00:00:00So, do you notice something strange?

00:00:04Recently, there have been alarming changes in the water levels of different parts of the Yellowstone Lake.

00:00:10At the same time, the water level can rise on one side of the lake and fall on the other.

00:00:14Wow, it looks like the lake basin is raised by underground forces.

00:00:19Could this be a sign of an imminent catastrophe?

00:00:22Geysers, mudflats and hot springs transform the Yellowstone National Park into an extraterrestrial world.

00:00:28And all these wonders are fed by a powerful supervolcano.

00:00:32Supervolcanoes produce super-eruptions.

00:00:36When this happens, they project over 1,000 cubic kilometers of ash, melting rocks and hot gases into the air.

00:00:43To better imagine it, four super-eruptions could fill the Grand Canyon on board.

00:00:49It is thought that the Yellowstone Giant is responsible for at least three huge eruptions and many other smaller ones.

00:00:56In this region, volcanic deposits are scattered over tens of thousands of kilometers.

00:01:01Scientists thought they had been created by numerous low-intensity eruptions.

00:01:06But after deepening their research, experts discovered that these deposits had been left by two unknown super-eruptions until then.

00:01:15These probably took place about 8.7 to 9 million years ago.

00:01:21This discovery means that the area surrounding the Yellowstone volcano was faced with a super-eruption every half a million years.

00:01:29But over the last three million years, the hot spot has only seen two super-eruptions.

00:01:35This suggests to scientists that these catastrophic events are slowing down.

00:01:39Or maybe one of them is behind.

00:01:42In any case, if the Yellowstone supervolcano exploded with such power as 2.1 million years ago,

00:01:49it would spit out more than 2,450 cubic kilometers of lava.

00:01:54That's more than 4,500 times the volume of the Sydney Bay.

00:01:58That's a lot of lava.

00:02:00Whether this happens or not is another question.

00:02:03There is no doubt that something is happening to this volcano.

00:02:06The changes in water levels in the Yellowstone Lake mean that the caldera rises to the surface.

00:02:12And the caldera is what remains after the eruption and the collapse of a volcano.

00:02:17The Yellowstone caldera does not just rise, creating a dome-shaped elevation.

00:02:23It also moves from top to bottom in a kind of breathing movement.

00:02:28It may be because the magma infiltrates the cave,

00:02:31or because this magma warms up the hydrothermal system of Yellowstone,

00:02:35making it expand and raise the cave.

00:02:38Yellowstone has the status of an active volcano.

00:02:41Its volcanic explosiveness index is 8 out of 10.

00:02:44Such a high number means that if this volcano erupted,

00:02:48it would be an apocalyptic event.

00:02:51Just before the disaster, the ground around the National Park would rise.

00:02:56Geothermal basins and geysers would reach boiling temperatures

00:03:00and become more acidic than usual.

00:03:03The magma would begin to rise to the surface.

00:03:06At some point, the rocky roof of the magmatic chamber could no longer resist,

00:03:10and the explosion would occur.

00:03:13A massive column of lava and ash would rise to a height of more than 26 km.

00:03:18After that, the volcano would continue to pump ash for days.

00:03:23The mixture of lava, ash and gas would exceed 1000 ° C.

00:03:27It would move through the region at a speed of 483 km per hour,

00:03:32faster than a race car.

00:03:34The air near the center of the eruption would then heat up to 300 ° C.

00:03:39One of the most dangerous consequences would be the fall of ash.

00:03:43Volcanic ash can turn into glassy cement

00:03:46only a few seconds after being inhaled and entered the lungs.

00:03:51People and animals would have trouble breathing.

00:03:54Well, yes, it's an euphemism.

00:03:57Buildings would begin to collapse under the weight of this dense substance.

00:04:01It would only take a few days for a layer of ash of 3 m

00:04:04to cover an area of about 80 km around the center of the eruption.

00:04:09Once the ashes had reached the stratosphere,

00:04:12temperatures would begin to drop all over the world.

00:04:15If the eruption was rich in sulfur, an efficient solar screen,

00:04:19it would be so cold that there would be no summer in the world for the years to come.

00:04:24The seasons of mushrooms would change.

00:04:26Agriculture would be faced with serious problems.

00:04:29There would be food supply problems.

00:04:32In the last 50 years, Yellowstone's caldera has risen by nearly 1 m.

00:04:37This should not alarm you, however.

00:04:40Experts are certain that this is a natural behavior for Yellowstone.

00:04:44The periods of rise in the form of domes are followed by a decrease in the caldera.

00:04:48Scientists believe that the supervolcano is not in any danger at the moment.

00:04:53For an eruption to occur, the magma inside must be melted to at least 50%.

00:04:59In the case of Yellowstone, this figure is only 5 to 15%.

00:05:04The probability of an eruption is therefore 1 in 730,000.

00:05:08That should do it.

00:05:10Even better, a recent study led researchers to believe

00:05:13that this hot spot could be currently in decline.

00:05:16And this, and this, despite all the activity of respiration and dome elevation.

00:05:22However, there have been a lot of discussions about what people could do

00:05:26to prevent this disastrous super-eruption from occurring.

00:05:30The most popular idea, and apparently the most effective,

00:05:33was to cool the Yellowstone supervolcano.

00:05:36Unfortunately, there is a hitch.

00:05:38The volcano only lets out 70% of the heat

00:05:41coming from its chambers filled with magma.

00:05:44But the rest of the heat stays inside.

00:05:47As soon as it reaches a certain threshold, the volcano erupts.

00:05:51If it was possible to extract at least 35% of the heat from the Yellowstone volcano,

00:05:56the eruption could be avoided.

00:05:58The colder the magma, the thicker and stickier it becomes.

00:06:02It ceases to be as fluid and no longer tries to rise to the surface.

