27:57Wow,
27:58the show
27:59must have been
28:00magnificent!
28:01There are
28:02watermelons
28:03the size of a
28:04grapefruit.
28:05Watermelons
28:06look like
28:07very small watermelons
28:08but taste like citrus.
28:09The kangaroo
28:10does not feel
28:11the need
28:12to drink water.
28:13It lives in
28:14the Nevada desert
28:15and as its habitat
28:16is very dry,
28:17it simply learned
28:18to quench its thirst
28:19thanks to the seeds
28:20it eats.
28:21You may think
28:22parking is expensive
28:23in the neighborhood
28:24you live in
28:25but it is probably
28:26less expensive
28:27than a parking spot
28:28in Hong Kong.
28:29A simple spot
28:3013 square meters
28:31in front of The Center,
28:32which is the 5th
28:33tallest building
28:34in the city,
28:35was bought
28:36for nearly
28:371 million dollars.
28:38That's a lot
28:39of bus tickets.
28:40Speaking of expensive things,
28:41the most expensive
28:42hot dog in the world
28:43costs 169 dollars
28:44and you can
28:45try it in Seattle.
28:46An Australian barista
28:47set a world record
28:48for the largest
28:49number of cappuccinos
28:50made in one hour.
28:51420!
28:52You can taste
28:53the garlic with your feet,
28:54rub a clove
28:55directly on your feet,
28:56don't forget
28:57to take off
28:58your front socks
28:59and wait.
29:00The chemical compound
29:01responsible for
29:02its unique smell
29:03can be absorbed
29:04by the skin
29:05even if the clove
29:06is not in your mouth.
29:07In fact,
29:08lobsters can
29:09do the same experiment.
29:10Besides,
29:11they taste
29:12any food
29:13with their paws.
29:14Researchers
29:15found a lot
29:16of prehistoric
29:17human beings
29:18that lived
29:19thousands of years ago.
29:20Bones, teeth,
29:21stone tools
29:22and a piece of
29:23chewing gum
29:24dating back
29:25almost 10,000 years.
29:26In Tibet,
29:27there are black diamond apples
29:28that are neither green
29:29nor red
29:30but a dark purple.
29:31The place where they grow
29:32receives a lot
29:33of ultraviolet light
29:34during the day
29:35while the temperatures
29:36drop drastically
29:37during the night
29:38which makes the skin
29:39of the apple
29:40a darker color.
29:41Australia
29:42has a lake
29:43with a naturally
29:44pinkish color.
29:45This unusual color
29:46is due to the pigment
29:47of a certain type
29:48of algae that lives there.
29:49Clouds sometimes
29:50look so soft
29:51that they look like
29:52giant cotton balls
29:53but you have to know
29:54that a cloud
29:55weighs on average
29:56500,000 kilos.
29:57So please
29:58leave it alone up there.
29:59A farmer from Iowa
30:00had a hockey
30:01that lasted
30:0268 years.
30:03At first,
30:04he hocked
30:05about 40 times per minute
30:06then after a while
30:07only 20 times.
30:08This means
30:09he spent
30:1070% of his life
30:11hocking.
30:12A million seconds
30:13represents
30:14about 12 days
30:15and a billion seconds
30:16represents
30:17almost 32 years.
30:18Nothing special here
30:19just a bit of math
30:20that reminds us
30:21how elastic
30:22time is.
30:23Sharks
30:24are maybe
30:25more frightening
30:26than humans
30:27but our teeth
30:28are just as strong
30:29as theirs
30:30just a bit smaller.
30:31Until the beginning
30:32of the 19th century
30:33Americans thought
30:34that tomatoes
30:35were toxic.
30:36They missed
30:37so many delicious meals
30:38believing that.
30:39The Mozilla Firefox
30:40logo
30:41is a fox
30:42that kisses the planet.
30:43The original logo
30:44of the browser
30:45was a phoenix
30:46bird
30:47born from its flames
30:48and it was designed
30:49in 2002.
30:50At the time
30:51the browser
30:52was called
30:53Mozilla Firebird.
30:54Two years later
30:55it changed its name
30:56to become Firefox.
