00:00:00You can't help but see funny panda pictures on your test sheet.

00:00:05All these YouTube videos at the end of the evening hurt you, don't they?

00:00:09You grumble a few words hoping that something makes sense.

00:00:13You look at your watch and realize that you only have 10 minutes left to finish.

00:00:18Panic mode is officially activated.

00:00:20But no one knows that your watch contains a pinch of magic.

00:00:24You press the stop button on your watch and relax.

00:00:27Don't worry, no one will turn into dust and half of the universe will not suddenly disappear.

00:00:33You simply set the time for everything and everyone, except yourself.

00:00:37You can stop the time for one minute a day.

00:00:40After stopping the time, you approach one of your classmates,

00:00:44you take a picture of his homework and you go back to your seat.

00:00:47You freeze the time and write the correct answer.

00:00:50Phew! At least you will have the minimum score to validate your year.

00:00:54Be careful, you must know that Simpa does not tolerate cheating in an exam.

00:00:58Ok, let's continue.

00:01:00You leave the classroom with a big smile on your face.

00:01:03You check your watch and it indicates that you have spent 10 seconds freezing the time.

00:01:08You have 50 seconds left for today.

00:01:11After the exam, you go to get something to eat.

00:01:13You find yourself at the pedestrian crossing, waiting to cross the street.

00:01:17A girl speaks on the phone and a car arrives at full speed towards her.

00:01:21Everyone sees it but no one can do anything.

00:01:23And the car is only a few meters from her.

00:01:26You press the stop button and everything freezes again.

00:01:29You run towards the girl and move her as fast as possible.

00:01:33Then you run to the place where you were and press the button again to freeze the time.

00:01:39Everyone is confused but at least the girl is safe.

00:01:42This little rescue mission took you 10 seconds more.

00:01:4640 seconds left.

00:01:48You enter a cafe to eat a piece.

00:01:50As soon as you pick up your coffee, you turn around and lose your balance.

00:01:54The cup escapes from your hands and is about to fall over.

00:01:57You instinctively press the button and the cup is literally suspended in the air.

00:02:02You pick up all the drops, put them back in the cup and press the button again.

00:02:07You just saved yourself 4 euros and a trip to the dyer.

00:02:11You realize that you have spent 15 seconds saving your drink.

00:02:15You have 25 seconds left for today.

00:02:17While you are heading to the bin to throw the cup, someone bumps into you.

00:02:21The buckle comes off and the watch crashes on the floor.

00:02:25You pick it up and you see a scratch on the dial as well as pieces that have come off.

00:02:30You collect the pieces to try to fix it.

00:02:32While you are doing this, you see a fly next to you and you make a gesture to move it away.

00:02:37Strangely, it doesn't even blink.

00:02:39You look around you and you see everyone frozen in time.

00:02:43The person who hit you is stopped in full motion.

00:02:46The pigeons that eat bread crumbs are frozen as well.

00:02:49Just like cars and people.

00:02:51As the watch has been damaged, its power has been reversed.

00:02:55Everything is in pause and you only have 25 seconds of normal time left.

00:02:59Once you have used them, the time will be frozen around you forever.

00:03:03At first, you do your best to fix it but you don't know how to do it.

00:03:07You take out your phone to consult a tutorial on how to fix a watch.

00:03:12But no page loads.

00:03:14You refresh but nothing happens.

00:03:16Internet can only work in real time.

00:03:19And 25 seconds are not enough for anything.

00:03:22There is only one place where you can learn how to fix watches in this situation.

00:03:27A library.

00:03:29You will have to document yourself on the subject and learn everything from scratch.

00:03:33You rush to the nearest library on campus.

00:03:37It turns out that there are only a few books on how to fix watches.

00:03:41And they don't contain any of the information you need.

00:03:44You find a bike and you pedal to the municipal library.

00:03:48It took you 4 hours to get there.

00:03:51Once there, you find yourself in front of a multitude of shelves.

00:03:54You could easily go back in real time and ask the librarian where to find what you need.

00:03:59But that could take more time than you have left.

00:04:03There are many more books than you thought.

00:04:06You pedal to your home and take a few things to sleep and eat.

00:04:10The day will be long.

00:04:12As soon as you are back, you grab a few big books that seem to contain what you are looking for.

00:04:17No social network can distract you since the Internet does not work.

00:04:21Time goes by and you have finally finished two large volumes of mechanics.

00:04:25But there is a problem.

00:04:27You can't find Volume 3.

00:04:29Your only option is to relaunch the time to do a quick search on the Internet and find out where it is.

00:04:35You can't download an e-book because it would take a lot of time and it is impossible to print in frozen time.

00:04:41You press the button and time goes back to normal.

00:04:44Everyone looks confused seeing a mattress and leftovers of food all over the floor of the library.

00:04:50You do a quick search on the Internet and you discover that you can order the book now and receive it the next day.

00:04:56Ok, great!

00:04:57It turns out that the closest book is in a library in West Coast.

00:05:02Bad news because you are currently in New York.

00:05:05And the worst is that the only source has been updated several years ago.

00:05:09The book may not even be there anymore.

00:05:11You freeze the time again.

00:05:12It took you 10 seconds to get all the necessary information.

00:05:16You have no choice but to go on a bike trip that will take you about 6 months.

00:05:20No other vehicle is at your disposal.

00:05:23You find the best bike and the best equipment possible.

00:05:27You prepare supplies and you leave the city.

00:05:29You travel through the mountains, swamps and arid lands.

00:05:33You ride your bike through suspension waterfalls and you cross violent storms, also frozen.

00:05:39You find shelters inside to sleep because it is constantly sunny.

00:05:44Finally, you took your time to arrive and you enjoyed the trip to see all the curiosities of the country.

00:05:50You spent a week in Grand Canyon and a month in Yellowstone.

00:05:54You approached bears and wolves to observe the details of their muzzles.

00:05:58You even decided to pedal to Mexico to see its landscapes and architecture.

00:06:03You visited all the cities and villages without worrying about money or a place to sleep.

00:06:09Be careful, Simpa does not tolerate that we use things without paying them.

00:06:14Remember that it is an imaginary journey.

00:06:16Ok, we continue.

00:06:18After touring all of Mexico, you continued to Central America

00:06:22where you were able to see even more amazing sites and monuments.

00:06:25And since you have already arrived so far, why not continue to pedal to South America?

00:06:30You can even visit your friend in Argentina.

00:06:33He will not know that you came, but it would be nice to give him a little visit.

00:06:37After sunbathing on a beach in Brazil and doing a bit of mountaineering in Bolivia,

00:06:42you find yourself in the southernmost point of South America and you admire the trip you made.

00:06:46On the other side of the ocean is Antarctica.

00:06:49It is impossible to take a boat and sail there.

00:06:53So you decide that it is time to get back to your business.

00:06:56According to your calculations, it took you about 4 years to make this trip.

00:07:00But you finally arrive at the library.

00:07:02You take out your water bottle to drink a sip.

00:07:05But you accidentally drop your watch on the ground and time starts again.

00:07:09Everyone is in motion.

00:07:10Cars honk.

00:07:11Dogs bark.

00:07:12People scream and call each other.

00:07:14It's been so long since you've heard a human voice.

00:07:17Some people are staring at you.

00:07:20You are overwhelmed by all the energy that surrounds you.

00:07:23But you recover quickly.

00:07:25You wait to try to find the watch.

00:07:27Here it is.

00:07:28You stop time.

00:07:29There are only 3 seconds left.

00:07:32You spend what seems to be another month in this large library trying to find the third volume.

00:07:38You no longer have time to do another search on the Internet with these 3 seconds.

00:07:43After finally finding it, you spend 2 more months looking for how to repair your watch.

00:07:47When you're done, all you have to do is press the button to make everything go back to normal.

00:07:52But you decide to pedal to your home.

00:07:55You clean up all the mess you put in the library and go back to the café where it all started.

00:08:00You even give back the bike you borrowed.

00:08:02It's time.

00:08:033 seconds to see if all this work has been useful.

00:08:06You press the button and look at the seconds go by.

00:08:09You look at your watch.

00:08:113

00:08:122

00:08:131

00:08:14Everything goes back to normal.

00:08:16You go home and lock this watch in your drawer so you never use it again.

00:08:20Well, until next time.

00:08:25Imagine a planet where each breath fills your body with energy.

00:08:29Like an espresso.

00:08:31The sky above you is an intense blue,

00:08:34while gargantuan trees spread far into the atmosphere,

00:08:37their leaves a sparkling glass pushing at a stupefying speed.

00:08:42Your daily footwork becomes an unparalleled pleasure.

00:08:46Thanks to the abundance of oxygen, you become a boosted version of yourself.

00:08:51Running on foot is done effortlessly,

00:08:53while you rush through the landscape and lift weights that would normally seem unbearable to you.

00:08:59It's as if the world itself was imbued with energy.

00:09:03Everything goes faster.

00:09:05The fauna around you is also affected by this overload of oxygen.

00:09:09The animals gallop on the ground with grace,

00:09:11their massive bones propelled by unparalleled agility.

00:09:15Imagine yourself in a relentless chase with a cheetah doped with oxygen,

00:09:20facing a predator that could bring misery to a Ferrari.

00:09:24You may wonder how such a scenario could be possible.

00:09:28Let's see.

00:09:29Oxygen is the powerful fuel that allows terrestrial life to exist as such.

00:09:35It constitutes about 21% of the air we breathe,

00:09:38and each breath we take transmits these small molecules to our cells,

00:09:43providing them with the energy they need to develop.

00:09:46Without oxygen, they would be suffocated and our bodies would collapse.

00:09:50But that's not all.

00:09:52Oxygen is a panacea that works for all kinds of living beings,

00:09:56from tiny bacteria to gigantic elephants.

00:09:59It is even crucial underwater, where it enriches the oceans.

00:10:02Amazing creatures such as plankton and algae produce a lot of oxygen,

00:10:07thus creating a prosperous underwater world.

00:10:10But to understand the impact of high levels of oxygen on the planet,

00:10:13get ready for a little time travel.

00:10:17Recently, scientists made an amazing discovery.

00:10:20They tested rocks coming from two different places,

00:10:23very far from each other.

00:10:25And guess what?

00:10:26These rocks contained tiny gas pockets,

00:10:29which showed how oxygen levels had increased by nearly a third in a very short time,

00:10:34like a breath of fresh air on a planetary scale.

00:10:37The researchers therefore studied these rocks and discovered

00:10:40that oxygen levels were much higher at the time.

00:10:44Imagine luxurious landscapes, impenetrable forests,

00:10:48and huge swamps that spread out at close range.

00:10:52During the Carboniferous period,

00:10:54oxygen permeated the atmosphere with an impressive concentration of 20%,

00:10:58just like today.

00:11:00But over the next 50 million years,

00:11:02its concentration rose sharply to reach 35%.

00:11:06Can you imagine what happened?

00:11:08The increase in oxygen levels caused an incredible phenomenon.

00:11:12Huge forests grew all over the Earth,

00:11:14creating a greenish world that was breathtaking.

00:11:17Vast swamps spread out in low-altitude areas,

00:11:20giving the landscape a surrealistic look.

00:11:23At the same time, carbon dioxide levels fell.

00:11:27Normally, when things decompose,

00:11:29the microbes release carbon dioxide into the air.

00:11:32This gas acts as a heating blanket,

00:11:35imprisoning the heat of the sun and increasing temperatures.

00:11:39But in these unfathomable swamps,

00:11:41where the giant plants were submerged,

00:11:44the microbes could not do their job.

00:11:47Result?

00:11:48The planet became very cold.

00:11:50Who would have thought that a breath of fresh air could act so literally?

00:11:54Scientists are still trying to understand why this happened.

00:11:58But one thing is certain.

00:11:59The phenomenon did not appear in one place.

00:12:02It was a global trend.

00:12:04It's as if the planet was having fun with the buttons on the thermostat.

00:12:08But let's go even further.

00:12:10We see the first dinosaurs of America make their entrance.

00:12:13The high levels of oxygen gave a blow to the rise of these powerful saurians

00:12:18across the globe.

00:12:20Imagine tropics populated by huge and majestic creatures.

00:12:24The dinosaurs obviously did not appear from nowhere.

00:12:27They benefited from a changing environment that was perfect for their evolution.

00:12:31Oxygen levels played an important role in this parade of dinosaurs.

00:12:35And the increase in their concentration led to an increase in their size.

00:12:39It started with predators like the chindesaurus

00:12:42and, shortly after, huge dinosaurs like the sauropods,

00:12:45which took possession of the earth.

00:12:47Then, 65 million years ago,

00:12:50the dinosaurs disappeared and it was the mammals that took over.

00:12:54And here is the most interesting part.

00:12:56Mammals have never reached the size of dinosaurs.

00:12:59How to explain this?

00:13:01Mammals, among which humans, by the way,

00:13:05have the particularity of being able to regulate their body temperature.

00:13:08But this has a cost.

00:13:10We need a lot of energy to stay warm,

00:13:13unlike reptiles and dinosaurs.

00:13:15Saurians did not care to regulate their temperature

00:13:19and could therefore concentrate their resources on their growth.

00:13:23The largest dinosaurs were about ten times larger

00:13:26than the largest mammals.

00:13:28It's a bit like a pretentious child.

00:13:30Everything you can do, I can do it ten times bigger.

00:13:34Dinosaurs may have similar limits

00:13:37in terms of their maximum size,

00:13:39but they were much less strict.

00:13:41Before the extinction of dinosaurs,

00:13:43mammals were very small

00:13:45and many species disappeared at the same time as the dinosaurs.

00:13:49But the survivors took advantage of this ecosystem,

00:13:52left vacant, and quickly diversified

00:13:55to reach different sizes.

00:13:57However, after 42 million years of growth,

00:14:00the size of mammals has reached a ceiling.

00:14:03This phenomenon is observed on all continents,

00:14:05most likely due to the surface of the earth

00:14:08and their temperature.

00:14:10The colder environments have allowed mammals to grow,

00:14:13but the balance between body size and heat

00:14:16has become difficult to find.

00:14:18The expansion of habitable lands

00:14:20has also played a role in the maintenance of large populations.

00:14:24But the increase in the size of animals

00:14:26is not the only thing that oxygen can accomplish.

00:14:29This gas is a real touchstone.

00:14:31It also acts as a faithful bodyguard,

00:14:33protecting us from harmful UV rays

00:14:35and other dangers from space.

00:14:38Without oxygen, we would be defenseless

00:14:40against such threats.

00:14:42Oxygen also plays a predominant role

00:14:44in the formation of storms.

00:14:46It is associated with other gases in the atmosphere

00:14:49to create tornadoes, hurricanes, and electric storms.

00:14:53It mixes in the air,

00:14:55creating the ideal conditions

00:14:57for these massive meteorological phenomena to occur.

00:15:00These can be dangerous,

00:15:02but they play an important role.

00:15:05They contribute to the distribution of nutrients

00:15:07and organic matter

00:15:09by moving the earth, leaves,

00:15:11and other debris to new places.

00:15:13And if we decide to play with the forces of nature

00:15:15and increase oxygen levels

00:15:17to insane levels, 30, 40,

00:15:19or even 50%,

00:15:21we all know that we should not abuse good things.