00:06:06After considering these facts, NASA scientists proposed a plan.

00:06:11They suggested drilling a well about 10 km deep

00:06:14and pumping cold water under pressure.

00:06:17The water temperature at the surface would be around 350°C.

00:06:22In this way, the heat would be gradually extracted from the volcano.

00:06:27And if a geothermal power plant was built on the site,

00:06:30it would produce a lot of electricity.

00:06:33It would be very easy to produce and its price would be very attractive,

00:06:36about 10 cents per kWh.

00:06:39At first glance, it was a great idea.

00:06:42But some time later, it began to receive many criticisms.

00:06:46Imagine a drilling in the earth's crust, getting deeper and deeper.

00:06:50And then...

00:06:51Bam!

00:06:52You fall on a hypothermic pocket.

00:06:54Oh no!

00:06:55Get ready for a disaster.

00:06:57It can release gases likely to cause a series of overpowering explosions.

00:07:01In the worst case, it can even trigger a large-scale volcanic eruption.

00:07:07You already know its catastrophic consequences.

00:07:09Fountains of lava and avalanches of melting rocks,

00:07:12leading to climate change all over the world.

00:07:15Yes, it doesn't feel so good.

00:07:17Or let's say you are drilling a well to bring cold water to the volcano.

00:07:22And there, you accidentally touch its magmatic chamber.

00:07:26In this case, instead of cooling the giant,

00:07:28you will make the top of the magmatic chamber much more fragile than it was.

00:07:33And the whole construction may collapse at any time.

00:07:37And don't forget that your drilling can also release toxic gases.

00:07:41They often accumulate at the top of the reservoir filled with magma.

00:07:44Could it be worse?

00:07:46Well...

00:07:47Yes.

00:07:48In addition, it would extend for more than 16,000 years.

00:07:51This method is probably too risky to cool the volcano as quickly as people would like.

00:07:57And scientists are not even 100% sure

00:08:00that once the construction of the cooling system is completed,

00:08:03the volcano would remain cold for at least 100 years.

00:08:06Finally, the project aimed at cooling the Yellowstone supervolcano a little more

00:08:11would cost an astronomical sum of 3.5 billion dollars.

00:08:15A colossal price for something that could not work at all.

00:08:20By the way, Yellowstone is not the only volcano whose lava dome is rising at the moment.

00:08:25Lava domes are created when magma reaches the surface and accumulates around the chimney.

00:08:31Scientists have found one inside a submarine volcano in Japan.

00:08:36This dome is more than 610 meters high and more than 10 kilometers wide.

00:08:41Even if the Japanese supervolcano seems asleep,

00:08:44experts do not lower their guard.

00:08:46A volcanic system can go from a calm and docile state to the edge of the eruption in a blink of an eye.

00:08:52Another massive dome is developing in the central Andes,

00:08:56at the top of the largest active magma reserve on the planet.

00:09:00The plateau of Altiplano Puna, where the dome was discovered,

00:09:04is the second highest plateau in the world.

00:09:07And the dome itself is one kilometer high.

00:09:10You might wonder how the experts did not know anything about this huge elevation until recently.

00:09:16The answer is simple.

00:09:18It was hidden within the plateau itself.

00:09:20It is an arid region, sprinkled with volcanoes,

00:09:23and it extends over thousands of kilometers.

00:09:28What a crazy night!

00:09:32Your friends and you get out of the car and call a taxi.

00:09:35Ten minutes later, you all arrive at your respective houses.

00:09:39While chatting with your friends, you notice that the streetlights are already out.

00:09:44Even if it is 3 o'clock in the morning and it is still dark outside.

00:09:48But it does not matter.

00:09:50The taxi drops you off at home and leaves at full speed.

00:09:53The alley is also dark.

00:09:55Everyone sleeps at this time.

00:09:58You walk to your front door.

00:10:00The light sensitive to movement does not turn on.

00:10:03That's weird.

00:10:05The light bulb must have burned.

00:10:07You raise your shoulders and look for your keys in the dark.

00:10:10Here they are.

00:10:11Now you make as little noise as possible so as not to wake everyone up.

00:10:14You do not turn on the lights in the corridor.

00:10:16You take off your shoes and run to the toilet on the tip of your feet.

00:10:19All you have to do is take a good shower after a crazy night of dancing and sweating.

00:10:24You press the light switch and nothing.

00:10:27The light does not turn on here either.

00:10:29This is not a coincidence.

00:10:31You briefly think about going to the basement and using the diesel generator.

00:10:35But you quickly drop the idea.

00:10:37It's way too noisy.

00:10:39Well, you're going to wash yourself in the dark, too bad.

00:10:41You open the tap in the bathroom.

00:10:43But it makes a weird noise and lets out a few spitting drops.

00:10:47Then it stops.

00:10:49Great.

00:10:50No light, no water.

00:10:52Or how to end the evening on a positive note.

00:10:55Bored, you go up to your room,

00:10:57being careful not to walk on your cat on the way.

00:11:02And you lie on your bed without even undressing.

00:11:05What a good thing.

00:11:07It's morning.

00:11:09You wake up feeling all greasy.

00:11:11Clothes stick to your body.

00:11:13You desperately need a shower.

00:11:15Now.

00:11:16You go down to the bathroom.

00:11:19You press the switch without thinking.

00:11:21And everything comes back to you.

00:11:23There is still no light.

00:11:25You check the tap again.

00:11:27Nothing new there either.

00:11:29Just great.

00:11:31Well, it's already 11 o'clock in the morning,

00:11:33so let's go to the generator.

00:11:35You go to the basement and pour fuel into the tank.

00:11:38Then you turn it on.

00:11:40It starts to make a lot of noise, but at least it works.

00:11:43That means you have electricity now.