30:57It is the English nickname
30:58of the panda bear.
30:59It is a rare animal
31:00and protected from Asia.
31:01A bear
31:02standing on
31:03its hind legs
31:04is hidden
31:05in the famous
31:06Toblerone logo.
31:07The chocolate bar
31:08in the shape of a mountain
31:09was created in Bern
31:10the Swiss capital
31:11of Paris
31:12in the 19th century.
31:13It was named
31:14the Swiss capital
31:15by Émile Beaumane
31:16and Theodore Tobler.
31:17The city
31:18is nicknamed
31:19the city of bears
31:20and a bear
31:21appears on its grey cupboards.
31:22This is why
31:23this image
31:24appears on the image
31:25of the mountain
31:26Matterhorn
31:27which inspired
31:28the logo.
31:29The image
31:30of a happy girl
31:31in the logo
31:32of Wendy's
31:33was inspired
31:34by the daughter
31:35of the creator
31:36of the fast-food chain
31:37Dave Thomas.
31:38Wendy is her nickname.
31:39If you look
31:40closer
31:41you will see
31:42that the name
31:43has become
31:44a symbol
31:45of the family atmosphere
31:46that the restaurant
31:47gives to its customers.
31:489h41,
31:49the time indicated
31:50in the iPhone ads
31:51is not
31:52a random choice
31:53of numbers.
31:54In 2007
31:55Steve Jobs
31:56presented
31:57the iPhone
31:58to the public
31:59for the first time
32:00after a presentation
32:01of 41 minutes
32:02at 9h41 exactly.
32:03The first Apple logo
32:04was built
32:05in 1976
32:06and represented
32:07Sister Isaac Newton
32:08sitting under a tree
32:09with an apple
32:10on the tip
32:11of his head.
32:12But it seemed
32:13too complex
32:14and unclear
32:15for many
32:16so Steve Jobs
32:17wanted to replace it.
32:18The designer
32:19of the new logo
32:20Rob Yanoff
32:21therefore imagined
32:22the apple
32:23we all know today.
32:24He probably
32:25took inspiration
32:26from the original logo
32:27but wanted to make it
32:28simpler.
32:29He added the bite
32:30so that no one
32:31would confuse it
32:32with a cherry,
32:33a peach
32:34or any other round fruit
32:35with a stem.
32:36Without realizing it
32:37he added
32:38a funny pun
32:39to the logo.
32:40The Apple logo
32:41looks a lot
32:42like the computer term.
32:43The Toyota logo
32:44symbolizes
32:45the meeting
32:46of the heart
32:47of the customers
32:48and the company.
32:49Two superimposed ovals
32:50represent the tea
32:51and the other
32:52the steering wheel.
32:53The outer oval
32:54represents the world
32:55that embraces Toyota.
32:56The background
32:57represents the values
32:58of the company
32:59a great quality
33:00a quality
33:01beyond expectations
33:02the pleasure
33:03of driving
33:04innovation
33:05and integrity
33:06in terms of security
33:07the environment
33:08and social responsibility.
33:10The life insurance
33:11of Apollo 11 astronauts
33:12cost a fortune
33:13because the mission
33:14was so risky
33:15and unpredictable.
33:17The astronauts
33:18couldn't afford it
33:19so they signed
33:20hundreds of contracts
33:21that their families
33:22could sell
33:23to finance large expenses
33:24in case something
33:25went wrong.
33:26The Snickers chocolate bar
33:27was created by
33:28Frank Mars
33:29founder of Mars Inc.
33:31It was inspired
33:32by a confectionery
33:33that already existed
33:34with nougat
33:35peanuts
33:36and caramel
33:37and was named
33:38after the horse
33:39of the Mars family.
33:40Until 1990
33:41it was known
33:42in the United Kingdom
33:43under the name
33:44of Marathon chocolate bar.
33:45As soon as they
33:46changed the name
33:47to Snickers
33:48it went from
33:49the first
33:50to the third
33:51place
33:52of the best-selling
33:53chocolate bars
33:54in Great Britain.