00:15:24We talk about oxygen toxicity

00:15:26when too much carbon dioxide

00:15:28leads to health problems.

00:15:30It's like eating a lot of candy.

00:15:32It's fun at first,

00:15:34but you'll regret it soon enough.

00:15:36Surprisingly, an overdose of oxygen

00:15:38can make you struggle to breathe,

00:15:40like an exhausted dancer

00:15:42who desperately needs a break.

00:15:44At first, you can feel a regain of energy,

00:15:46but it won't last.

00:15:48Dizziness is felt

00:15:50as if you had danced on the dance floor

00:15:52for hours without stopping.

00:15:54In extreme CA,

00:15:56an excess of oxygen can even harm your body,

00:15:58giving you the impression

00:16:00of being hit by a truck.

00:16:02So while oxygen is always on our side

00:16:04and gives us life,

00:16:06it is important to appreciate its delicate balance.

00:16:08So don't rush

00:16:10on the first breathing equipment.

00:16:12In addition, we would not be

00:16:14the only creatures to suffer from this oxygen orgy.

00:16:16Mammals,

00:16:18as a whole,

00:16:20will have trouble adapting to these extreme levels.

00:16:22The balance of forces between species

00:16:24will change radically,

00:16:26and the winners will fight for their survival

00:16:28in a world that will escape all control.

00:16:30We will need more robust shelters

00:16:32to face these disproportionate animals.

00:16:34We will have to remain agile

00:16:36to avoid danger.

00:16:38And in the midst of all this chaos,

00:16:40we will observe amazing adaptation efforts.

00:16:42Birds will fly higher than ever,

00:16:44overheading to the clouds.

00:16:46Prepare yourself for more natural disasters

00:16:48and for ecosystems

00:16:50with an ever more precarious balance.

00:16:52Fires will start very quickly

00:16:54and will rage for weeks,

00:16:56making forest fires

00:16:58a constant threat.

00:17:00Even the smallest spark

00:17:02from a campfire

00:17:04can cause a real disaster.

00:17:08What a crazy night!

00:17:10Your friends and you

00:17:12get out of the car and call a taxi.

00:17:14Ten minutes later,

00:17:16you all arrive at your respective houses.

00:17:18While chatting with your friends,

00:17:20you notice that the streetlights

00:17:22are already off.

00:17:24Even if it is 3 o'clock in the morning

00:17:26and it is still dark outside.

00:17:28But it doesn't matter.

00:17:30The taxi drops you off at home

00:17:32at full speed.

00:17:34The alley is also dark.

00:17:36Everyone sleeps at this time.

00:17:38You walk to your front door.

00:17:40The light sensitive to movement

00:17:42does not turn on.

00:17:44That's strange.

00:17:46The light bulb must be on.

00:17:48You raise your shoulders

00:17:50and look for your keys in the dark.

00:17:52Here they are.

00:17:54Now you make as little noise as possible

00:17:56so as not to wake everyone up.

00:17:58You don't turn on the lights in the corridor.

00:18:00All you have to do is take a good shower

00:18:02after a crazy night of dancing and sweating.

00:18:04You press the light switch

00:18:06and nothing.

00:18:08The light does not turn on here either.

00:18:10It's not a coincidence.

00:18:12You briefly think about going to the basement

00:18:14and using the diesel generator,

00:18:16but you quickly drop the idea.

00:18:18It's way too noisy.

00:18:20Well, you're going to wash yourself in the dark, too bad.

00:18:22You open the tap in the bathroom,

00:18:24but it makes a strange noise

00:18:26and lets out a few drips,

00:18:28Great!

00:18:30No light, no water.

00:18:32Or how to end the evening on a positive note?

00:18:34Bored,

00:18:36you go up to your room

00:18:38being careful not to walk on your cat on the way

00:18:42and you lie on your bed

00:18:44without even undressing.

00:18:46What a good idea!

00:18:48It's morning.

00:18:50You wake up feeling all greasy.

00:18:52Clothes stick to your body.

00:18:54You desperately need a shower.

00:18:56You go down to the bathroom.

00:19:00You press the switch without thinking

00:19:02and everything comes back to you.

00:19:04There is still no light.

00:19:06You check the tap again.

00:19:08Nothing new there either.

00:19:10Just great.

00:19:12Well, it's already 11 o'clock in the morning,

00:19:14so let's go to the generator.

00:19:16You go to the basement

00:19:18and you pour fuel into the tank.

00:19:20Then you turn it on.

00:19:22It starts to make a lot of noise,

00:19:24which means you have electricity now.

00:19:26As you go up,

00:19:28you see that your mother is awake.

00:19:30You explain to her what's going on

00:19:32and you go out to the store

00:19:34to get some water in a bottle.

00:19:36On the way,

00:19:38you meet one of your neighbors.

00:19:40He carries a 4-liter water can

00:19:42in each hand.

00:19:44Very quickly, you realize

00:19:46that everyone seems to have the same problem.

00:19:48No light, no water.

00:19:50You even see a long line

00:19:52waiting outside the store.

00:19:54You have to wait 20 minutes before your turn

00:19:56and you take two 4-liter bottles.

00:20:02The cashier informs you

00:20:04in a tired voice that card payments

00:20:06are not possible due to a power failure.

00:20:08So you have to pay in cash.

00:20:12You look up at the sky

00:20:14and give him a 5-euro bill.

00:20:16It's probably a temporary inconvenience,

00:20:18nothing more.

00:20:20It's now been a full month

00:20:22without electricity or water in the tap.

00:20:24What started as a simple nuisance

00:20:26is now a real disaster.

00:20:30Most public places are closed,

00:20:32as well as factories

00:20:34and even schools.

00:20:36Television doesn't work either,

00:20:38obviously,

00:20:40and a lot of people are unemployed.

00:20:42You had to drop out of school

00:20:44to help your parents in the garden.

00:20:46They grow their own vegetables.

00:20:48But what really worries you

00:20:50is that there is still no official announcement

00:20:52of what is happening.

00:20:56People are starting to gather

00:20:58in close communities to help each other.

00:21:00Many of those whose work

00:21:02was linked to computers and machines

00:21:04are now learning to survive on their own,

00:21:06without the modern conveniences.

00:21:08But even farmers

00:21:10have had a hard time.

00:21:12They try to use machines with parcimony

00:21:14while saving fuel.

00:21:16Their work has become more and more difficult.

00:21:18Bottled water

00:21:20has also become a luxury.

00:21:22Prices have skyrocketed in recent weeks.

00:21:24And if the situation does not improve quickly,

00:21:26only a minority of people

00:21:28will have access to clean water.

00:21:30At home,

00:21:32you only turn on the diesel generator

00:21:34when it is necessary

00:21:36to cook or do quick cleaning

00:21:38once every few days.

00:21:40The rest of the time,

00:21:42you don't use electricity at all.

00:21:44You start to get used to

00:21:46waking up at dawn to enjoy

00:21:48as much sunlight as possible during the day.

00:21:50When the sun sets,

00:21:52it is impossible to do anything

00:21:54in the dark.

00:21:56So either you go to sleep after a hard day of work,

00:21:58or you light a candle

00:22:00and read a good old book.

00:22:02Half a year has passed.

00:22:04Nothing has changed.

00:22:06We still don't know what caused the breakdown.

00:22:08And people who went on expeditions

00:22:10in other cities

00:22:12have heard the same news everywhere.

00:22:14The problem seems to be global.

00:22:16By getting used to your new lifestyle,

00:22:18you and your parents

00:22:20have reorganized your home.

00:22:22You have a few cows

00:22:24and several chickens for milk and eggs.

00:22:26And your garden

00:22:28is now a real garden

00:22:30with cucumbers, potatoes,

00:22:32tomatoes, and even apples

00:22:34growing under your supervision.

00:22:36But getting water to drink and garden

00:22:38is a real challenge.

00:22:40Bottled water has become too rare

00:22:42and extremely expensive,

00:22:44so you now have to go to the river

00:22:4610 km away.

00:22:48At first, you went there by car

00:22:50taking as many bottles and cans as possible.

00:22:52But after a few months,

00:22:54you ran out of gas.

00:22:56So now, you and your father

00:22:58go back on foot.

00:23:00At least you have a cart,

00:23:02which allows you to transport more

00:23:04than you would do with bare hands.

00:23:06But the journey still lasts most of the day.

00:23:08The city has become

00:23:10a very friendly and supportive community.

00:23:12The neighbors help each other all the time

00:23:14and it has become common

00:23:16to organize barbecues with the whole neighborhood.

00:23:18Everyone brings their own food

00:23:20to contribute

00:23:22and those who are not yet used to natural life

00:23:24bring home some groceries

00:23:26to fill their bellies for several days.

00:23:28Although you live on the outskirts,

00:23:30almost in the countryside,

00:23:32it is still curious to see

00:23:34how calm it is without cars passing by.

00:23:36However, another sound

00:23:38has replaced the engines.

00:23:40Horns honking along the road.

00:23:42More and more people are riding

00:23:44to get around.

00:23:46The city itself has become

00:23:48almost empty.

00:23:50People leave their apartments

00:23:52to go live in the countryside

00:23:54and many of them have to come together

00:23:56to survive on the plots of land

00:23:58they have acquired.

00:24:00The best water points are obviously

00:24:02on the banks of the river.

00:24:04Some have tried to set up counters

00:24:06and sell water from the river,

00:24:08but they have quickly been damaged.

00:24:10Free access to water

00:24:12has been given to everyone.

00:24:14Today is your mother's birthday.

00:24:16Dad and you

00:24:18had exchanged meat and vegetables

00:24:20for a nice bouquet of white roses

00:24:22and some strawberries, her favorite.

00:24:24It is the fourth time

00:24:26you celebrate your birthday in this new world.

00:24:28You have been living on the earth for four and a half years

00:24:30and things are better than ever.

00:24:32Your father spoke to the community

00:24:34and to the former inhabitants of the city

00:24:36on the banks of the river

00:24:38and they agreed to participate

00:24:40in the construction of an irrigation system.

00:24:42You have dug three canals

00:24:44that have allowed the crops to be watered

00:24:46by everyone and which then return

00:24:48to the main stream.

00:24:50Now no longer need to travel 20 km

00:24:52every two or three days.

00:24:54In addition, the people of the neighborhood

00:24:56have organized common crops

00:24:58and you work on your plot every day

00:25:00Then the harvest

00:25:02is distributed among all the inhabitants

00:25:04depending on the size of their household.

00:25:06With this system,

00:25:08no one is left aside

00:25:10even if they cannot work in the fields.

00:25:12Surprisingly,

00:25:14you have taken a liking to this way of life.

00:25:16You hardly remember what it was

00:25:18to have a smartphone or to watch television.

00:25:20But you love the birds' song

00:25:22every night and work in the open air

00:25:24every day.

00:25:26Although it was difficult at first,

00:25:28you are now tanned and muscular

00:25:30and your physical and mental health

00:25:32have improved.

00:25:34No need to respect deadlines

00:25:36or to hurry.

00:25:38Your life is now peaceful

00:25:40and you have a simple goal

00:25:42to live and help others.

00:25:44You have not forgotten your friends

00:25:46and you often come to see them.

00:25:48They come to help you on the field

00:25:50and in the evening,

00:25:52you have dinner together,

00:25:54play cards and sing songs around the fire.

00:25:56As far as you know,

00:25:58life has never been so simple and satisfying.

00:26:00No one knows yet what happened,

00:26:02but in the end,

00:26:04it seems to be for the best.

00:26:08Is the Earth far away?

00:26:10Yes, look how it floats in space

00:26:12among its friends, the planets.

00:26:14You see Mars,

00:26:16red and orange, and Jupiter

00:26:18with its asteroid belt.

00:26:20Even the tiny Pluto is there.

00:26:22All these planets keep their distance from each other,

00:26:24evolving each on its own orbit.

00:26:26They are not very sociable,

00:26:28you know, but it's a good thing.

00:26:30They would only be a nuisance

00:26:32if they got to hang out

00:26:34a little too close.

00:26:36But although they are not unique,

00:26:38the Earth is the only planet with life

00:26:40that we know of.

00:26:42And we even know why.

00:26:44It is because it had the chance

00:26:46to appear at the best place

00:26:48in our solar system,

00:26:50in the golden loop zone.

00:26:52For example, there is water on Mercury.

00:26:54This planet has deposits of water ice

00:26:56at its poles south and north,

00:26:58but only because these places

00:27:00never see the light.

00:27:02Everywhere else, water simply evaporates

00:27:04from the surface of the planet.

00:27:06Mercury is far too close to the sun.

00:27:08Pluto also has a little water.

00:27:10Astronomers even think

00:27:12that the dwarf planet could be

00:27:14made up of 30% water,

00:27:16but it is frozen.

00:27:18Unlike Mercury, Pluto is too far

00:27:20away from the sun.

00:27:22This is why all its water

00:27:24is in the form of ice.

00:27:26But the Earth plans in this perfect region

00:27:28that we call the habitable zone.

00:27:30It has the right temperature

00:27:32for the water to remain liquid

00:27:34and for the various forms of life

00:27:36to flourish.

00:27:38But what would happen

00:27:40if the Earth were the only planet

00:27:42in the solar system?

00:27:44No more Mars, no more Jupiter,

00:27:46no more Mercury, no more Venus.

00:27:48What about the massive asteroid

00:27:50that hit the Earth about 66 million years ago?

00:27:52Yes, the evil rock.

00:27:54Well, without Jupiter and its asteroid belt,

00:27:56our planet would be constantly

00:27:58the target of meteorites and asteroids.

00:28:00And some of them would be as big

00:28:02as the one that caused

00:28:04all this misfortune to the dinosaurs.

00:28:06These rocks would hover in space

00:28:08without anything or anyone to stop them.

00:28:10And if the Earth were the only planet

00:28:12in the area, it would be

00:28:14their only sore spot.

00:28:16Look at all this huge space

00:28:18that the Earth would have for itself.

00:28:20This means that our planet

00:28:22would have the opportunity to travel a little.

00:28:24It could even choose to leave

00:28:26the golden loop zone.

00:28:28But then, would life on the planet

00:28:30continue as before?

00:28:32Let's suppose that the Earth

00:28:34is starting to move away from the sun.

00:28:36It would soon be too cold on the planet.

00:28:38Imagine a place where the sun no longer shines,

00:28:40dark and cold, covered with ice

00:28:42and snow all year round.

00:28:44This is how our Earth would be

00:28:46if it moved away from the sun.

00:28:48If this were to happen,

00:28:50our cities would look very different.

00:28:52For now, the Earth is full of life.

00:28:54Go to any park

00:28:56and you will see green trees and grass everywhere.

00:28:58There will be people walking,

00:29:00sitting on benches and enjoying the sun.

00:29:02You will certainly see someone

00:29:04playing football or frisbee.

00:29:06On the lawns of the park,

00:29:08people will relax on blankets

00:29:10while getting tanned.

00:29:12They will be reading,

00:29:14quiet and happy.

00:29:16But let's go back to space.

00:29:18Here is the Earth again.

00:29:20Our planet is still in its favorite place.