00:11:46As you go up, you see that your mother is awake.

00:11:48You explain to her what's going on,

00:11:50and you go out to the local store to get water in bottles.

00:11:56On the way, you meet one of your neighbors.

00:11:58He carries a 4-liter water can in each hand.

00:12:02Very quickly, you realize that everyone seems to have the same problem.

00:12:07No light, no water.

00:12:09You even see a long line at the store entrance from afar.

00:12:14You have to wait 20 minutes before your turn,

00:12:16and you take two 4-liter cans.

00:12:23The cashier informs you in a tired voice

00:12:25that card payments are not possible due to a power failure.

00:12:28So you have to pay in cash.

00:12:32You look up at the sky and give him a 5-euro bill.

00:12:35It's probably a temporary inconvenience, nothing more.

00:12:38You leave with your cans.

00:12:41It's now been a full month without electricity or tap water.

00:12:45What started as a simple nuisance

00:12:47is now turning into a real disaster.

00:12:51Most public places are closed,

00:12:53as are factories and even schools.

00:12:56Television doesn't work either, of course,

00:12:59and a lot of people are unemployed.

00:13:02You had to drop out of school to help your parents in the garden.

00:13:05They grow their own vegetables.

00:13:07But what really worries you

00:13:09is that there is still no official announcement of what is happening.

00:13:15People are starting to gather in close communities to help each other.

00:13:20Many of those whose work was linked to computers and machines

00:13:23are now learning to survive on their own, without modern amenities.

00:13:28But even farmers have had a hard time.

00:13:31They try to use machines with parcimony,

00:13:34saving fuel,

00:13:36and their work is becoming more and more difficult.

00:13:39Bottled water is also a luxury.

00:13:41Prices have skyrocketed in recent weeks.

00:13:44And if the situation doesn't improve quickly,

00:13:47only a minority of people will have access to clean water.

00:13:52At home, you only turn on the diesel generator when necessary,

00:13:56to cook or do quick cleaning once every few days.

00:14:01The rest of the time, you don't use electricity at all.

00:14:05You start to get used to waking up at dawn

00:14:07to make the most of the sun's light during the day.

00:14:11When the sun goes down,

00:14:13it's impossible to do anything in the dark.

00:14:16So you either go to sleep after a hard day's work,

00:14:19or you light a candle and read a good old book.

00:14:23Half a year has passed. Nothing has changed.

00:14:26We still don't know what caused the breakdown,

00:14:29but people who went on expeditions in other cities

00:14:32have the same news everywhere.

00:14:34The problem seems to be global.

00:14:38By getting used to your new lifestyle,

00:14:40you and your parents have reorganized your home.

00:14:44You have a few cows and several chickens for milk and eggs.

00:14:48And your garden is now a real garden

00:14:50with cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes,

00:14:53and even apples growing under your supervision.

00:14:56But getting water to drink and garden is a real challenge.

00:15:00Bottled water has become too rare and extremely expensive,

00:15:03so you now have to go to the river 10 km away.

00:15:07At first, you drove there

00:15:09taking as many bottles and cans as possible.

00:15:13But after a few months, you ran out of gas.

00:15:16So now, you and your father go back on foot.

00:15:20At least you have a cart,

00:15:22which allows you to transport more than you would do with bare hands.

00:15:25But the journey still lasts most of the day.

00:15:29The city has become a very friendly and supportive community.

00:15:33Neighbors help each other all the time,

00:15:35and it has become common to organize barbecues with the whole neighborhood.

00:15:39Everyone brings their own food to contribute,

00:15:42and those who are not yet used to natural life

00:15:44bring home some groceries

00:15:46to fill their stomachs for several days.

00:15:49Although you live on the outskirts, almost in the countryside,

00:15:52it is still curious to see how calm it is

00:15:55without cars passing by.

00:15:57However, another sound has replaced the engines,

00:16:00the sound of the sabots running along the road.

00:16:02More and more people are riding their horses again to get around.

00:16:06The city itself has become almost empty.

00:16:09People leave their apartments to go live in the countryside,

00:16:12and many of them have to unite in a joint group

00:16:15to survive on the land plots they have acquired.

00:16:19The best water sources are, of course, on the banks of the river.

00:16:22This is where most citizens are concentrated.

00:16:25Some have tried to set up counters

00:16:27and sell the water from the river,

00:16:29but they have quickly been damaged.

00:16:31Free access to water has been given to everyone.

00:16:36Today is your mother's birthday.

00:16:38Dad and you had exchanged meat and vegetables

00:16:41for a nice bouquet of white roses

00:16:43and some strawberries, her favorite.

00:16:45It is the fourth time you celebrate your birthday in this new world.

00:16:48You have been living off the land for four and a half years,

00:16:51and things are better than ever.

00:16:53Your father spoke to the community

00:16:55and the former inhabitants of the city on the banks of the river,

00:16:58and they agreed to participate in the construction of an irrigation system.

00:17:01You have dug three canals

00:17:03that have allowed you to water the crops of everyone

00:17:05and then return to the main watercourse.

00:17:08Now, no need to travel 20 km every two or three days.

00:17:11In addition, the people of the neighborhood have organized

00:17:14common crops and you work on your plot every day,

00:17:17sowing, plowing and harvesting.

00:17:21Then, the harvest is distributed among all the inhabitants

00:17:24depending on the size of their household.

00:17:27With this system, no one is left out,

00:17:29even if they cannot work in the fields.

00:17:33Surprisingly, you have taken a liking to this lifestyle.

00:17:36You hardly remember what it was like

00:17:38to have a smartphone or to watch television.

00:17:41But you love the birdsong every night

00:17:43and work in the open air every day.

00:17:46Although it was difficult at first,

00:17:49you are now tanned and muscular

00:17:51and your physical and mental health have improved.