33:55When the NBC
33:56logo was designed
33:57the colored TVs
33:58were still
33:59revolutionary devices.
34:00The logo
34:01with a rainbow
34:02of colors
34:03highlighted it.
34:04The pan
34:05echoes the phrase
34:06as proud as a pan.
34:07It was about
34:08showing that they
34:09were proud of
34:10their new
34:11color system.
34:13The six different
34:14colors of the feathers
34:15represent the six
34:16different divisions
34:17of NBC.
34:18The yellow arrow
34:19of the Amazon logo
34:20that starts with A
34:21and ends with Z
34:22shows that you
34:23can buy everything
34:24from A to Z.
34:25It also looks like
34:26a smile
34:27that symbolizes
34:28the happiness
34:29of the customers.
34:30The original name
34:31of the company
34:32was not Amazon
34:33but Cadabra Inc.
34:34Jeff Bezos
34:35also experimented
34:36with the name
34:37for his website
34:38and one of them
34:39Relentless.com
34:40still refers
34:41to Amazon.
34:42The CEO
34:43of Papa John's Pizza
34:44John Schnatter
34:45created his company
34:46in the closet
34:47of a bar
34:48that he ran
34:49with his father
34:50in Indiana
34:51in 1984.
34:53Over the years
34:54it became
34:55the third
34:56largest pizza chain
34:57in the world
34:58with 5,500 restaurants
34:59in 49 countries.
35:03Baskin-Robbins
35:04has 31 different flavors
35:06and the letters
35:07B and R
35:08of the logo
35:09hide this number.
35:10The B curve
35:11means 3
35:12and the R bar
35:13means 1.
35:16Today you can still
35:17visit the first
35:18website ever created
35:19called
35:20The World Wide Web Project.
35:22It was put online
35:23in 1991
35:24and now serves
35:25as a historical archive
35:26on the World Wide Web.
35:28There is not
35:29a single image
35:30only text.
35:31The web itself
35:32was invented
35:33by Tim Berners-Lee
35:34a British scientist
35:35who worked
35:36at CERN
35:37the European Organization
35:38for Nuclear Research
35:39in 1989.
35:42The first product
35:43scanned in a supermarket
35:44was a packet
35:45of Dishwing Gum
35:46Ringley Juicy Fruit
35:47in 1974
35:48in Troy
35:49in Ohio.
35:51The bar code
35:52was invented
35:53and patented
35:54in 1952
35:55but the idea
35:56only took off
35:57when its inventor
35:58started working
35:59for IBM.
36:00Until then
36:01supermarket employees
36:02had to put
36:03labels on their products
36:04and cashiers
36:05had to read the labels
36:06and type the price
36:07by hand.
36:08The Quicksilver logo
36:09is a personalized version
36:10of the Great Wave
36:11in Kanagawa
36:12a famous Japanese artist
36:13Okusai's
36:14wood engraving.
36:16When Quicksilver
36:17expanded its activities
36:18and launched
36:19a female brand
36:20Roxy
36:21she reversed
36:22her logo
36:23to make it look
36:24like a heart.
36:25Until 2010
36:26the high speed
36:27rural internet
36:28was slower
36:29than the traveling pigeons.
36:30No, this is not a joke.
36:32During a speed test
36:33they let
36:34USB keyed pigeons
36:35fly away
36:36from a farm
36:37in Yorkshire
36:38to cover
36:39a distance
36:40of 80 km.
36:41They finished
36:42the race
36:43an hour and a half later.
36:44At that time
36:45only 24%
36:46of a 300 MB file
36:47had been downloaded.
36:50Picasa allows you
36:51to organize
36:52and visualize
36:53your online images
36:54and its logo
36:55is more than
36:56a simple multi-color
36:57camera shutter.
36:58The white space
36:59in the middle
37:00is your home
37:01which means
37:02it will be a safe home
37:03for your photos.
37:04Its name
37:05also contains
37:06the word
37:07house
37:08or casa
37:09and pi
37:10means pixel.
37:11The letters
37:12L and G
37:13of the LG logo
37:14make up
37:15a human face.
37:16L is the nose
37:17and G represents