00:29:22That's why life is so beautiful.

00:29:24But wait a minute.

00:29:26Is it moving?

00:29:28Our planet has moved away from the sun.

00:29:30Has this changed things on its surface?

00:29:32It seems a little bluer now.

00:29:34Over there, the golden California

00:29:36has become a little dull.

00:29:38It is even frankly dull and dark.

00:29:40A bit like everywhere else on Earth.

00:29:42New York is covered in ice.

00:29:44Even in the hottest places,

00:29:46temperatures are now below zero,

00:29:48including in places like the Bahamas.

00:29:50After a while,

00:29:52liquid water turns into ice.

00:29:54The oceans now look like

00:29:56huge ice skates.

00:29:58Except that there is no one left to skate

00:30:00because the planet has become

00:30:02far too cold to shelter life.

00:30:04Well, what if instead of moving away from the sun,

00:30:06the Earth got closer to it,

00:30:08with people still on it?

00:30:10Wow!

00:30:12The temperatures would be delirious.

00:30:14Far too high to bear.

00:30:16The climate would not stop warming.

00:30:18Natural disasters would become more frequent.

00:30:20Hurricanes and floods

00:30:22would now be commonplace on Earth.

00:30:24And very soon,

00:30:26the planet would be too hot

00:30:28for people to live there.

00:30:30Particles from the sun

00:30:32would pose a considerable threat.

00:30:34The atmosphere would no longer protect

00:30:36the Earth from solar radiation.

00:30:38This shield would be increasingly weak.

00:30:40Liquid water would no longer be found

00:30:42anywhere, perhaps only in underground depots.

00:30:44The Earth would look a bit like Mars,

00:30:46all rocky and sterile.

00:30:48The Mississippi would dry up

00:30:50and we would find a huge canyon

00:30:52in its place.

00:30:54The oceans would also all have disappeared.

00:30:56At present,

00:30:58the Marianas Fault is the deepest

00:31:00known place on Earth.

00:31:02And it is incredibly difficult

00:31:04to reach its bottom

00:31:06due to the immense pressure

00:31:08that reigns there.

00:31:10But if there was no more water,

00:31:12it would be quite possible

00:31:14to travel to this place.

00:31:16We would discover new secrets,

00:31:18provided, of course,

00:31:20that there are still people

00:31:22in this drought and this heat.

00:31:24In other words,

00:31:26if we explored the Earth

00:31:28after it got closer to the sun,

00:31:30we would find it very different

00:31:32and the only difference

00:31:34would be that there would be

00:31:36no other planet around us.

00:31:38This would change the way

00:31:40we explore space.

00:31:42Of course, there would still be

00:31:44positioning, communication

00:31:46and meteorology satellites

00:31:48and perhaps space telescopes.

00:31:50But there would be no celestial body

00:31:52close enough for us to do expeditions.

00:31:54This would also affect our future.

00:31:56If we had no desire or possibility

00:31:58to go into space,

00:32:00we would use aerial telescopes

00:32:02instead of looking for other planets

00:32:04to colonize.

00:32:06Today, if you have a telescope

00:32:08you can see distant stars

00:32:10and other planets.

00:32:12The more efficient the telescope is,

00:32:14the more details there are to see.

00:32:16But if there were no other planets,

00:32:18looking at space would not be

00:32:20as captivating.

00:32:22The stars would still be visible

00:32:24and you could even see

00:32:26one or two meteoroids.

00:32:28We would focus on Earth's safety

00:32:30mainly because asteroids

00:32:32would become frequent visitors.

00:32:34To protect the planet,

00:32:36our scientists would have to

00:32:38find ways to get rid of them.

00:32:40For example, using a huge laser beam

00:32:42which, if lit, could go

00:32:44to the Moon and even further.

00:32:46Instead of building rockets

00:32:48to explore space, SpaceX and NASA

00:32:50would clean up asteroids.

00:32:52Humans would not even think

00:32:54of trying to contact other civilizations.

00:32:56If there were no other planets

00:32:58similar to Earth,

00:33:00they would consider it a futile effort.

00:33:02This means that no radio signal

00:33:04would be sent into space.

00:33:06Surprisingly, in February 2008,

00:33:08the Beatles' song,

00:33:10Across the Universe,

00:33:12was broadcast into space.

00:33:14This was done to celebrate

00:33:16the 40th anniversary of the song

00:33:18and the 50th anniversary of NASA.

00:33:20In the 1970s,

00:33:22we sent another radio signal

00:33:24into space.

00:33:26It contained some basic information

00:33:28about humans and the Solar System.

00:33:30But it was more of a technological

00:33:32push than an attempt to contact

00:33:34any extraterrestrial friends.

00:33:36In the absence of planets,

00:33:38the world of science fiction

00:33:40would change as well.

00:33:42There would be no more movies

00:33:44about space exploration.

00:33:46No spacecraft and no rocket

00:33:48would appear on the big screen.

00:33:50And since there would be

00:33:52no space to look for life signs

00:33:54and explore new worlds,

00:33:56like what rovers are doing on Mars

00:33:58at the moment,

00:34:00people would focus more

00:34:02on their own planet.

00:34:04For example, we would start

00:34:06to explore its deepest regions.

00:34:08New technologies would allow us

00:34:10to dig much, much deeper,

00:34:12to the Earth's cave,

00:34:14and even further.

00:34:16A trip to the heart of the planet.

00:34:18Instead of astronauts,

00:34:20it would be called

00:34:22the Earth-seekers.

00:34:24New drilling technologies

00:34:26would be invented to make

00:34:28the process more efficient.

00:34:30There would be new types of vehicles.

00:34:32They would be created to dig

00:34:34and protect explorers

00:34:36from the enormous underground pressure.

00:34:38By exploring the world

00:34:40under the Earth's surface,

00:34:42we would probably find

00:34:44absolutely new forms of life.

00:34:46They would be mysterious creatures

00:34:48with very little food.

00:34:50This would probably help us

00:34:52better understand our beautiful planet.

00:34:56If I asked you,

00:34:58what time is it?

00:35:00You would probably look at your phone,

00:35:02the screen of your laptop

00:35:04or your bracelet watch to find out.

00:35:06But how do these devices

00:35:08know the time?

00:35:10In your devices,

00:35:12the time is automatically set

00:35:14by a program.

00:35:16These devices set their watch

00:35:18by dialing before the sale.

00:35:20But how can these people

00:35:22know their exact time?

00:35:24Does anyone really know

00:35:26what time it is?

00:35:28There is something to sing about.

00:35:30Anyway,

00:35:32how to determine this time?

00:35:34And what happens

00:35:36if all the clocks in the world

00:35:38stop?

00:35:40Wait a minute,

00:35:42or maybe longer.

00:35:44There is a world called

00:35:46hydrogen masers.

00:35:48There are about 400

00:35:50CO2 devices in the world,

00:35:52and they are the entire planet

00:35:54to be spotted in time.

00:35:56All modern technologies,

00:35:58satellites, operating systems,

00:36:00GPS, volume and train schedules,

00:36:02and TV programs on your screen

00:36:04are governed by the atomic clock.

00:36:06Here's how it works.

00:36:08Imagine a pendulum.

00:36:10It oscillates from one side to the other.

00:36:12An oscillation from left to right,

00:36:14or vice versa,

00:36:16corresponds to a period of time

00:36:18equal to one second.

00:36:20The pendulum is not very precise

00:36:22because it is not constant.

00:36:24Its movement can slow down

00:36:26or accelerate.

00:36:28In atomic clocks,

00:36:30atoms play the role of a pendulum.

00:36:32When they are exposed

00:36:34to a microwave radiation,

00:36:36they begin to fluctuate.

00:36:38About 9 billion fluctuations

00:36:40in a second.

00:36:42The vibrations of the atoms

00:36:44are precise and constant.

00:36:46These clocks do not delay

00:36:48as long as they do not advance.

00:36:50The margin of error

00:36:52of such a clock

00:36:54can be one second

00:36:56every 10 million years.

00:36:58We can't wait that long,

00:37:00so let's believe the experts.

00:37:02Atomic clocks guide

00:37:04all our modern technologies,

00:37:06starting with communication satellites.

00:37:08Atomic clocks stop working.

00:37:10The atoms no longer react

00:37:12to microwaves.

00:37:14After them, the quartz watches

00:37:16and all electronic watches stop.

00:37:18Your phone no longer indicates the time.

00:37:20And the time of arrival of flights

00:37:22disappears on the airport display panel.

00:37:24At that moment,

00:37:26all distributors contact the pilots

00:37:28and ask them to land urgently

00:37:30in the nearest airports.

00:37:32Subsequent flights become impossible.

00:37:34There are too many planes in the sky.

00:37:36If several take off

00:37:38and land at the same time on the same runway,

00:37:40it can lead to a disaster.

00:37:42Without clocks,

00:37:44flight distributors could not

00:37:46establish correct programs.

00:37:48It's the same for all trains.

00:37:50Stations can no longer coordinate

00:37:52routes or make

00:37:54turn signals on railways.

00:37:56This system is too complex

00:37:58and can only work with a specific schedule.

00:38:00The world is beginning

00:38:02to plunge into total chaos.

00:38:04The banking system is collapsing.

00:38:06Couriers no longer transfer money

00:38:08to their clients' accounts on time.

00:38:10People can no longer receive their wages on time.

00:38:12Imagine that you promised

00:38:14to send a presentation

00:38:16to a client tomorrow at 2 p.m.

00:38:18and that you expect to be paid for it.

00:38:20The next day,

00:38:22you don't know what time it is

00:38:24and you send the presentation to the client

00:38:26two hours too late.

00:38:28He does not receive the file on time

00:38:30and the contract falls into the water.

00:38:32In large factories,

00:38:34the schedule of the day is no longer respected.

00:38:36The profitability of the workers

00:38:38is deeply affected.

00:38:40Imagine that a factory produces

00:38:42two tons of steel

00:38:44in exactly eight hours.

00:38:46Except that this pace of work

00:38:48is disturbed, which reduces the volume.

00:38:50Then, this steel should be

00:38:52shipped by ship.

00:38:54However, the schedules of the ships

00:38:56no longer work either,

00:38:58and this applies to all raw materials

00:39:00such as electric drivers, oil

00:39:02and metals.

00:39:04Logistics chains collapse

00:39:06because of the stop of clocks.

00:39:08The economic crisis leaves room for panic

00:39:10in the whole world.

00:39:12The stock market closes and opens every day

00:39:14at different times.

00:39:16Shareholders and other investors

00:39:18are paying for it.

00:39:20Some say it's the clock

00:39:22and not the steam engine

00:39:24that was the most important mechanism

00:39:26of the industrial revolution.

00:39:28Steam engines propelled locomotives

00:39:30and boats,

00:39:32but they could not

00:39:34synchronize the work of a large number

00:39:36of people.

00:39:38In these conditions, you do not rush

00:39:40anywhere, but all the other people

00:39:42do the same.

00:39:44You can go to the supermarket,

00:39:46which will be closed because its owner

00:39:48has not woken up.

00:39:50But when the doors open, you see

00:39:52that there is almost no more product.

00:39:54Boats, trains and trucks

00:39:56could not deliver fruits, bread and vegetables

00:39:58because they could not agree on time.

00:40:00Many will leave the big cities

00:40:02because it will be almost impossible

00:40:04to live there without a clock.

00:40:06The era of high technology

00:40:08is revolutionary.

00:40:10Television channels have ceased to broadcast

00:40:12because it was enough for some employees

00:40:14to be late for the show to go down.

00:40:16The channel's host arrives before the cameraman.

00:40:18But the sound engineer is still sleeping

00:40:20because his alarm clock no longer knows the time.

00:40:22To put an end

00:40:24to this nightmare, two things must be done.

00:40:26The first is to accept

00:40:28that our high-tech life

00:40:30will no longer exist.

00:40:32The second is to take example

00:40:34of our ancestors.

00:40:36People have lived for thousands of years

00:40:38without knowing their exact time.

00:40:40This has only been necessary

00:40:42since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

00:40:44Before that,

00:40:46people were guided by the sun,

00:40:48the sound of the clock and their internal biological clock.

00:40:50For hundreds of thousands of years,

00:40:52humans have been used to

00:40:54going to bed at night

00:40:56and waking up in the morning.

00:40:58But the invention of the electric bulb

00:41:00disrupted this natural order.

00:41:02The industrial era forced humanity

00:41:04to focus no longer

00:41:06on its internal clock,

00:41:08but on the opening time of factories.

00:41:10Then television,

00:41:12the Internet and video games

00:41:14were invented.

00:41:16And our sleep pattern established by evolution

00:41:18has changed.

00:41:20But in a world where we will no longer count time,

00:41:22people will forget

00:41:24the alarm clocks again and begin

00:41:26to improve their sleep.

00:41:28There will be a solar dial in each house

00:41:30and it is its number that will guide humanity.

00:41:32The sandals

00:41:34of different shapes and sizes

00:41:36will become popular again.

00:41:38Sooner or later,

00:41:40we will find a landmark in time,

00:41:42as in the past.

00:41:44For example, in the 19th century,

00:41:46people used hundreds

00:41:48of different schedules.

00:41:50The schedules of railways and buses

00:41:52determined each of them.

00:41:54When the number of itineraries increased,

00:41:56people began to stick to

00:41:58the time set by the Greenwich Meridian

00:42:00in the United Kingdom.

00:42:02A large mechanical clock guided the whole country.

00:42:04It is the average time of Greenwich or GMT.

00:42:06Merchants,

00:42:08factory managers and bankers

00:42:10adjusted their watches according to this time.

00:42:12When all British trains

00:42:14were timed,

00:42:16the GMT signal was sent across the Atlantic

00:42:18by submarine cable

00:42:20to Harvard in Massachusetts.

00:42:22Then,

00:42:24during a special conference in Washington,

00:42:26more than 25 countries

00:42:28recognized Greenwich as the international

00:42:30time standard.

00:42:32Everything went as on wheels.

00:42:34Technology worked in a synchronized way

00:42:36throughout the world.

00:42:38But the problems began.

00:42:40After 10 years, scientists realized

00:42:42that the world needed new clocks.

00:42:44It turned out that Greenwich's clock

00:42:46was imprecise

00:42:48because it was based on the time

00:42:50our planet rotated around its axis.

00:42:52In the 20th century,

00:42:54we learned that the Earth changed

00:42:56its rotation speed over the years.

00:42:58Oh yes?

00:43:00It accelerates or slows down

00:43:02due to the gravitational influence

00:43:04of the Moon, the Sun and other planets,

00:43:06as well as geological fluctuations

00:43:08inside the Earth's core.

00:43:10Scientists calculated

00:43:12that in 1900,

00:43:14the Earth rotated 4 milliseconds slower

00:43:16than at the end of the 20th and 1st century.

00:43:18Yes,

00:43:20there are people who look at this kind of detail.

00:43:22This is why people

00:43:24began to develop other more precise clocks,

00:43:26atomic clocks

00:43:28that we still use.

00:43:30But the strangest thing is that

00:43:32even these clocks do not work as we would like.

00:43:34Their main problem

00:43:36is excessive precision.