00:17:54No need to respect deadlines or hurry.

00:17:58Your life is now peaceful and you have a simple goal

00:18:01to live and help others.

00:18:05You have not forgotten your friends either

00:18:07and you often come to see them.

00:18:09They come to help you on the field and in the evening,

00:18:12you have dinner together, play cards

00:18:14and sing songs around the fire.

00:18:16As far as you know,

00:18:18life has never been so simple and satisfying.

00:18:21No one still knows what happened,

00:18:23but in the end, it seems to be for the best.

00:18:29Another completely crazy thing happened to me recently.

00:18:32It was a Sunday morning

00:18:34and I fried eggs for breakfast.

00:18:36But something was really wrong.

00:18:38I was not sure if it was the eggs or me.

00:18:41You've already tasted eggs, right?

00:18:43They usually taste like...

00:18:45the egg.

00:18:46But this time, in addition to the egg,

00:18:48I could feel the taste of lemon,

00:18:50vanilla yogurt and even paper.

00:18:52And it's not as good as you might think.

00:18:54The yogurt is good in itself,

00:18:56but with the eggs, it's disgusting.

00:18:58Whatever the reason,

00:18:59I decided that it would not bother me

00:19:01to have a tea that day.

00:19:02But as soon as I tried,

00:19:04I spat it all out.

00:19:06What was that?

00:19:07A spoonful of black pepper?

00:19:09I need to drink water as soon as possible.

00:19:11I took a glass,

00:19:12and fortunately,

00:19:13it was just an ordinary glass of water.

00:19:15I tried to eat strawberries,

00:19:17but in addition to the normal taste of strawberries,

00:19:19they had a strong taste of pepper.

00:19:21Not the best combination, to be honest.

00:19:23It seemed that something had happened

00:19:25to all the food in the house.

00:19:27I also had an orange juice,

00:19:29so I drank a glass.

00:19:31Surprisingly, the taste was very good.

00:19:33Suddenly, I had a weird idea.

00:19:35Did I taste the colors?

00:19:37It was so crazy and strange

00:19:39that I needed to check this theory

00:19:41immediately.

00:19:43I admit it,

00:19:45I licked the back of my cell phone.

00:19:47It really tasted like yogurt and vanilla,

00:19:49just like the egg.

00:19:51So it was true,

00:19:53I could taste the colors that mingled

00:19:55with the original taste of each food

00:19:57and the mess.

00:19:59I wanted to go to the doctor,

00:20:01but even if this new superpower was weird,

00:20:03it was still a bit exciting.

00:20:05I couldn't wait to know

00:20:07what the other flavors were.

00:20:09So I went to a supermarket

00:20:11and I bought a pack of felt.

00:20:13I arrived at the table,

00:20:15I opened the yellow one and I licked it.

00:20:17It tasted like lemon.

00:20:19So I licked each of them

00:20:21and I made a list.

00:20:23The pink had a strawberry taste,

00:20:25the red was chili,

00:20:27the orange was an orange,

00:20:29the blue was very bitter,

00:20:31the light blue was salty

00:20:33muscadine,

00:20:35the gray was paper,

00:20:37and the green had a vomit taste.

00:20:39Conclusion,

00:20:41I don't eat green food anymore from now on.

00:20:43Not that it particularly saddens me

00:20:45to be told,

00:20:47I only had one color left, brown.

00:20:49I was very reluctant to try,

00:20:51but I had to find a solution.

00:20:53To my great relief,

00:20:55it tasted like coffee.

00:20:57I don't like coffee,

00:20:59but it could be worse.

00:21:01So I decided to go to the doctor the next day.

00:21:03And then today,

00:21:05I had to learn to live with this ability.

00:21:07I had to avoid putting in my mouth

00:21:09everything that was black,

00:21:11gray, blue and green.

00:21:13Not only food,

00:21:15but also dishes and cutlery.

00:21:17And I had to find what foods

00:21:19I could eat

00:21:21because I didn't like the strawberries

00:21:23that tasted like pepper.

00:21:25So I went to the store

00:21:27to buy transparent dishes.

00:21:29As I walked,

00:21:31I thought about my menu of the day.

00:21:33Orange juice, it goes.

00:21:35Strawberry yogurt, vanilla and lemon too.

00:21:37I could make a fruit salad

00:21:39with mango, raspberries

00:21:41and grapes, bananas and yogurt.

00:21:43But that's all I could find.

00:21:45By biting my lip,

00:21:47I realized it tasted like strawberries.

00:21:49In the store,

00:21:51it was quite easy to find a transparent bowl,

00:21:53but spoons and forks were a problem.

00:21:55I think I had to visit

00:21:57all the stores in the city

00:21:59before finding my happiness.

00:22:01As soon as I got home,

00:22:03I cut all the fruits

00:22:05and I made a nice salad.

00:22:07I didn't eat much that morning,

00:22:09as you remember.

00:22:11Honestly, it was the best salad

00:22:13of all time.

00:22:15I saved money

00:22:17because I didn't have to buy

00:22:19berries, oranges and lemons,

00:22:21but the taste was there.

00:22:23While I was tasting my meal,

00:22:25I noticed that I couldn't come,

00:22:27but she didn't want to hear anything.

00:22:29Oh, grandmothers,

00:22:31you know it's impossible

00:22:33to avoid a meal when they want to feed you.

00:22:35So she told me she didn't want to hear

00:22:37any excuses and that I had to be

00:22:39at home at 6 p.m.

00:22:41That meant I couldn't wait

00:22:43until the next day.

00:22:45I had to go to the doctor on the field

00:22:47and get rid of this super power

00:22:49before my grandmother made me eat vomit

00:22:51and drink black pepper tea.