00:43:38The Earth does not always rotate in the same way,

00:43:40so that engineers

00:43:42sometimes add or subtract

00:43:44additional seconds to the atomic clock.

00:43:46And this is why

00:43:48ordinary clocks are based on

00:43:50the rotation of our planet.

00:43:52When the time of such a clock indicates the morning,

00:43:54it is also the morning outside.

00:43:56When the clock indicates a late hour,

00:43:58it is night outside.

00:44:00Are you following me?

00:44:02Our planet does not rotate at a constant speed

00:44:04and the atomic clock is perfectly stable.

00:44:06If the world always worked

00:44:08on the basis of these clocks,

00:44:10time would move away sooner or later

00:44:12from the real time of our days

00:44:14and our nights.

00:44:16At some point,

00:44:18the sun would rise at 6 p.m.

00:44:20and the sunset would begin

00:44:22at 7 a.m.

00:44:24To avoid this,

00:44:26people who count the time

00:44:28slightly modify the time of atomic clocks.

00:44:30All this is necessary to preserve

00:44:32things as they are for ordinary people,

00:44:34so that the time of the morning on the clock

00:44:36and outside coincide.

00:44:38Well, now it's time for me

00:44:40to act like an atom and separate myself.

00:44:42Ciao!

00:44:44Live broadcast,

00:44:46with a last-minute news.

00:44:48All the snakes have suddenly disappeared.

00:44:50If you saw this in the news,

00:44:52what do you think would happen?

00:44:54Well, Voldemort would certainly not be

00:44:56happy to hear that.

00:44:58And the other snake-thieves either.

00:45:00Hogwarts would have three houses

00:45:02and Harry Potter would have four.

00:45:04The spell would be useless.

00:45:08Ok, Harry Potter fans,

00:45:10let's go back to reality.

00:45:12How would this affect us?

00:45:14Let's first look at the bright side of things.

00:45:16People suffering from

00:45:18Ophidiophobia,

00:45:20that is, the fear of snakes,

00:45:22would be deeply relieved.

00:45:24We all agree that snakes

00:45:26are not everyone's favorite animals.

00:45:28Some are venomous,

00:45:30which does not contribute to

00:45:32improving their reputation.

00:45:34We often forget that these animals

00:45:36generally prefer to fight in retreat

00:45:38when we meet them.

00:45:40They can defend themselves

00:45:42if they feel threatened.

00:45:44But when we leave them alone,

00:45:46they have no desire to rub against us.

00:45:48Finally, always try to explain this

00:45:50to people suffering from phobia.

00:45:52From now on, they will be able to

00:45:54practice outdoor activities

00:45:56such as climbing, like everyone.

00:45:59The structure of an ecosystem

00:46:01works like a well-oiled mechanism.

00:46:03Each species plays an important role in it.

00:46:05And if one of them starts to fail,

00:46:07others will be affected.

00:46:09Snakes are no exception to the rule.

00:46:11They feed mainly on mice or rats.

00:46:13They help control the populations

00:46:15of rodents and other small mammals.

00:46:19Which is also important

00:46:21to curb the spread of diseases.

00:46:23We just have to rethink

00:46:25the spread of the plague

00:46:27in the medieval era.

00:46:29The elimination of all reptiles

00:46:31could lead to a similar disaster.

00:46:33Did you know that the bubonic plague

00:46:35had never completely disappeared?

00:46:37It was also observed

00:46:39in the modern era,

00:46:41in Madagascar for example, in 2008.

00:46:43It is therefore good to have

00:46:45some snakes to protect us

00:46:47from such epidemics.

00:46:49Snakes are excellent hunters.

00:46:51They tend to ambush their prey

00:46:53by using their overdeveloped blood

00:46:55to search and track them.

00:46:57They are extremely mobile.

00:46:59They can sneak into cracks,

00:47:01crawl on rocky walls

00:47:03and even swim.

00:47:05Some are even able to fly.

00:47:07Finally, in a way,

00:47:09flying snakes can't really

00:47:11take altitude,

00:47:13but they can glide.

00:47:15They exploit the momentum

00:47:17of free fall and the contortions

00:47:19of their bodies to be carried

00:47:21by the ascending waves.

00:47:23They can catch their prey

00:47:25in different ways.

00:47:27If we imagine a world without them,

00:47:29it will lead us to another phobia.

00:47:33Let me introduce you to

00:47:35musophobia.

00:47:37It is the fear of mice and rats.

00:47:39People affected by this phobia

00:47:41will have a hard time supporting

00:47:43all these rats that roam freely

00:47:45since there are no more snakes

00:47:47to eat.

00:47:49Not to mention that a single couple

00:47:51of rats can kill a whole family

00:47:53in a single year.

00:47:55Hello, the damage on cultures.

00:47:57An overpopulation of rodents

00:47:59can lead to a shortage of food

00:48:01and a fierce competition

00:48:03for resources.

00:48:05Like a little Hunger Games

00:48:07atmosphere you can't find.

00:48:09And mice wouldn't be

00:48:11our only problem.

00:48:13We can also add insects to the list.

00:48:15Again, without snakes,

00:48:17they would invade our streets.

00:48:19They would destroy our food chain

00:48:21as prey.

00:48:23Snakes would lack mongooses,

00:48:25eagles and other raptors.

00:48:27In the end, some populations

00:48:29of large mammals would decline

00:48:31in turn, which could lead

00:48:33to the extinction of some species.

00:48:35Then comes medicine.

00:48:37These creatures would lack

00:48:39scientists and researchers.

00:48:41Snake venom is the key

00:48:43to the development of some remedies.

00:48:45For example, some medicines

00:48:47and heart diseases

00:48:49have been derived from snake venom.

00:48:51Patients who need it

00:48:53will also be affected.

00:48:55When we talk about snake

00:48:57and medicine,

00:48:59something else comes to mind.

00:49:01Botox.

00:49:03Is it really snake venom?

00:49:05No, the venom used in

00:49:07skin injections does not

00:49:09come from the animal itself.

00:49:11It turns out that this component

00:49:13is nicknamed the Sennheiker.

00:49:15It is an ingredient synthesized

00:49:17by man and designed to imitate

00:49:19the effects of temple viper venom.

00:49:21Now, let's imagine

00:49:23what life would be

00:49:25without snakes.

00:49:27We start with the first day.

00:49:29People do not immediately notice

00:49:31the absence of these creatures.

00:49:33Thus, during the first week,

00:49:35and especially in cities,

00:49:37people would not realize

00:49:39that all the snakes had disappeared.

00:49:41Zookeepers could start panicking.

00:49:43The news of the disappearance

00:49:45of many snakes in vivariums

00:49:47would be the first.

00:49:49Security may have examined

00:49:51all the video surveillance images,

00:49:53they would be shocked to discover

00:49:55that the snakes had disappeared

00:49:57in nature.

00:49:59After the spread of this news,

00:50:01the authorities probably conduct

00:50:03an investigation to verify

00:50:05if there are still any snakes

00:50:07left in the country.

00:50:09The problem would then become

00:50:11clear to the reptiles and those

00:50:13who could be treated.

00:50:15By the time the authorities

00:50:17and the population understand

00:50:19the gravity of the situation,

00:50:21ecosystems would already be changing.

00:50:23People living in urban environments

00:50:25could not be directly affected

00:50:27during the first months.

00:50:29But afterwards, they would see

00:50:31more mice in their houses

00:50:33and in their streets.

00:50:35About 500,000 mice live

00:50:37in the London Metro tunnel network,

00:50:39the number may vary,

00:50:41but many rodents live

00:50:43in big cities,

00:50:45and this would become

00:50:47much more arduous.

00:50:49You would only have to open

00:50:51a kitchen cupboard

00:50:53to find a mouse

00:50:55scratching you

00:50:57behind a pot of peanut butter.

00:50:59New career opportunities

00:51:01would arise because the demand

00:51:03for housing for rodents

00:51:05was on the rise.

00:51:07After all,

00:51:09they should provide people

00:51:11with safe places to live.

00:51:13Of course, cities would not be

00:51:15the only ones to be affected

00:51:17by the absence of snakes.

00:51:19Countries would have

00:51:21even more problems.

00:51:23Without snakes,

00:51:25the number of harmful animals

00:51:27would increase.

00:51:29This would begin to destroy

00:51:31the cultures and habitats

00:51:33of other animals,

00:51:35and it would be impossible

00:51:37to protect the environment,

00:51:39which should be their

00:51:41absolute priority.

00:51:43Researchers and scientists,

00:51:45as for them,

00:51:47will have to assume

00:51:49an immense responsibility.

00:51:51Perhaps they will recreate

00:51:53snakes in laboratories

00:51:55that could be as nutritious

00:51:57as the real ones.

00:51:59Thus, raptors like eagles

00:52:01could hunt them

00:52:03If we spent 5 years

00:52:05since the first day of the world

00:52:07without snakes,

00:52:09we would be faced

00:52:11with an entirely different planet.

00:52:13Perhaps we would even have

00:52:15a special day for it,

00:52:17the 5th anniversary

00:52:19of the world without snakes.

00:52:21The differences would be obvious,

00:52:23but by then,

00:52:25people would probably

00:52:27get used to living

00:52:29in such a world.

00:52:31Then,

00:52:33new museums would be

00:52:35dedicated to snakes.

00:52:37We could read the history

00:52:39of their evolution

00:52:41and admire their fossils.

00:52:43You may stop at the souvenir shop

00:52:45to buy a snake-shaped pen

00:52:47for your friend.

00:52:49Finally,

00:52:51we would still be

00:52:53looking for alternatives

00:52:55to snake venom

00:52:57in the field of medicine.

00:52:59Animals are essential

00:53:01to certain studies

00:53:03and certain drugs.

00:53:05Researchers would still

00:53:07look for alternatives

00:53:09capable of replacing

00:53:11snake venom.

00:53:13If we lived 200 years,

00:53:15we would see a world

00:53:17where people have

00:53:19completely accepted

00:53:21that snakes have disappeared

00:53:23for good,

00:53:25to such an extent

00:53:27that we would have to

00:53:29put this animal

00:53:31in history books

00:53:33and archive videos.

00:53:35Coloring books would

00:53:37represent dogs, cats

00:53:39and chickens,

00:53:41but not snakes.

00:53:43Mythological creatures

00:53:45like jellyfish,

00:53:47gorgon and chameleon

00:53:49would become even more fascinating.

00:53:51Oh, and we would no longer

00:53:53compare a deaf person

00:53:55to a deaf person,

00:53:57so we would probably

00:53:59find a solution.

00:54:01Let's cross our fingers

00:54:03so that this scenario

00:54:05never becomes reality.

00:54:07Do you have any other ideas

00:54:09about how events

00:54:11could take place

00:54:13in a world without snakes?

00:54:15You work in a large

00:54:17natural reserve

00:54:19that houses

00:54:21more than a thousand

00:54:23animals.

00:54:25Wild horses come out

00:54:27of the forest running.

00:54:29They look worried too.

00:54:31You hear many animals crying.

00:54:33It looks like something strange

00:54:35and unknown has awakened

00:54:37and horrified the whole reserve.

00:54:39You see a flash in the night sky.

00:54:41It's a meteorite

00:54:43and it flies straight at you.

00:54:45You get in your car,

00:54:47you press the accelerator

00:54:49and you move as far away as possible.

00:54:51You faint.

00:54:53The fallen meteorite

00:54:55emits a strange yellow glow.

00:54:57You are unconscious inside your car,

00:54:59upside down.

00:55:01All the animals have calmed down.

00:55:03Thousands of them approach

00:55:05the meteorite silently.

00:55:07Its energy envelops you

00:55:09and all the animals around you.

00:55:11The more the energy radiates,

00:55:13the smaller the space rock.

00:55:15In the morning, the meteorite

00:55:17evaporates in the air.

00:55:19You wake up in the grass

00:55:21near your car,

00:55:23surrounded by several people.

00:55:25They are the employees of the reserve

00:55:27and the agents in dark suits.

00:55:29They study the crater in the ground

00:55:31and ask you what happened.

00:55:33You tell them about the meteorite

00:55:35and they tell you to follow them.

00:55:37One of them grabs you tightly by the shoulders.

00:55:39You don't like it and you want to escape.

00:55:41Two agents hold you.

00:55:43You get angry and you feel

00:55:45your muscles contract

00:55:47and your nose is covered with fur.

00:55:49You quickly push back the men

00:55:51and you roar.

00:55:53Your nails have turned into claws.

00:55:55You have received the powers of a bear

00:55:57and you are as strong and ferocious.

00:55:59You flee into the forest,

00:56:01but the agents follow you.

00:56:03You want to be faster

00:56:05and you feel your spine change shape.

00:56:07You now run on all fours very fast.

00:56:09You have the power of the cheetah,

00:56:11the fastest animal on Earth.

00:56:13It's incredible!

00:56:15You can use your mind

00:56:17to acquire the powers of any animal.

00:56:19You hide in the forest.

00:56:21The agents are far behind you.

00:56:23You hear a helicopter in the sky.

00:56:25They project a beam of light.

00:56:27Ouch! They noticed you!

00:56:29The agents use a megaphone

00:56:31to ask you to stop.

00:56:33But you know what awaits you.

00:56:35Laboratories, experiments,

00:56:37life in a cage.

00:56:39You've seen a lot of movies about it,

00:56:41so you won't give up.

00:56:43You run out of the forest.

00:56:45They shoot arrows at you.

00:56:47You quickly go to a large lake

00:56:49and dive into it.

00:56:51Branches form on your neck.

00:56:53It's so good to make water flow through it.

00:56:55Palms have grown on your arms

00:56:57and your legs.

00:56:59Your feet are like fins.

00:57:01Your legs fuse to form a long tail

00:57:03and you are now a morse.

00:57:05You quickly cross the lake while swimming

00:57:07and land on the other side of the shore.

00:57:09Several cars and motorcycles

00:57:11go around the lake to catch you.

00:57:13There is another forest in front of you,

00:57:15but this time it is too dense.

00:57:17There is no space to run fast,

00:57:19but you can have the strength of a monkey.

00:57:21Your hands lengthen

00:57:23and your fingers become stronger.

00:57:25You jump on a tree,

00:57:27you climb to the top

00:57:29and you scan the reserve with your eyes.

00:57:31You have to go south

00:57:33and reach a small town to recover.

00:57:35After a few hours,

00:57:37you reach the limit of the reserve.

00:57:39You can jump over a high fence.

00:57:41Your legs become strong.

00:57:43You jump like a kangaroo,

00:57:45but it's not high enough.

00:57:47You fall to the ground.

00:57:49The helicopter catches you.

00:57:51You acquire the powers of a lizard.

00:57:53Sticky scales grow on your palms.

00:57:55You quickly climb the concrete wall

00:57:57and jump on the other side.

00:57:59You find yourself in the tall grass.

00:58:01Agents come to you from all sides.

00:58:03You think of transforming yourself into a snake.

00:58:05Your arms and legs

00:58:07merge with your body.

00:58:09You can now crawl.

00:58:11You pass in front of all the agents

00:58:13and you find yourself on the road.

00:58:15You see a car in the distance.

00:58:17You raise your hand

00:58:19and ask it to stop.