00:22:53I only had 20 minutes

00:22:55before my doctor left

00:22:57and the medical center was

00:22:59several blocks away.

00:23:01I finished my salad

00:23:03and ran out of the apartment.

00:23:05I arrived at the clinic

00:23:075 minutes before the clinic closed

00:23:09and I asked my doctor

00:23:11if he could see me

00:23:13because I had an emergency.

00:23:15To my great relief,

00:23:17he accepted.

00:23:19When I explained to him

00:23:21I told him the whole story.

00:23:23The omelette for breakfast

00:23:25and how I bought and tasted all the markers.

00:23:27That purple was a blueberry

00:23:29and green wasn't like an apple

00:23:31as he might have thought.

00:23:33That I spent hours trying to find

00:23:35a clear spoon and fork.

00:23:37To be honest, in my head

00:23:39it sounded better and made a lot more sense.

00:23:41The doctor was quiet and a little suspicious.

00:23:43He took my temperature,

00:23:45my blood pressure,

00:23:47and looked into my mouth.

00:23:49He said with a smile.

00:23:51Oops, I guess my tongue

00:23:53had the color of a rainbow.

00:23:55That doesn't seem normal for an adult.

00:23:57The doctor obviously didn't believe me

00:23:59so he just let me go

00:24:01by recommending me a good night's sleep.

00:24:03I guess I was stuck with that

00:24:05and I had to go see my grandmother.

00:24:07Unfortunately,

00:24:09there was no way she could give me

00:24:11strawberry yogurt for dinner.

00:24:13I went home to get my new blankets

00:24:15to at least not have the taste of paper

00:24:17when I ate with my grandmother's

00:24:19grey metal fork.

00:24:21I still had a few hours

00:24:23so I did some research on Google

00:24:25but I still couldn't find a solution.

00:24:27I thought I might be able to get rid of it

00:24:29by drinking so I filled it

00:24:31with 4 liters of water.

00:24:33But that didn't help

00:24:35so I went to my friend's house

00:24:37dragging my feet.

00:24:39I couldn't lay a rabbit to my grandmother.

00:24:41She was so happy to see me

00:24:43and told me she had made

00:24:45a cup of tea especially for me.

00:24:47Yes, maybe yesterday they were my favorites

00:24:49but that was definitely not the case today.

00:24:51I tried to tell her

00:24:53that I wasn't hungry

00:24:55and that I could just drink a little orange juice

00:24:57but of course she didn't want to know anything.

00:24:59She gave me a plate

00:25:01with 5 crepes

00:25:03and a cup of black tea.

00:25:05Suddenly, I had an idea to get rid

00:25:07at least of the taste of pepper

00:25:09by putting a piece of lemon in the tea.

00:25:11It would become brown.

00:25:13So I made a cup of black tea

00:25:15instead of a pepper tea.

00:25:17I was lucky, my grandmother had lemon

00:25:19so the tea problem was solved.

00:25:21But the worst part was the crepes

00:25:23and my grandmother was looking at me

00:25:25all excited and happy.

00:25:27I had to eat.

00:25:29I tried to control my facial expression

00:25:31and to look super happy

00:25:33as if I was eating the best food on the planet

00:25:35even if it was the most horrible meal

00:25:37of my life.

00:25:39And yes, I drank a lot of my black tea.

00:25:41But when I finished and I thanked my grandmother

00:25:43she was so happy

00:25:45that I understood that having eaten vomit

00:25:47was worth it.

00:25:49It turned out that my grandmother had a vanilla yogurt

00:25:51so I ate everything she had

00:25:53to get rid of the taste I still had in my mouth

00:25:55after the crepes.

00:25:57When I got home,

00:25:59biting my lip with the strawberry,

00:26:01I was thinking.

00:26:03I had to find a plan to get rid of this capacity.

00:26:05But I couldn't think of anything

00:26:07so as soon as I got home

00:26:09I took a shower

00:26:11even if it was only 21 hours.

00:26:13I slept for 11 hours

00:26:15and the next morning I made a fruit salad

00:26:17with yogurt.

00:26:19Once again.

00:26:21I guess from that moment on

00:26:23it was the meal of the rest of my life.

00:26:25I ate it with my transparent fork

00:26:27and I watched a TV show

00:26:29when I suddenly realized

00:26:31that I couldn't perceive the taste of the lemon

00:26:33and no orange either.

00:26:35I bit my lip

00:26:37and trembling, I opened the fridge

00:26:39to take my strawberries.

00:26:41I ate one and it tasted like a normal strawberry.

00:26:43No pepper.

00:26:45Everything was back to normal

00:26:47as if nothing had happened.

00:26:49But I swear it happened.

00:26:51Really.

00:26:53When the earth is cut in half,

00:26:55almost all living things

00:26:57will disappear.

00:26:59No film has ever described

00:27:01such an apocalypse.

00:27:03The atmosphere will be affected,

00:27:05and the appearance of our planet

00:27:07will be completely transformed.

00:27:09But the earth will have the opportunity

00:27:11to renew itself entirely

00:27:13and life, like a phoenix,

00:27:15will be reborn from its ashes.

00:27:17To cut the planet in half,

00:27:19a super powerful laser will be necessary.

00:27:21It will receive its energy directly from the sun,

00:27:23the weapon will be sent into space

00:27:25aboard a rocket

00:27:27and will travel thousands of kilometers

00:27:29of our world.

00:27:31Once at its destination,

00:27:33the laser will absorb and concentrate

00:27:35the sun's rays.

00:27:37Then, a powerful energy beam

00:27:39the diameter of several cities

00:27:41will be projected

00:27:43on the center of the planet.

00:27:45Due to extreme temperatures,

00:27:47the oceans crossed by the beam

00:27:49will boil and evaporate.