00:58:21Oh no, it's the agent's vehicle.

00:58:23It surrounds you.

00:58:25The helicopter's projector is pointed at you.

00:58:27You have nowhere to go.

00:58:29But you can fly.

00:58:31Your clothes rip in your back.

00:58:33Huge wings grow from your shoulder blades.

00:58:35It's rather cold here,

00:58:37but the feathers on your body protect you from the wind.

00:58:39Great, you can fly!

00:58:41It's incredible, but...

00:58:43Ouch! You feel like someone pinched you from behind.

00:58:45It's an arrow.

00:58:47They got you.

00:58:49You want to sleep and you let yourself go down.

00:58:51You make a sudden landing

00:58:53near a small wooden house.

00:58:55Agents run to you.

00:58:57You acquire the powers of another animal

00:58:59and you faint.

00:59:01Agents search the house

00:59:03but they can't find you.

00:59:05Maybe the arrow with the sleeper

00:59:07didn't work on you.

00:59:09After a few minutes, they leave again.

00:59:11During this time, you sleep peacefully

00:59:13against the wall of the house.

00:59:15At the last second,

00:59:17you have acquired the powers of a chameleon.

00:59:19You have merged with the wall

00:59:21and have become invisible.

00:59:23You sleep a few more hours.

00:59:25The sun rises.

00:59:27A rusty Jeep stops in the yard.

00:59:29An old man and a dog come out.

00:59:31They look at you and start licking your face.

00:59:33The old man realizes

00:59:35that there is an invisible person in front of him.

00:59:37You regain your senses

00:59:39and you tell the old man what happened to you.

00:59:41He gives you food and clean clothes.

00:59:43You thank him

00:59:45and you leave.

00:59:47Now you have to leave the country as soon as possible.

00:59:49You think of transforming yourself

00:59:51into a bat.

00:59:53Palmed wings grow in your back

00:59:55and you have cramps.

00:59:57You fly without seeing anything.

00:59:59You know how to deteriorate,

01:00:01but your boredom is simply fantastic.

01:00:03You have the power of echolocation

01:00:05and you can emit ultrasonic waves at high frequency.

01:00:07Somewhere in the distance,

01:00:09you hear the cry of a familiar person.

01:00:11Oh no, it's the old man.

01:00:13The agents have caught him.

01:00:15You turn around

01:00:17and fly directly to the house.

01:00:19One of the agents sees you.

01:00:21He screams in terror.

01:00:23You land and transform into a rhinoceros.

01:00:25Your body becomes huge

01:00:27and your nose stretches.

01:00:29You accelerate and knock down several agents.

01:00:31Then you turn around their car,

01:00:33run into the house

01:00:35and free the old man.

01:00:37He climbs on your back

01:00:39because you are now a horse

01:00:41and you are going far from here.

01:00:43You reach the mountains.

01:00:45The old man looks tired but grateful.

01:00:47You can't share his joy

01:00:49because you don't know how it's all going to end.

01:00:51You ask the old man to hide

01:00:53while you distract the pursuers.

01:00:55You think of another animal.

01:00:57Your legs and arms turn into sabots.

01:00:59You climb on top of a cliff like a goat.

01:01:01They can't catch you.

01:01:03But at that moment,

01:01:05the helicopter reappears.

01:01:07An agent aims at you with an arrow.

01:01:09Needles grow in your back.

01:01:11You have the powers of a porcupine.

01:01:13You shoot some needles at the agent.

01:01:15This distracts him for a few minutes.

01:01:17At that moment,

01:01:19a puma jumps on you,

01:01:21out of nowhere.

01:01:23You think of a lion

01:01:25and get his powers.

01:01:27You stand on your hind legs

01:01:29and roar very loudly.

01:01:31The puma gets scared and runs away.

01:01:33The helicopter takes off.

01:01:35You accelerate, jump off the cliff

01:01:37and get the powers of the fastest bird in the world,

01:01:39the pelican hawk.

01:01:41You make a quick dive

01:01:43and land in the forest.

01:01:45You must now find the old man.

01:01:47You have a dog's muzzle.

01:01:49You can now smell your friend

01:01:51At that moment,

01:01:53you find an excellent plan to stop the agents.

01:01:55Have you ever wondered

01:01:57why all the planets were perfectly round?

01:01:59And if these celestial bodies

01:02:01decided to break all the rules

01:02:03and change shape,

01:02:05would we have square planets,

01:02:07triangular moons,

01:02:09even completely improbable intergalactic shapes?

01:02:11Well, let's find out.

01:02:13How do planets form?

01:02:15The universe is filled with clouds

01:02:17swirling with dust and gas.

01:02:19These clouds, called molecular clouds,

01:02:21are made up of various elements

01:02:23such as hydrogen, helium,

01:02:25carbon, oxygen, etc.

01:02:27They are like a cosmic kitchen

01:02:29filled with the necessary ingredients

01:02:31for the preparation of new planets.

01:02:33The first step in the recipe

01:02:35for the formation of planets

01:02:37is called the theory of accretion.

01:02:39Suppose something happens

01:02:41that causes gravitational instability.

01:02:43For example, a supernova

01:02:45explodes nearby.

01:02:47This pushes the gas and dust

01:02:49into the cloud and brings them together.

01:02:51Because of the gravity,

01:02:53these particles start to fall

01:02:55towards a central point.

01:02:57They get closer and closer

01:02:59to each other,

01:03:01like when you hold a ball in your hand.

01:03:03Finally, they are pressed so hard

01:03:05that the cloud starts to flatten

01:03:07to take the shape of a disc,

01:03:09like when you mix flour and water

01:03:11to make pizza dough.

01:03:13This disc is called a protoplanetary disc.

01:03:15It also rotates because

01:03:17the particles of the cloud

01:03:19were already rotating.

01:03:21Now imagine that these tiny particles

01:03:23of dust and gas

01:03:25dance inside the disc.

01:03:27Sometimes they bump into each other

01:03:29and in this case,

01:03:31they agglutinate like Velcro.

01:03:33These little piles of dust and gas

01:03:35are called planetesimals.

01:03:37These are the constitutive elements

01:03:39of the planets.

01:03:41As collisions and fusions occur,

01:03:43they get bigger and bigger

01:03:45and form protoplanets.

01:03:47These protoplanets get bigger

01:03:49and their gravity gets stronger.

01:03:51Some of them get so big

01:03:53that they end up becoming

01:03:55the great masters of their cosmic neighborhood.

01:03:57The planets we know and love.

01:03:59Each planet has its own gas recipe,

01:04:01rocks and sometimes even water.

01:04:03But why do planets look like spheres?

01:04:05Well, it's because of gravity.

01:04:07Let's go back to our protoplanets.

01:04:09Imagine that you compress a ball

01:04:11with your hands.

01:04:13The air inside the ball is repressed,

01:04:15which creates a pressure.

01:04:17The same thing happens with planets.

01:04:19Gravity compresses matter

01:04:21towards the inside, pulling it towards the center.

01:04:23And as gravity also acts

01:04:25in all directions,

01:04:27it attracts matter from all sides

01:04:29towards the center of mass,

01:04:31which gives it a spherical shape.

01:04:33And this matter in turn represses

01:04:35by means of pressure,

01:04:37thus resisting the force of gravity.

01:04:39In short, they both find a point of harmony

01:04:41that allows them to balance each other.

01:04:43This is what we call

01:04:45the hydrostatic balance.

01:04:47A sophisticated term that means

01:04:49that everything is in balance inside a planet.

01:04:51But that's not all.

01:04:53Another element that makes planets spherical

01:04:55is their rotation.

01:04:57Now imagine a ball of modeling clay

01:04:59and that you make it turn quickly.

01:05:01The matter begins to push

01:05:03outwards,

01:05:05which causes the modeling clay

01:05:07to expand at the equator

01:05:09and flatten at the poles.

01:05:11The same goes for planets.

01:05:13When they turn on their axis,

01:05:15the combination of gravity and rotation

01:05:17pushes the matter outwards,

01:05:19which makes the planet

01:05:21expand at the equator.

01:05:23Planets try to become disks.

01:05:25However, gravity does not want

01:05:27these planets to deflate.

01:05:29It wants them to be very round.

01:05:31So it continues to pull on the matter

01:05:33while trying to make it as compact as possible.

01:05:35Finally,

01:05:37gravity wins and the planet

01:05:39takes on a spherical shape.

01:05:41Let's take some examples in our planetary assortment.

01:05:43Jupiter, the giant of the solar system,

01:05:45loves to show its flattening.

01:05:47It turns so fast

01:05:49that it becomes visibly compressed at the poles

01:05:51and padded in the middle,

01:05:53a bit like a spinning top with a pretty bulging belly.

01:05:55Saturn now,

01:05:57the wonder of the rings,

01:05:59also joins this feast of flattening.

01:06:01It turns on itself with its magnificent rings

01:06:03and its distortion is even more pronounced

01:06:05than Jupiter's.

01:06:07This serious example shows how

01:06:09rotation can give planets a unique shape.

01:06:11It goes from a perfectly round shape

01:06:13to a certain flattening around the belt.

01:06:15It's like a cosmic pottery

01:06:17where the rotation movement

01:06:19creates this distinct shape.

01:06:21Now you know why planets are round.

01:06:23But the most interesting thing

01:06:25is to know what would happen

01:06:27if they were not flat.

01:06:29And if they were, let's say, cubic

01:06:31or even triangular.

01:06:33Let's see.

01:06:35A planet in the shape of a cube or triangle

01:06:37would see its mass distributed in a way

01:06:39totally different from that of a sphere.

01:06:41And do you know what that means?

01:06:43Gravity would also be upset by it.

01:06:45On a spherical planet,

01:06:47gravity attracts everything to the center

01:06:49because the mass is uniformly distributed

01:06:51around it.

01:06:53But when we introduce a planet in the shape of a cube or triangle,

01:06:55things become interesting.

01:06:57If you stood in the center of one of these faces,

01:06:59you would feel the strongest gravity

01:07:01on this planet.

01:07:03It's because the faces would be

01:07:05the closest to the center of gravity.

01:07:07And when you move away from the center

01:07:09to get closer to the edges,

01:07:11gravity would start to play tricks on you.

01:07:13You would feel a fight against this attraction

01:07:15at a high angle.

01:07:17By walking on these edges,

01:07:19you would have the impression of climbing a mountain

01:07:21or walking on a very steep slope.

01:07:23All this because gravity wants to see you

01:07:25stay in the center of one of the sides

01:07:27and not anywhere else.

01:07:29Now imagine the terrain on the edges and in the corners.

01:07:31It's an arid, rocky and dry landscape.

01:07:33Why?

01:07:35Because all the water would accumulate

01:07:37in the center of each face,

01:07:39leaving the edges dry.

01:07:41And the air quality?

01:07:43It is either non-existent

01:07:45or so fine that it does not allow life at all.

01:07:47It is not the most comfortable place

01:07:49where to live at home, that's for sure.

01:07:51Do not forget your warm clothes,

01:07:53your sandwich and your hiking shoes.

01:07:55You will need them because of the monsoon climate

01:07:57that reigns there.

01:07:59The type of climate you would encounter on our Earth

01:08:01in the form of cubes or triangles

01:08:03depends on the way it turns.

01:08:05If it turns on these angles,

01:08:07each side enjoys a mild and temperate climate.

01:08:09On the other hand,

01:08:11if it turns on an axis passing through two of these faces,

01:08:13things get rough.

01:08:15Imagine a Russian mountain version

01:08:17of our current climate.

01:08:19Some faces would present polar,

01:08:21icy and cold landscapes.

01:08:23The upper and lower faces of the cube

01:08:25or the lower face of the triangle.

01:08:27The other faces would be completely different.

01:08:29In a cube,

01:08:31it would be burning,

01:08:33with an equatorial climate

01:08:35that would make you sweat a lot.

01:08:37Instead of seeing the light of the sun

01:08:39slowly curve along the surface,

01:08:41it would go directly to its sides.

01:08:43This is what is called a small fire.

01:08:45On a triangular planet,

01:08:47the light of the sun would hit the opposite faces.

01:08:49This inclined solar light

01:08:51would cause fascinating temperature variations on the planet.

01:08:53Imagine this.

01:08:55By going from the base of the triangle to the tip,

01:08:57the temperatures would gradually decrease.

01:08:59The base,

01:09:01where the light of the sun hits the most directly,

01:09:03would be the hottest region.

01:09:05Just like the equatorial climate

01:09:07that we know on our spherical Earth.

01:09:09But as we venture towards the tip,

01:09:11the angle of the solar light

01:09:13would be less direct,

01:09:15which would lead to colder temperatures.

01:09:17But the base is always dark

01:09:19and cold itself,

01:09:21because the light of the sun does not reach it directly.

01:09:23The triangle would therefore present

01:09:25temperature changes

01:09:27and completely unseemly climatic zones.

01:09:29Besides, you know this

01:09:31air bubble cover called the atmosphere.

01:09:33On our angular Earth,

01:09:35things would be a little more complicated.

01:09:37Gravity would exert itself more strongly

01:09:39from the center of each face.

01:09:41As a result,

01:09:43the atmosphere would experience radical changes.

01:09:45Imagine a little,

01:09:47on each face,

01:09:49where gravity is the strongest,

01:09:51the atmosphere would gather and thicken.

01:09:53It would look like a gas megalopole,

01:09:55full of air molecules.

01:09:57But as we ventured

01:09:59towards the edges,

01:10:01things would begin to rarefy.

01:10:03The air would become much less dense

01:10:05and even rarer.

01:10:07So, breathe along the edges

01:10:09It's dark and you can't see anything.

01:10:11There's steam everywhere.

01:10:13The ground is soft and moves under your feet.

01:10:15You try to find your way

01:10:17by tapping the moving walls around you.

01:10:19After a while,

01:10:21you hear cries of pain in the distance.

01:10:23You call for help,

01:10:25but no one answers.

01:10:27You are the captain of a ship

01:10:29and you have just been devoured

01:10:31by the powerful Kraken.

01:10:33You continue to flutter

01:10:35without even knowing

01:10:37if you are going in the right direction.

01:10:39The cries are getting louder and louder.

01:10:41It's only a matter of time

01:10:43before your next step.

01:10:45A large piece of wood is thrown in front of you,

01:10:47almost making you fall.

01:10:49This piece of wood comes from the ship

01:10:51that the Kraken swallowed.

01:10:53It also swallowed all the crew.

01:10:55So, they must be somewhere

01:10:57in the belly of the beast.

01:10:59You continue to follow the cries.

01:11:01It leads you to another path

01:11:03that looks like an esophage.

01:11:05You grab a piece of wood

01:11:07and you slip along its sticky entrails.

01:11:09It's dark,

01:11:11so you take a piece of fabric from your shirt

01:11:13and wrap it around a large board.

01:11:15Then, you set it on fire.

01:11:17This fortune torch

01:11:19allows you to see where you are going

01:11:21in the smallest detail.

01:11:23You can distinguish the large veins

01:11:25that palpitate inside.

01:11:27Each vein could contain

01:11:29more than three people.