00:27:51These vapors will turn

00:27:53into vast clouds of storms in the sky.

00:27:55A powerful wind will push them

00:27:57above the continents.

00:27:59Heavy rains will fall,

00:28:01destroying cities and entire countries.

00:28:03With the displacement of the tectonic plates,

00:28:05the seas will rise

00:28:07to form terrible tsunamis

00:28:09and huge waves will crash

00:28:11on the coasts.

00:28:13The earth has therefore been cut in half

00:28:15and this is only the beginning.

00:28:17The structure of the planet,

00:28:19or rather each of its halves,

00:28:21is changing.

00:28:23Strong earthquakes occur

00:28:25all over the world.

00:28:27The worst disasters occur

00:28:29and the earth begins to collapse.

00:28:31Huge landslides

00:28:33drag entire cities.

00:28:35Pieces of the earth several thousand kilometers

00:28:37wide are projected into space.

00:28:39The creatures that lived on these fragments

00:28:41are also carried away.

00:28:43Some fall back on half the planet

00:28:45of which they are the closest.

00:28:47Imagine a rock the size of a city

00:28:49falling from the sky.

00:28:51Now, imagine hundreds,

00:28:53even thousands of these stones.

00:28:55Only those who live far from the line of fracture

00:28:57have a chance of surviving.

00:28:59But even there, earthquakes

00:29:01will destroy houses.

00:29:03And the moon will also begin to project debris.

00:29:05These bursts, like a meteor shower,

00:29:07will fall on both halves of the earth

00:29:09and their impact will be

00:29:11of incredible violence.

00:29:13These explosions will cause fires.

00:29:15The sky will be filled with ashes

00:29:17and as long as they are not dissipated,

00:29:19we will not be able to see the sun.

00:29:21The two parts of the planet

00:29:23are now moving away from each other.

00:29:25The burning core of our earth is exposed.

00:29:27This core is made up of fusion metals.

00:29:29Each half of the core

00:29:31emits an energy comparable

00:29:33to that of a star.

00:29:35Between the two halves of the earth,

00:29:37the temperatures are so high

00:29:39that nothing can survive.

00:29:41Any object that enters this area

00:29:43immediately falls to ashes.

00:29:45The mass at the core level

00:29:47is much higher than at the surface level.

00:29:49Gravity is also much higher there.

00:29:51The core attracts everything

00:29:53impossible to travel

00:29:55from one half to the other of the earth.

00:29:57Ships have no chance of resisting this force.

00:29:59The two parts of the globe

00:30:01now live separately.

00:30:03Normally, the core

00:30:05is what creates, by rotating,

00:30:07the magnetic field of the planet.

00:30:09This field is a shield that protects us

00:30:11from the sun and space.

00:30:13If this shield is damaged,

00:30:15solar and cosmic rays

00:30:17pass through the atmosphere.

00:30:19As the core is also divided,

00:30:21the earth becomes unstable.

00:30:23Current interruptions occur

00:30:25on both hemispheres.

00:30:27Microwaves, televisions, boilers,

00:30:29traffic lights, computers,

00:30:31nothing works anymore.

00:30:33The screen of your laptop

00:30:35or your phone starts blinking.

00:30:37Videos freeze and the battery

00:30:39runs out of charge in a second.

00:30:41Satellites stop working,

00:30:43which means there is no more GPS.

00:30:45High-frequency radio waves,

00:30:47used for communication, are cut off

00:30:49and you can no longer call

00:30:51or send messages.

00:30:53In fact, all power plants

00:30:55may have collapsed

00:30:57or flooded due to earthquakes.

00:30:59So there may be no electricity

00:31:01at all.

00:31:03Some people are sensitive

00:31:05to solar storms and suffer

00:31:07serious headaches.

00:31:09If the magnetic field is damaged,

00:31:11the risk is high that living creatures

00:31:13all suffer from severe migraines.

00:31:15Scientists must invent special helmets

00:31:17to protect them from the sun.

00:31:19For total protection,

00:31:21we will have to live in underground cities.

00:31:23The needles of the compass

00:31:25will no longer point north.

00:31:27They will simply turn in all directions.

00:31:29Birds will go crazy.

00:31:31They will no longer know where to fly

00:31:33to spend the winter,

00:31:35because the south will no longer exist for them.

00:31:37All animals now stop migrating.

00:31:39In the sky, planes can no longer navigate.

00:31:41Plants and flowers can no longer grow naturally

00:31:43due to the increase in solar radiation.

00:31:45The quality of products is deteriorating.

00:31:47Famine is rampant.

00:31:49Half of the planet's inhabitants

00:31:51no longer think about surviving.

00:31:53In some places closer to the fault,

00:31:55the Earth's atmosphere

00:31:57is completely destroyed.

00:31:59The conditions there are now similar

00:32:01to those in space.

00:32:03There is no more air or heat.

00:32:05It is only when you wear a space suit

00:32:07that you can stay in this area.

00:32:09Unfortunately, you can neither jump nor fly

00:32:11because gravity is still there.

00:32:13By the way, it is gravity

00:32:15that constitutes the salvation of our planet.

00:32:17Because of gravity,

00:32:19the two parts of the Earth

00:32:21will not collide with each other.

00:32:23On the contrary, they will turn around

00:32:25and begin to get closer.

00:32:27In 100,000 years,

00:32:29the two parts of the planet will reconnect

00:32:31and the Earth will be completely renewed.

00:32:33As the core is made of melted metal,

00:32:35it will form a single heart again.

00:32:37But it will take much longer

00:32:39for the Earth's crust itself

00:32:41to be completely renewed.

00:32:43A scar will form along the fault.

00:32:45This scar will be covered with forests

00:32:47and flooded by the oceans.

00:32:49But there will still be strong earthquakes

00:32:51in some places.

00:32:53At this point,

00:32:55all living beings will probably have disappeared.

00:32:57On our planet,

00:32:59the conditions will be about the same

00:33:01as 4.5 billion years ago.

00:33:03The seas and oceans will be boiling,

00:33:05lightning will strike everywhere,

00:33:07tectonic plates will move constantly,

00:33:09and lava will flow from the volcanoes

00:33:11in a rapid flow.

00:33:13The Earth will look like a vast,

00:33:15bubbling marmite,

00:33:17inside which life will gradually appear.

00:33:19As the Earth has shrunk in size

00:33:21and the core has not changed much,

00:33:23gravity will be different.

00:33:25On Earth,

00:33:27it will be more difficult for an ordinary person

00:33:29to walk.

00:33:31We will weigh much more.

00:33:33In such conditions,

00:33:35a new form of life,

00:33:37the atmosphere and the oceans of the world

00:33:39are polluted, the population increases

00:33:41and the glaciers melt.

00:33:43In the future, things could be

00:33:45even worse for our planet.

00:33:47In a thousand years, when humanity

00:33:49has mastered space travel,

00:33:51we could decide to move.

00:33:53We will start looking for other planets

00:33:55similar to Earth

00:33:57and we may find a good candidate.

00:33:59However, nothing could

00:34:01really replace our first home

00:34:03and humanity would probably decide

00:34:05to heal it.

00:34:07Maybe we will then have the idea

00:34:09to divide the planet in two

00:34:11and live on one side.

00:34:13And after a hundred thousand years,

00:34:15our Earth would be healthy and whole again.

00:34:17What if we divided other planets?

00:34:19As they do not have magnetic fields,

00:34:21they would not be so affected.

00:34:23For example, Venus and Mars

00:34:25have no sea, no ocean, no lake.

00:34:27Some scientists think they dried up

00:34:29when the magnetic field disappeared.

00:34:31This led to the complete destruction

00:34:33of the atmosphere of these planets.

00:34:35The solar winds blew so hard

00:34:37that no liquid remained on their surface.

00:34:39The Earth's atmosphere protects us

00:34:41from these winds and we are safe.

00:34:43There would be no major cataclysms

00:34:45on the other planets

00:34:47except for earthquakes.

00:34:49As on Earth, both parts of these worlds

00:34:51would simply rotate around each other

00:34:53and then reconnect.

00:34:57Oh my God!

00:34:59You are in the mysterious ruins

00:35:01of an ancient city.

00:35:03You are the only member of the expedition

00:35:05who managed to get here.

00:35:07You walk in a dark maze

00:35:09when you accidentally activate a trap.

00:35:11A strange noise.

00:35:13Suddenly, a huge rock starts

00:35:15to roll towards you in the corridor.

00:35:17You run as fast as you can

00:35:19by jumping over the debris.

00:35:21One last jump and...

00:35:23This room looks like a treasure room.

00:35:25Gold coins and precious stones

00:35:27are scattered everywhere.

00:35:29You open your eyes.

00:35:31There would be enough money

00:35:33to live a luxurious life

00:35:35for decades.

00:35:37But it's not the shiny materials

00:35:39that interest you.

00:35:41It's an old lamp

00:35:43that is in the rubble.

00:35:45As soon as you pick it up,

00:35:47the lamp starts to shake

00:35:49and a huge genie appears.

00:35:51You can only make one wish.

00:35:53Yes, only one,

00:35:55because it's a lazy genie.

00:35:57The genie

00:35:59hits his hands and disappears.

00:36:03Ping!

00:36:05A notification on your smartphone.

00:36:07Your bank account has been credited

00:36:09with 100000...

00:36:11Damn, this number doesn't even

00:36:13show up on the screen.

00:36:15You go back to the surface

00:36:17and take out your phone.

00:36:19You will check who is the richest man

00:36:21in the world now.

00:36:23Ah, here you are, at the top of the page.

00:36:25Once again, the number ends

00:36:27with three little dots.

00:36:29It's time to go home

00:36:31and start spending your money.

00:36:33The first thing on the list

00:36:35is a plane ticket.

00:36:37An additional leg room?

00:36:39No, not expensive enough.

00:36:41A first class seat?

00:36:43Same.

00:36:45Your own jet then?

00:36:47Like those that an Arab sheikh

00:36:49would own.

00:36:51You opt for a huge Airbus A380

00:36:53A concert hall,

00:36:55a hammam and a parking lot.

00:36:59You press the pay button

00:37:01and your plane waits for you on the landing strip.

00:37:03You check your bank account

00:37:05and the number hasn't even changed.

00:37:07The genie didn't lie to you.

00:37:11On your way home,

00:37:13you wonder how to spend your money.

00:37:15A car? A house?

00:37:17You need more time to think about it.

00:37:19You land in your country

00:37:21and now you have to go home.

00:37:23You can't afford

00:37:25a bus or a taxi.

00:37:27You buy a new Bugatti.

00:37:29This car is unique in its kind

00:37:31and costs 18.6 million dollars.

00:37:37Your small apartment

00:37:39doesn't suit you anymore.

00:37:41You need something bigger.

00:37:43A skyscraper.

00:37:45The most expensive skyscraper in the world

00:37:47is the Saudi Arabia skyscraper

00:37:49whose construction cost 16 billion dollars.

00:37:51But you spend 20 billion dollars

00:37:53to break the record.

00:37:55Construction has begun

00:37:57but in the meantime

00:37:59you need a place to live.

00:38:01You buy a penthouse

00:38:03at 172 Madison Avenue in New York

00:38:05for 100 million dollars.

00:38:07You have already spent 17 billion dollars

00:38:09but it seems that your bank account

00:38:11hasn't changed.

00:38:13You get bored and you decide

00:38:15to buy the most expensive car in the world.