01:11:31After a while,

01:11:33you start to see more debris

01:11:35from your ship,

01:11:37including the treasures

01:11:39that are of no interest to you

01:11:41since you are looking for your crew

01:11:43in this dark and smelly interior.

01:11:45You arrive at a junction

01:11:47where there seem to be several tunnels,

01:11:49each leading to a different place.

01:11:51You know that it is impossible

01:11:53to get out through the mouth,

01:11:55so there is no other solution

01:11:57than to sink further.

01:11:59You decide to follow your instinct

01:12:01and slip into the smallest tunnel

01:12:03which is covered with drool

01:12:05and other liquids.

01:12:07You slip into the cavity

01:12:09and stay stuck for a while.

01:12:11The kraken is still swimming,

01:12:13but it suddenly seems to take a break.

01:12:15The veins and other giant blood vessels

01:12:17slow down

01:12:19and the flesh tunnel

01:12:21in which you crawl expands.

01:12:23Before even realizing it,

01:12:25you dribble along this well

01:12:27until you reach a pool filled with liquids.

01:12:29The second you dive in,

01:12:31you start to feel the acid

01:12:33burn your clothes.

01:12:35This is the stomach of the kraken.

01:12:37You take off your shirt

01:12:39and paddle on a board

01:12:41to cross this lake of acid.

01:12:43You can see other pieces

01:12:45of your ship scattered all over.

01:12:47Suddenly, the kraken starts moving

01:12:49and starts swimming very fast.

01:12:51You have no choice

01:12:53but to cling to the board

01:12:55and keep yourself afloat

01:12:57while protecting your eyes from the acid.

01:12:59You close them.

01:13:01You are now projected further into the stomach,

01:13:03where the acid is even more corrosive

01:13:05and melts everything that is there.

01:13:07The smell is atrocious

01:13:09and you can't find a way to leave.

01:13:11But in the distance,

01:13:13you see some members of your crew

01:13:15fall on a small island

01:13:17in the middle of the stomach.

01:13:19You see some sharks swimming around

01:13:21that have not yet been digested.

01:13:23There is nothing you can do for the moment

01:13:25except to take a break

01:13:27and reach your crew.

01:13:29You climb on another piece of wood

01:13:31This time, the gastric acid

01:13:33attacks the wood.

01:13:35Fortunately, a member of your crew

01:13:37throws another board at you,

01:13:39so you jump on it and paddle to them.

01:13:41You climb on the shore.

01:13:43Everyone is happy to see you.

01:13:45You try to find a way to escape,

01:13:47but the exits are all full of acid.

01:13:49More water infiltrates

01:13:51as well as many marine creatures.

01:13:53The acid keeps rising

01:13:55and everyone shrinks while shaking.

01:13:57At some point,

01:13:59the Kraken swallows a large humpback whale

01:14:01that is struggling in the acid water.

01:14:03This annoys the Kraken,

01:14:05which starts to shake,

01:14:07swallowing everyone.

01:14:09You, as well as many others,

01:14:11land on the whale

01:14:13and you cramp firmly.

01:14:15It looks like the Kraken

01:14:17wants to expel you from this whale

01:14:19one way or another.

01:14:21The internal walls of the stomach contract

01:14:23until they are narrow enough

01:14:25to evacuate the cetacean.

01:14:27Finally, the Kraken

01:14:29swallows the whale

01:14:31and swims to the bottom of the ocean.

01:14:33Your new challenge is to swim

01:14:35to the surface to breathe.

01:14:37The whale pushes you and everyone else

01:14:39up. Without it,

01:14:41no one would have been able to go back

01:14:43to the surface to breathe in time.

01:14:45You don't know where you are.

01:14:47Some of your crew members

01:14:49cling to debris from your ship

01:14:51to stay afloat.

01:14:53You swim to one of them

01:14:55and there is nothing to see.

01:14:57The crew is hungry and cold.

01:14:59And the worst part?

01:15:01It's time for the sharks to hunt their dinner.

01:15:03Everyone climbs on their boards

01:15:05to stay out of the water.

01:15:07In a blink of an eye,

01:15:09shark fins start to emerge from everywhere.

01:15:11There is nothing to do

01:15:13except try to survive at night.

01:15:15The next day comes.

01:15:17No one has managed to sleep.

01:15:19Everyone decides to fix all the boards together

01:15:21and row towards the sun.

01:15:23While everyone discusses the next step,

01:15:25the whole crew waits for your last word.

01:15:27The sun is burning

01:15:29and everyone is exhausted.

01:15:31There is no fresh water to drink either.

01:15:33No one has the means to fish

01:15:35to feed you.

01:15:37And the threat of sharks and Kraken

01:15:39still plagues you.

01:15:41One of your crew members

01:15:43sees something in the distance that seems to be an island.

01:15:45Everyone rejoices,

01:15:47holds each other's arms and paddles in their direction.

01:15:49After a few hours,

01:15:51you arrive on the island and dip your hands in the hot sand.

01:15:53Some run everywhere,

01:15:55while others kiss the ground

01:15:57and the palm trees.

01:15:59But for one reason or another,

01:16:01it seems that something is wrong.

01:16:03Birds are flying around you.

01:16:05They don't seem to be afraid of you.

01:16:07Everyone heads to the center of the island

01:16:09to find out if someone lives there.

01:16:11A small campfire is in the middle of the woods,

01:16:13but there is no other sign of life around.

01:16:15This island is too small

01:16:17to have residents.

01:16:19There seems to be no sign

01:16:21that someone has ever visited it,

01:16:23except for this campfire.

01:16:25After a while, the island starts to move.

01:16:27Everyone climbs a tree

01:16:29and the water covers the island entirely.

01:16:31In the distance, you see a large silhouette

01:16:33emerge from the water and turn towards you.

01:16:35It's a giant sea turtle.

01:16:37During all this time,

01:16:39you find yourself on the back of a gigantic turtle.

01:16:41It graciously moves in the waves

01:16:43and stops after a few hours.

01:16:45The crew members build cabins

01:16:47and light a fire

01:16:49to cook a little food

01:16:51and sleep comfortably.

01:16:53You admire the night sky in the distance

01:16:55and the stars that fill the horizon.

01:16:57You climb the highest tree

01:16:59to find a little calm and rest.

01:17:01In the distance, you see the kraken

01:17:03swimming and approaching the turtle.

01:17:05But compared to it,

01:17:07it is only the size of a shoe.

01:17:09The next day, you walk around

01:17:11and explore the rest of Turtle Island.

01:17:13Unique creatures

01:17:15have lived here before.

01:17:17Birds, among the most exotic,

01:17:19fly in all directions

01:17:21and the animals don't seem to be afraid of you.

01:17:23You reach the top of the mountain

01:17:25covered with trees and lianas

01:17:27to have a good view of the whole island.

01:17:29The whole panorama is offered to you

01:17:31and you discover that there is a huge hole

01:17:33in the ground just below.

01:17:35You notice what seem to be

01:17:37excavation tools left by other explorers.

01:17:39You gather your crew

01:17:41and rush to the hole.

01:17:43You have to make your way through the lianas

01:17:45and climb a difficult terrain

01:17:47to get there.

01:17:49The main question is

01:17:51where does this hole lead

01:17:53if the base of this island is a giant turtle shell?

01:17:55You explore the site

01:17:57and see many tools and abandoned plans.

01:17:59You grab a map

01:18:01and see a mark in the shape of an X

01:18:03that indicates a treasure beyond any imagination.

01:18:05You gather your crew.

01:18:07Everyone picks up part of the equipment.

01:18:09Another frightening question

01:18:11is to know

01:18:13why they abandoned all this equipment.

01:18:15You study the plans.

01:18:17They indicate all the steps to follow

01:18:19except the last one

01:18:21that no one seems to have understood.

01:18:23After a while, you go down the hole

01:18:25and go to the bottom.

01:18:27But what you discover there

01:18:29is even more shocking

01:18:31than all that you expected.

01:18:33You wake up with pizza boxes

01:18:35stacked on top of each other.

01:18:37You stretch your right arm

01:18:39with the sticky noodles you ate last night.

01:18:41Your leg splinters

01:18:43on last week's chocolate cake

01:18:45and stains your mattress.

01:18:47There are papers,

01:18:49clothes, books,

01:18:51cardboard boxes with food

01:18:53still in them

01:18:55and other disgusting waste

01:18:57everywhere on your big bed.

01:18:59You are too lazy

01:19:01to get out of bed

01:19:03but you still have to go to work.

01:19:05You push all this waste

01:19:07on the floor.

01:19:09There are plastic bottles,

01:19:11other food waste,

01:19:13clothes, dirty dishes

01:19:15and animal hairs on the floor.

01:19:17It's sticky

01:19:19and covers every square centimeter

01:19:21to the point where you feel like

01:19:23you're walking on lava.

01:19:25You fix the dirty window,

01:19:27look in the mirror

01:19:29and you throw up.

01:19:31It's not the roof you imagined

01:19:33a year ago.

01:19:35The sun is shining

01:19:37and you've just bought your new house.

01:19:39It's a nice place

01:19:41outside the city

01:19:43in a nice little neighborhood

01:19:45surrounded by wood and flowery gardens.

01:19:47Your neighbors come

01:19:49to greet you when you arrive

01:19:51in the alley.

01:19:53They bring home-made dishes

01:19:55and delicious desserts

01:19:57to welcome you in the neighborhood.

01:19:59You accept them with joy

01:20:01and you go inside your new house.

01:20:03During the week,

01:20:05you unpack your things

01:20:07and you tidy up your furniture.

01:20:09You also just got a new job

01:20:11that allowed you to pay for this house.

01:20:13You get up every day at 6

01:20:15and you go home at 10.

01:20:17This new job pays you well

01:20:19but you don't have time

01:20:21for yourself

01:20:23or to tidy up your house.

01:20:25During the following months,

01:20:27you start ordering food every night

01:20:29and bringing the leftovers to work.

01:20:31You haven't changed your bed sheets

01:20:33since you arrived

01:20:35and you haven't vacuumed the floor

01:20:37since you've been living here.

01:20:39The smell inside is getting stronger

01:20:41because you don't take out the trash

01:20:43and you don't open the windows

01:20:45to ventilate the house.

01:20:47You also gave up

01:20:49tidying up your dirty laundry.

01:20:51You don't have clean clothes anymore

01:20:53so you reuse the same clothes

01:20:55for work

01:20:57but they are covered with food stains.

01:20:59The bathroom doesn't really

01:21:01make you want to go there.

01:21:03The water flows

01:21:05and overflows on the floor

01:21:07which makes the interior humid.

01:21:09As the sunlight doesn't penetrate,

01:21:11mold develops at full speed

01:21:13giving a home

01:21:15full of bacteria and parasites.

01:21:17It's not surprising

01:21:19that you get sick every month.

01:21:21So much work made you lose

01:21:23sight of your house

01:21:25and affected your office performance.

01:21:29You've already received several warnings

01:21:31and you've been told to take care of yourself

01:21:33and to buy new clothes

01:21:35or to wash what you have.

01:21:37But the more clothes you buy,

01:21:39the more piles of dirty clothes

01:21:41appear all over the house.

01:21:43There's no place to sleep anymore.

01:21:45Your bed is a mountain of trash

01:21:47and your sofa is home to boxes

01:21:49you haven't even unpacked

01:21:51since you moved in.

01:21:53You order a sleeping bag

01:21:55and you settle in the dirty kitchen.

01:21:59The cockroaches crawl on every inch

01:22:01of the kitchen floor,

01:22:03the counter and every corner.

01:22:05The rats have cleared most of the wooden furniture

01:22:07and created a network of underground tunnels

01:22:09that allow them to access

01:22:11all the rooms in the house.

01:22:15You hear their little claws

01:22:17tapping on the tiles

01:22:19every time they pass in front of your ear.

01:22:21You try to sleep,

01:22:23but the dishes in the sink are so stacked

01:22:25that the dripping tap makes water flow

01:22:27and the glasses.

01:22:29And as soon as the tap flushes,

01:22:33you pick up your sleeping bag

01:22:35and you put it on the floor.

01:22:37The smell is unbearable.

01:22:39There's moss growing in every corner

01:22:41and even a small puddle of stagnant water

01:22:43that crumbles and serves as a shelter

01:22:45for mosquitos, bacteria and other worms.

01:22:49The rats and mice

01:22:51use this little pool

01:22:53as a bathing place

01:22:55and it's clean after a long day

01:22:57spent eating your food

01:22:59and creating tunnels.

01:23:01There are thousands of rats

01:23:03in every corner,

01:23:05but with time,

01:23:07let's say they don't bother you anymore.

01:23:09You see baby rat nests

01:23:11in the dark corners.

01:23:13The wooden walls are collapsing,

01:23:15rusted by termites and mold.

01:23:17You wake up the next day

01:23:19with rat prints all over your body

01:23:21and you go to work.

01:23:23But you get put at the door

01:23:25and you're sent home to wash yourself.

01:23:27You try to take a shower,

01:23:29but the pipes are clogged

01:23:31and only a few drops of dirty water

01:23:33land on your body.

01:23:35You go to the garden

01:23:37where there's a plot of land

01:23:39where you had to build a pool,

01:23:41but you didn't have time to do it.

01:23:45You put your sleeping bag on the ground

01:23:47and you try to find the water pipe

01:23:49to clean yourself.

01:23:51But the rats have cleaned the plastic

01:23:53and it can't clean properly.

01:23:55Anyway, you rinse yourself with water

01:23:57and you try to dry yourself

01:23:59with trash bags

01:24:01because you can't find the towels

01:24:03in this shit.

01:24:05You go back inside

01:24:07to watch TV,

01:24:09which surprisingly still works.

01:24:11You leave some space on your couch

01:24:13and you order a pizza.

01:24:15You have a pile of pizza boxes

01:24:17stacked on top of each other

01:24:19and you put your legs on top of them.

01:24:21The pressure and weight of your legs

01:24:23make the insects

01:24:25that eat the leftover crust and cheese

01:24:27run away.

01:24:31You ring the doorbell

01:24:33and you get up to answer.

01:24:35The delivery man is already in his car

01:24:37and moves away from the smell.

01:24:39They all know you now.

01:24:41It's a good thing you're paid online.

01:24:43You go back to watch your movie

01:24:45while you see other animals

01:24:48The hours go by

01:24:50and you realize you have to get up early

01:24:52to go to work.

01:24:54You make some space to sleep

01:24:56but you scratch your head

01:24:58on a pointy object hanging on the couch.

01:25:00Months go by.

01:25:02The neighbors stop talking to you

01:25:04or even completely ignore you.

01:25:06They avoid you as soon as you leave your house.

01:25:08Most of the time,

01:25:10they make comments on your house.

01:25:12All the parasites that come from your house

01:25:14spread in the neighborhood.

01:25:18Harmless cars

01:25:20come and go in the neighborhood

01:25:22and visit a new house every day.

01:25:24Flies and insects

01:25:26have colonized your house

01:25:28to the point where it's impossible

01:25:30to walk around without flies all over your face.

01:25:34Everyone in the neighborhood

01:25:36knows your house is the source of the infestation.

01:25:40Several months go by

01:25:42and your house is unrecognizable.

01:25:44It's impossible to see the floor

01:25:46because the walls are covered in scratches.

01:25:48Rats have taken over

01:25:50and gnaw at almost everything.

01:25:54They have become your new friends

01:25:56when you eat

01:25:58and even finish leftovers for you.

01:26:00The basement is completely flooded

01:26:02and the water flows down to the main street.

01:26:04Other creatures have found refuge at your house,

01:26:06including stray cats and dogs,

01:26:08raccoons,

01:26:10opossums and even bats.

01:26:12You have broken glass

01:26:14on the floor because of broken light bulbs

01:26:16and your mattress is full of holes.

01:26:18You wake up with pizza boxes

01:26:20piled up on you

01:26:22and you look at yourself in the mirror.

01:26:26It's the first anniversary of your arrival

01:26:28and it's not the life you imagined.

01:26:30Through the window,

01:26:32you see your neighbors selling their house.

01:26:34Some have already left,

01:26:36including the one who welcomed you

01:26:38when you moved in.

01:26:40You turn around

01:26:42and as if it were the first time,

01:26:44you finally see that your house is in disarray.

01:26:46You spot a picture of you

01:26:48hanging on the wall.

01:26:50You installed it there when you moved in.

01:26:52You decide to repair your house

01:26:54and clean everything.

01:26:58You know it will take weeks

01:27:00or even months,

01:27:02but you drop the work and start tidying up your room.

01:27:04You take whole boxes of garbage bags

01:27:06and you start putting the garbage in them.

01:27:08You buy three new vacuum cleaners

01:27:10and you start picking up all the dust

01:27:12and debris that has accumulated

01:27:14over the year that has just passed.

01:27:16After a few hours,

01:27:18you have more than 20 garbage bags

01:27:20in front of your house

01:27:22waiting to be picked up.

01:27:24You will have to clean the floor

01:27:26and throw the broken furniture.

01:27:28After two months of hard work,

01:27:30you manage to get rid

01:27:32of all the garbage you can find.

01:27:36You still need a week

01:27:38to clean the floor and walls

01:27:40and order new furniture

01:27:42to replace the broken and rusted ones.

01:27:44The biggest challenge is to get rid

01:27:46of the remaining parasites

01:27:48and solve the problem of water in the basement.

01:27:50After a few strokes,

01:27:52you call professionals

01:27:54to repair the water

01:27:56and get rid of the vermin.

01:27:58It takes you a total of four months

01:28:00to transform your house

01:28:02into a cool place like the mint

01:28:04where it is good to live.

01:28:06And you get to know

01:28:08your new neighbors

01:28:10who have already heard

01:28:12about you.

01:28:14Yes, and you have bread on the table,

01:28:16don't you?

01:28:18Everything is ready.

01:28:20You are under the spotlights

01:28:22and everyone is looking at you.

01:28:24The lights are reflected on the piano.

01:28:26You put your hands on the keys

01:28:28and you start playing.

01:28:30Since you have 20 fingers per hand,

01:28:32you can play many notes at the same time

01:28:34Each chord is enriched

01:28:36and embellished with more notes

01:28:38thanks to your 40 fingers.

01:28:40At the end of the recital,

01:28:42everyone gets up and applauds you.

01:28:44The applause is intense

01:28:46because the palms of all these people's hands

01:28:48are huge to hold their 20 fingers.

01:28:50You are now on a boat

01:28:52in the middle of a lake, ready to dive.

01:28:54Your friend convinces you to race

01:28:56to the shore.

01:28:58With your 20 fingers on each hand

01:29:00and on each foot, you swim like fish.

01:29:02These are real natural governance.

01:29:04You win the race,

01:29:06then you go back to the boat

01:29:08paddling with your hands and feet.

01:29:10After the swim,

01:29:12you go hiking.

01:29:14You find yourself in front of a beautiful

01:29:16climbing wall.

01:29:18You get ready and you place each palm

01:29:20on the stones in front of you.

01:29:22You have a good grip

01:29:24because you can hold on to stones

01:29:26that people with 10 fingers

01:29:28could never use to climb.

01:29:30And admire the view.

01:29:32A well-dressed suit

01:29:34and a confident smile.

01:29:36You will manage your interview.

01:29:38You enter the building

01:29:40as if you were the boss

01:29:42and you wait for someone to accompany you

01:29:44at the director's.

01:29:46Everyone notices your impeccable look

01:29:48and your confident attitude.

01:29:50You are made to enter,

01:29:52you show your most disarming smile

01:29:54and you adjust your jacket.

01:29:56You enter the room

01:29:58as if you were the boss.

01:30:00He wants to know more about you.

01:30:02You leave the building.

01:30:04You are radiant and convinced

01:30:06that you made a good impression.

01:30:08You are right,

01:30:10because he calls you back

01:30:12shortly after for a second interview.

01:30:14Ok, you manage.

01:30:1620 racing bags in your trunk

01:30:18and only one possible route.

01:30:20The path is long, full of turns

01:30:22and slopes.

01:30:24You stretch your fingers

01:30:26With your 20 fingers,

01:30:28you manage to take several bags.

01:30:3010 per hand.

01:30:32It's heavy, but good.

01:30:34It's a bit like if you were at the gym.

01:30:36You take the bags out of your trunk

01:30:38and you quickly cross the road

01:30:40to your home.

01:30:42Bravo! In one trip,

01:30:44you managed to transport all your races

01:30:46except one bag.

01:30:48Oh no, as much for me.

01:30:50You had put a bag in another bag.

01:30:52But you still have to go back to the car

01:30:54to get your trunk back.

01:30:56After a long day at work,

01:30:58you meet a friend you haven't seen

01:31:00for a long time.

01:31:02Your day was really hard.

01:31:04You spot a manicure salon on the road

01:31:06and you stop for a quick care.

01:31:08But with 20 fingers per hand,

01:31:10it takes twice as long.

01:31:12Time goes by

01:31:14and you only have one hand.

01:31:16Your friend calls you to tell you

01:31:18she's waiting for you at the café.

01:31:20You go to the next hand.

01:31:22You rush to the café to meet your friend.

01:31:24You're late, but at least

01:31:26you have the class.

01:31:28You go to a salon about new technologies.

01:31:30Dozens of people present

01:31:32their new products.

01:31:34Many phones are bigger than

01:31:36phones for people with ten fingers and two hands.

01:31:38They look more like mini tablets.

01:31:40You take a phone

01:31:42and you test it.

01:31:44With your four fingers,

01:31:46you tap super quickly on the keyboard.

01:31:48The screen is big enough

01:31:50for the rest of your fingers.

01:31:52You go to the computer

01:31:54and you notice an interesting idea.

01:31:56A portable computer

01:31:58with a very large keyboard

01:32:00so you can type easily.

01:32:02You open a new document

01:32:04and you start writing.

01:32:06You're surprised by the comfort of writing.

01:32:08Too bad you have to wait

01:32:10for the product to be launched

01:32:12on the market

01:32:14to be able to get it.

01:32:16You're warming up in the gym.

01:32:18You're getting ready

01:32:20for your next exercise.

01:32:22You get on the ring

01:32:24and you train on a punching bag.

01:32:26With your 20 fingers per hand,

01:32:28each punch is stronger than a classic punch.

01:32:30You stretch after each punch

01:32:32and you continue your training.

01:32:34You move on to the next exercise

01:32:36to prepare for the big day.

01:32:38Here you are in the forest

01:32:40and you train archery.

01:32:42You place two cans side by side

01:32:44and then two other cans on top.

01:32:46You take your bow

01:32:48and you shoot it

01:32:50using the ten fingers of each hand.

01:32:52You place two arrows carefully

01:32:54and you release.

01:32:56You easily touch the cans.

01:32:58Now you increase the difficulty

01:33:00and you place the four cans side by side.

01:33:02You turn your bow horizontally

01:33:04and you shoot

01:33:06until the tension is sufficient.

01:33:08You release

01:33:10and the arrows go.

01:33:12It's a win again.

01:33:14You touch the four cans

01:33:16without making any effort.

01:33:18Since you have 20 fingers per hand,

01:33:20you need at least

01:33:227 or 8 targets side by side.

01:33:24You use a long bow

01:33:26but it won't be easy to aim.

01:33:28You focus,

01:33:30you release your arrows

01:33:32and you shoot right in the miles.

01:33:34If you had 50 fingers per hand,

01:33:36your way of walking and your appearance

01:33:38would be all the more altered.

01:33:40Your hands would be so heavy

01:33:42that you would need very muscular arms

01:33:44to maintain your balance

01:33:46and support your fingers.

01:33:48Everything would be bigger,

01:33:50including your phone and your computer.

01:33:52The neck of the guitars would be adapted.

01:33:54There are 6 strings on a normal guitar

01:33:56but on these mega guitars

01:33:58there would be at least 30 or even 40 strings.

01:34:00Music would no longer be limited

01:34:02by human physical characteristics.

01:34:04All instruments should be adapted

01:34:06to these 50 fingers per hand

01:34:08like trumpets,

01:34:10pianos,

01:34:12harps and saxophones.

01:34:14A trio would be like an orchestra

01:34:16and an orchestra would be like

01:34:185 orchestras.

01:34:22You would be at home

01:34:24playing video games

01:34:26with a friend.

01:34:28Each controller is the size

01:34:30of a low table.

01:34:32It's not a hand with 50 fingers,

01:34:34so the controllers have supports.

01:34:36There are so many buttons

01:34:38and keys that you lose yourself

01:34:40just by looking at them.

01:34:42You play a football game

01:34:44by controlling each player individually.

01:34:46With such ability of movement

01:34:48and coordination for a total

01:34:50of 100 fingers,

01:34:52your brain is bigger than the average

01:34:54and you are perfectly multitasking.

01:34:56You beat your friend.

01:34:58He wins the rematch.

01:35:00In the third match,

01:35:02you are tied.

01:35:04You hit each other in the hands.

01:35:06The impact of 50-finger hands

01:35:08produces sound waves

01:35:10reaching your neighbor.

01:35:12Having a lot of fingers on your hands

01:35:14means that the tangible and ergonomic objects

01:35:16should be much bigger

01:35:18than the average.

01:35:20It would be very tiring

01:35:22to go to a jeweler

01:35:24because you should find a ring

01:35:26that can fit any of the 50 fingers

01:35:28you have on each hand.

01:35:30The glove industry would weigh billions

01:35:32since the manufacture of a single glove

01:35:34Drawing with a normal pen

01:35:36would become really complicated.

01:35:38All pens and stationery

01:35:40would be ten times bigger

01:35:42than what exists today

01:35:44and would cost much more.

01:35:46The glasses would be bigger

01:35:48or wider

01:35:50so that you can grab them correctly.

01:35:52Your hand would be much bigger

01:35:54and your fingers would extend

01:35:56all around the palm

01:35:58like sunflower petals.

01:36:00If you were hot,

01:36:02your fingers would cool you down.

01:36:04It would also be easier

01:36:06to catch sand

01:36:08to make a sand castle.

01:36:10With such big hands

01:36:12you could create sand balls

01:36:14and build a mega castle

01:36:16super fast.

01:36:18And if you were doing a snowball battle

01:36:20you would have to prepare

01:36:22to receive cannonballs

01:36:24instead of normal snowballs.

01:36:26Staying for a long time

01:36:28in water at 15°C

01:36:30But water at 10°C

01:36:32is a real nightmare.

01:36:34It seems much colder

01:36:36than air at the same temperature.

01:36:38The passengers of the Titanic

01:36:40were in water at less than 2°C.

01:36:42Can you imagine how cold it was?

01:36:44Even the iceberg

01:36:46that the Titanic hit

01:36:48was warmer.

01:36:50The water did not freeze

01:36:52because of its strong salt content.

01:36:54But what would have happened

01:36:56if the temperature had been higher

01:36:58at 49°C?

01:37:00In theory, it could have happened

01:37:02if the waters of the North Atlantic

01:37:04had met a hot sub-current

01:37:06coming from the southern part of the ocean

01:37:08on the day of the disaster.

01:37:10But this heat would not have been enough.

01:37:12The ocean area is too vast

01:37:14and the temperature is too low at night.

01:37:16The hot sub-current alone

01:37:18would not have made a difference

01:37:20for the people in the water.

01:37:22But if the Titanic had sunk

01:37:24at another place at a specific time

01:37:26it could have been saved

01:37:28thanks to an incredible natural phenomenon.

01:37:30And now,

01:37:32everyone on board,

01:37:34our journey in a parallel universe begins.

01:37:36It's a moonless night

01:37:38from April 14th to 15th.

01:37:40The Titanic hits an iceberg.

01:37:42The icy water floods the lower decks.

01:37:44The captain sends a distress signal.

01:37:46The closest ship,

01:37:48the Carpathia,

01:37:50is 93 km from the Titanic

01:37:52and is sinking.

01:37:54The Carpathia will arrive in 4 hours.

01:37:56It's quite long,

01:37:58even in warm tropical waters

01:38:00since your body loses heat anyway.

01:38:02The Titanic begins to sink.

01:38:04The crew descends the lifeboats.

01:38:06Some of the passengers jump overboard.

01:38:08The ship is sinking.

01:38:10There are no more lifeboats,

01:38:12so you jump with the other passengers.

01:38:14You feel like you've entered

01:38:16a huge iceberg.

01:38:18The water is so cold

01:38:20that it's hard for you to move.

01:38:22You can't even scream

01:38:24because there's no air in your lungs.

01:38:26But at that moment,

01:38:28you feel a pleasant warmth coming from the depths.

01:38:30The warmth rises above your knees

01:38:32and your waist,

01:38:34then reaches your neck.

01:38:36Finally, you regain control of your muscles

01:38:38and you can breathe deeply.

01:38:40You notice that all the other passengers

01:38:42feel the same warmth.

01:38:44The water warms up.

01:38:46It makes you happy.

01:38:48But in an instant,

01:38:50the ocean begins to sink.

01:38:52And not because of the high temperature,

01:38:54but because something rises

01:38:56from the bottom of the ocean.

01:38:58You hear a heavy and deep sound

01:39:00coming from the depths.

01:39:02It's not the Titanic sinking,

01:39:04but something bigger.

01:39:06You can see a huge iceberg nearby.

01:39:08It's melting

01:39:10and a huge piece comes off.

01:39:12A million bubbles appear on the surface.

01:39:14Then you feel something hit your leg.

01:39:16Thousands of strangely light rocks

01:39:18rise from below.

01:39:20There are also massive plates among them.

01:39:22People use them as rescue rafts.

01:39:24You climb one of these rocks

01:39:26and look at the iceberg.

01:39:28It doesn't sink anymore

01:39:30because all the water boils

01:39:32and pushes it up now.

01:39:34You grab one of the stones

01:39:36and you understand everything.

01:39:38It's sandstone.

01:39:40An underwater volcano has awakened

01:39:42just below the ship.

01:39:44Thousands of tons of volcanic rocks

01:39:46When it erupts,

01:39:48its magma shakes the whole space,

01:39:50warms up the water

01:39:52and destroys the seabed.

01:39:54But it doesn't cause any destruction

01:39:56on the surface.

01:39:58The enormous pressure of hundreds of millions

01:40:00of liters of water

01:40:02cancels the power of the volcano.

01:40:04The molten rocks of the crust

01:40:06are pressed against the seabed

01:40:08and the sandstone rises to the surface.

01:40:10Here's why this happens.

01:40:12The upper part of the Earth

01:40:14is made up of many solid parts,

01:40:16the tectonic plates.

01:40:18These plates collide with each other

01:40:20and divide.

01:40:22When one part separates from the other,

01:40:24the magma rises immediately

01:40:26and each volcano is one of its unstable sites.

01:40:28If the Titanic had sailed

01:40:30above one of these areas

01:40:32during an eruption,

01:40:34many passengers would have been saved.

01:40:36Back in our parallel universe,

01:40:38you notice that the Titanic

01:40:40is starting to sink again.

01:40:42There are no more bubbles.

01:40:44The volcano has gone out.

01:40:46In a few seconds,

01:40:48the ocean becomes glacial again.

01:40:50Fortunately, you have your lifeboat

01:40:52made of sandstone.

01:40:54That's enough to wait for the rescuers.

01:40:56But let's imagine a situation

01:40:58without an underwater volcano

01:41:00and without icebergs.

01:41:02A situation where the water

01:41:04was warm from the start.

01:41:06One of the turbines

01:41:08in the ship's engine compartment

01:41:10and there is now a crack

01:41:12in the ship's body.

01:41:14The water fills the lower decks.

01:41:16The ship sinks.

01:41:18The passengers are evacuated

01:41:20on lifeboats.

01:41:22There is less panic

01:41:24because the night is warm

01:41:26and no one is cold.

01:41:28Each passenger receives a life vest.

01:41:30The ship breaks.

01:41:32You understand that you have to jump.

01:41:34The Titanic sinks.

01:41:36Many passengers fall overboard, horrified.

01:41:38Panic and total chaos

01:41:40take over immediately.

01:41:42The ship disappears into the darkness

01:41:44and finally everything is silent.

01:41:46A few minutes pass

01:41:48and you notice that the panic is over.

01:41:50The water is warm.

01:41:52Almost all passengers have life vests.

01:41:54Someone floats on some boards

01:41:56from the boat.

01:41:58After a few hours,

01:42:00the water no longer seems as comfortable.

01:42:02The ocean absorbs the heat of your body.

01:42:04To warm up,

01:42:06a tight circle is formed.

01:42:08It is now quite possible

01:42:10to wait two more hours for the rescuers to arrive.

01:42:12The people on the lifeboats

01:42:14approach and take on board

01:42:16those who are cold.

01:42:18The passengers get up.

01:42:2020 minutes in the water,

01:42:22then 20 minutes in a canoe.

01:42:24It is essential

01:42:26not to take off your clothes.

01:42:28Even a wet outfit helps

01:42:30to keep your body warm longer.

01:42:32And when it seems that everyone is saved,

01:42:34you can't help but smile.

01:42:36She trembles with fear and points her finger

01:42:38towards the black water.

01:42:40The passengers try to see what is there

01:42:42and notice a triangular ring.

01:42:44One, two, three,

01:42:46there are so many!

01:42:48The sound of the sinking boat

01:42:50has attracted a bunch of sharks.

01:42:52And now they turn around the survivors

01:42:54in the hope of satisfying their hunger.

01:42:56They swim slowly.

01:42:58It looks like they are not going to attack.

01:43:00But you have to keep your eyes open

01:43:02for the most aggressive

01:43:04and dangerous sharks in the world.

01:43:06They are Bulldog sharks.

01:43:08They can be agile, fast and unpredictable.

01:43:10They do not swim in the cold waters

01:43:12of the Atlantic,

01:43:14but the water of this parallel universe

01:43:16is perfect for them.

01:43:18The sharks are strong and robust.

01:43:20They create the illusion of slowness

01:43:22to deceive their prey.

01:43:24They are called Bulldog sharks

01:43:26because of their short and fuzzy muzzle

01:43:28like that of one of their dogs.

01:43:30They attack the sharks with their foreheads.

01:43:32Several of them take the canoes.

01:43:34Someone falls into the water.

01:43:36Fortunately, others help him to get back on board.

01:43:38The sharks do not retreat.

01:43:40The chaos and panic resume.

01:43:42People shout and slam the water

01:43:44with chopsticks to make the fish escape.

01:43:46But it is useless.

01:43:48One of the sharks opens his mouth

01:43:50with his teeth and clings to a canoe.

01:43:52At this moment,

01:43:54you notice other whales nearby.

01:43:56A group of large white sharks

01:43:58arrive at the party.

01:44:00They are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

01:44:02They are big, fast and strong

01:44:04and their 300 triangular teeth

01:44:06aligned on several rows

01:44:08are sharp as razor blades.

01:44:10The large white sharks swim around the canoes

01:44:12and make the Bulldog sharks flee.

01:44:14You fall from a canoe

01:44:16and you see a large whale approaching you.

01:44:18Fear awakens the survival instinct

01:44:20that sleeps in you.

01:44:22You do your best to swim as far as possible from the shark.

01:44:24Of course, it is useless

01:44:26but it is much faster

01:44:28and will catch you for sure.

01:44:30You feel your foot touching the shark's nose.

01:44:32The other foot enters his mouth.

01:44:34You scream in horror.

01:44:36After a second, the shark lets you go.

01:44:38Large white sharks

01:44:40rarely attack people.

01:44:42If they bite you, it's just to taste you.

01:44:44After all, the favorite prey of the shark

01:44:46is the seal.

01:44:48They are simply disinterested in you

01:44:50if they realize that you are not a seal.

01:44:52But if the shark is hungry,

01:44:54the prey you hate is of no importance to it.

01:44:56Fortunately for you,

01:44:58it is not.

01:45:00The survivors in the canoes

01:45:02have almost nothing to fear either.

01:45:04The large white sharks do not attack them.

01:45:06They can slightly push the canoes

01:45:08but only to test them.

01:45:10The large white shark moves away from you while swimming.

01:45:12But a Bulldog shark reappears

01:45:14and it looks like it's hungry.

01:45:16It swims towards you, opens its mouth and ...

01:45:18A strong horn of a retentive ship.

01:45:20It is the RMS Carpathia

01:45:22which has arrived to the rescue.

01:45:24All the sharks are retreating, frightened.

01:45:26All passengers are saved.

01:45:28In fact, back in our reality,

01:45:30another ship that was nearby

01:45:32could have saved the passengers

01:45:34much earlier.

01:45:36But that's another story.

01:45:38The dishes on the tables of the dining room

01:45:40of the cruise ship

01:45:42seem to have just been prepared.

01:45:44It looks like everyone has just left.

01:45:46You panic and rush outside

01:45:48on the main bridge.

01:45:50People and sandals hang everywhere.

01:45:52But there is no one.

01:45:54You look over the ramp

01:45:56and you see that the ship is still moving.

01:45:58But there is not a single crew member

01:46:00in sight.

01:46:02First, you tell yourself

01:46:04that they all gathered somewhere

01:46:06for a reason you do not know.

01:46:08Then you head for the navigation gateway.

01:46:10You cross long labyrinthine corridors

01:46:12to reach the rudder.

01:46:14The door is wide open and the speed regulator

01:46:16has been activated.

01:46:18The first scenario is that

01:46:20while you were sleeping,

01:46:22everyone else woke up and decided

01:46:24to play a prank on you.

01:46:26They must be hiding somewhere on the ship.

01:46:28When you panic because you think you're alone,

01:46:30they will all come out of their hiding places

01:46:32to surprise you.

01:46:34And there will be a party and cake.

01:46:36The second scenario you imagine is that

01:46:38while everyone was enjoying their cruise,

01:46:40the ship accidentally entered the fourth dimension

01:46:42taking everyone with it,

01:46:44including the animals.

01:46:46You're still here, aren't you?

01:46:48In the third scenario,

01:46:50the passengers and the crew

01:46:52found a better ship and decided

01:46:54to abandon this one to continue the cruise on the other.

01:46:56They just forgot to tell you.

01:46:58But why didn't they take their stuff

01:47:00and didn't even take the time to finish their meal?

01:47:02You try to understand how the controls work.

01:47:04But for you, all these buttons

01:47:06and these flashing lights

01:47:08are just a huge incomprehensible gadget.

01:47:10There is no manual,

01:47:12but there is a Wi-Fi connection

01:47:14to do a quick search

01:47:16to know how to pilot this huge vehicle.

01:47:18You quickly understand

01:47:20that the ship is in automatic mode.

01:47:22It is equipped with sensors capable of detecting

01:47:24the slightest variation of the swell.

01:47:26You go on social networks to try to contact someone,

01:47:28but your phone has no signal.

01:47:30Only your laptop is connected

01:47:32thanks to its cable.

01:47:34There is a radio to contact the continent.

01:47:36You call, but no one answers.

01:47:38Suddenly, notifications appear.

01:47:40You see the photos of your friends

01:47:42who went on vacation or stayed at home,

01:47:44but there is no one on them.

01:47:46You only see empty rooms,

01:47:48deserted landscapes.

01:47:50Everyone seems to have officially disappeared,

01:47:52except you.

01:47:54You try one last time to contact someone,

01:47:56anyone, but no one answers.

01:47:58You check the cruise itinerary

01:48:00and you discover that it will take about 11 days

01:48:02for the ship to reach the nearest quay.

01:48:04Studying the map,

01:48:06you notice a small isolated island.

01:48:08It is only 4 days away.

01:48:10A cruise ship travels at a speed of about 20 knots,

01:48:12or about 37 km per hour.

01:48:14You decide to visit the ship

01:48:16and enter rooms where you normally have no access.

01:48:20Advertisements on television

01:48:22show a cruise ship

01:48:24entirely empty, with no one on board.

01:48:26During a 7-day cruise,

01:48:28such a ship will use

01:48:30more than 4,080 kg of lettuce

01:48:32and 20,400 kg of eggs.

01:48:34In general,

01:48:36we consume 2,000 steaks and 1,000 baked potatoes

01:48:38per day on a cruise ship

01:48:40of more than 1,000 people.

01:48:42There is so much food and ingredients

01:48:44on the ship that, theoretically,

01:48:46you could last for years.

01:48:48You go to the reception

01:48:50and you grab the microphone used for official announcements.

01:48:52Is anyone there?

01:48:54Are you there?

01:48:56But no one answers you.

01:48:58If it's a farce, it's not funny anymore!

01:49:00You can go out now!

01:49:02I'm going to have a bite on the bridge.

01:49:04You wait a few moments,

01:49:06but in vain.

01:49:08You decide to visit the lower floors of the ship.

01:49:10But before you go down,

01:49:12you take a look at the skating rink.

01:49:14There is no one there either.

01:49:16You put on skates and take a little tour.

01:49:18It feels good.

01:49:20No one is there to bother you or tell you what to do.

01:49:22After that, you visit the leisure room

01:49:24and try some arcade games.

01:49:26As you have an unlimited reserve of tokens,

01:49:28you play for hours.

01:49:30The sun begins to set,

01:49:32so you decide to have a refreshing drink

01:49:34You sit on the upper deck

01:49:36where only the luckiest passengers are allowed.

01:49:38And you settle on a huge transat.

01:49:40Everything is so calm,

01:49:42you only hear the sound of the ocean.

01:49:44You fall asleep and you only wake up the next morning

01:49:46because of the sun.

01:49:48You go for a walk looking for something to do.

01:49:50You catch a golf club and you start throwing balls.

01:49:52You throw them all into the sea for hours,

01:49:54until you get bored.

01:49:56You notice that you have been distracted

01:49:58and you decide to go to the lower decks.

01:50:00You enter a room reserved for the crew

01:50:02with an access card that you found on the floor.

01:50:04You start going down to the bottom of the ship.

01:50:06It gets darker and darker.

01:50:08The electricity does not work,

01:50:10so you take a flashlight

01:50:12and you explore the rooms.

01:50:14The crew members

01:50:16usually live in dormitory-style cabins

01:50:18with superimposed beds.

01:50:20They also have a common space

01:50:22to take their meals

01:50:24and have access to some leisure activities.

01:50:26The kitchens that prepare meals for the main restaurants

01:50:28are also located in the lower areas.

01:50:30All the cabins look alike.

01:50:32There is a lot of noise coming from the machine room.

01:50:34It gives you goose bumps.

01:50:36The pipes creak

01:50:38and the dry noises are heard everywhere.

01:50:40The lighting flashes.

01:50:42Shadows seem to follow you

01:50:44when you move with the flashlight

01:50:46you picked up in one of the rooms.

01:50:48You are afraid. You call to know if there is someone.

01:50:50But all you hear is your own voice

01:50:52echoing in the corridors.

01:50:54You are lost.

01:50:56You try to find your way

01:50:58to the upper bridges,

01:51:00but all these corridors look alike.

01:51:02You start running and you panic.

01:51:04You stumble on something

01:51:06and you lose your flashlight.

01:51:08It is very dark.

01:51:10You shake your arms in all directions

01:51:12trying to find the exit.

01:51:14You put your hands on the walls

01:51:16to try to orient yourself.

01:51:18You finally see a bright light

01:51:20at the end of the corridor.

01:51:22You head for it.

01:51:24You arrive in one of the central kitchens

01:51:26where you will have your dessert.

01:51:28Your stomach is rumbling.

01:51:30You eat maids

01:51:32among the most exotic and high-end.

01:51:34Each of them can cost up to 1,000 euros

01:51:36in a luxury restaurant.

01:51:38You spend the following days

01:51:40enjoying delicious treats,

01:51:42playing golf and partying on the dance floor.

01:51:44Three days later,

01:51:46you have consumed all the pleasures

01:51:48that you could consume on the cruise ship.

01:51:50As you lean against the sun,

01:51:52you see an island in the distance.

01:51:54You quickly return to the rudder

01:51:56to check the map.

01:51:58The ship will arrive in 30 minutes,

01:52:00but you don't know how to dock it.

01:52:02You decide to lower the anchor

01:52:04to stop the ship.

01:52:06You will then use a lifeboat

01:52:08and you will row to the island.

01:52:10You gather material and food

01:52:12and you leave.

01:52:14Maybe someone on the island can help you.

01:52:16You go down and you row to the shore.

01:52:18You enter the city,

01:52:20but it is also deserted.

01:52:22You find yourself on the roads

01:52:24in the middle of their journey.

01:52:26You go to the police station

01:52:28in the hope of obtaining information,

01:52:30but nothing.

01:52:32A few months later,

01:52:34you explored the island from end to end

01:52:36by consuming the reserves of the cruise ship.

01:52:38After five years,

01:52:40the island is completely under your control

01:52:42and you have learned to pilot the ship.

01:52:44You have not seen a single person

01:52:46since that day already far away.

01:52:48It's as if everyone had disappeared,

01:52:50sitting in the radio tower.

01:52:52Your beard is long and you have cultivated fields

01:52:54all over the island.

01:52:56You haven't set foot on the boat for three years.

01:52:58Suddenly,

01:53:00you catch a signal on the radio.

01:53:02Someone on the continent

01:53:04is trying to contact you.

01:53:06You decide to get back on the boat

01:53:08and join civilization.