00:38:19A watch with a lot of rare diamonds

00:38:2155 million dollars.

00:38:25Another car, this time

00:38:27an old school Ferrari worth 70 million dollars.

00:38:29It's yours.

00:38:33A baseball card worth more than 3 million dollars?

00:38:35Why not?

00:38:37A painting worth 450 million dollars

00:38:39created by Leonardo DiCaprio.

00:38:41Oops!

00:38:43By Leonardo da Vinci.

00:38:45In your basket too.

00:38:47Wow, this shopping is so exhausting.

00:38:49It's time to relax.

00:38:51Which means

00:38:53a private island.

00:38:55610 million dollars.

00:38:57It's the price of a huge island in Hawaii.

00:38:59It's the size of a big city and now

00:39:01it's yours.

00:39:05You're not going to take your old plane

00:39:07to get to the island.

00:39:09You're going to buy a new one.

00:39:11The model that presidents use

00:39:13when they need to go somewhere.

00:39:15660 million dollars.

00:39:17And it's all yours.

00:39:21Sitting in your luxury plane

00:39:23with a crew of air hostesses at your service

00:39:25you feel like the most important person

00:39:27in the world.

00:39:29And you already imagine yourself

00:39:31sailing around your new island.

00:39:33But you forgot to buy a yacht.

00:39:35The most expensive in the world

00:39:37is gold plated

00:39:39and apparently it would house

00:39:41T-Rex eggs in the room.

00:39:43It took 3 years and 10 tons of gold

00:39:45to build it.

00:39:47And you buy it for almost 5 billion dollars.

00:39:51The island seems deserted.

00:39:53There is nothing else here

00:39:55but golden beaches and a luxurious greenery.

00:39:57But aren't you the richest man in the world?

00:39:59You decide to build yourself a palace.

00:40:01You click on a button

00:40:03and a replica of Buckingham's palace

00:40:05worth 3 billion dollars appears on the island.

00:40:07It's a perfect place for your guests.

00:40:09Now you go around

00:40:11your paradise island on your own yacht.

00:40:13But your face doesn't look happy.

00:40:15Entertainment for the rich

00:40:17is rather boring.

00:40:19You look at the sky

00:40:21and you think about flying to the stars.

00:40:23And you are standing

00:40:25on the launch ramp

00:40:27near the rocket that will take you to space.

00:40:29You paid 52 million dollars to do it.

00:40:33But the International Space Station

00:40:35is only filled with research labs.

00:40:37Not very exciting.

00:40:39That's why you build a new space station

00:40:41worth 150 billion dollars

00:40:43with a lot of fun

00:40:45and even a spa.

00:40:47You already spent more money

00:40:49than all the richest people on the planet.

00:40:51But your bank account

00:40:53hasn't changed.

00:40:55Your imagination

00:40:57is running out.

00:40:59March.

00:41:01You spend another 2.5 billion dollars

00:41:03and you become the first person

00:41:05to set foot on the red planet.

00:41:07Red sand, steep mountains,

00:41:09craters.

00:41:11But there is nothing to do.

00:41:13Even for you, the man who has an unlimited amount of money.

00:41:15So you slam the door of your rocket

00:41:17and you go home.

00:41:19All your skyscrapers

00:41:21are already built.

00:41:23New York with your house in the middle

00:41:25looks very different now.

00:41:27You are lying in a giant room

00:41:29with marble floors,

00:41:31and a fountain.

00:41:33Your money can buy everything,

00:41:35but you feel lonely.

00:41:37You own another skyscraper

00:41:39built next to yours.

00:41:41This one is for your friends

00:41:43and another for your family.

00:41:45And of course, your beloved cat

00:41:47also deserves a private penthouse.

00:41:49You no longer have free space.

00:41:51It's time to build your own city.

00:41:53You choose a place

00:41:55that used to be a burning desert

00:41:57with nothing but sand for miles.

00:41:59But you pay trillions of dollars

00:42:01and you build a city out of nothing.

00:42:03There is a chain of restaurants

00:42:05with your name on it.

00:42:07There are signs with your face in the streets.

00:42:09And a giant statue with your face

00:42:11on the tallest building in the city.

00:42:13The city is almost empty.

00:42:15But you cross these streets escorted

00:42:17by security agents in cars.

00:42:21For dinner,

00:42:23you buy the most expensive fish in the world.

00:42:25It's red tuna that cost you

00:42:273 million dollars.

00:42:29Then you decide

00:42:31it's time to make a movie about yourself.

00:42:33The most expensive movie

00:42:35ever made cost 400 million dollars.

00:42:37You pay 1 billion dollars

00:42:39and you hire the best paid actors in the world.

00:42:41But when the movie is ready,

00:42:43the only audience watching it

00:42:45is you.

00:42:47Especially because you're in your private cinema.

00:42:49When the credits roll,

00:42:51you start throwing popcorn on the screen.

00:42:53You didn't enjoy the show.

00:42:57You walk down a corridor

00:42:59with the most expensive paintings in the world.

00:43:01Next to them,

00:43:03you see the rarest archaeological finds

00:43:05and... another fountain?

00:43:07No, that's not right.

00:43:09You spent billions of dollars

00:43:11but you're not happier.

00:43:13You decide to go back

00:43:15where it all started.

00:43:17With a torch in hand,

00:43:19you go back to the old ruins.

00:43:21The treasure is there.

00:43:23You find the lamp of genius

00:43:25where you left it.

00:43:27As soon as you pick it up,

00:43:29the genius appears in front of you.

00:43:31He makes fun of you

00:43:33because you fell into his trap.

00:43:35He gave you an infinite amount of money

00:43:37to make this wealth drive you crazy.

00:43:39But you take out your phone

00:43:41and you press the button

00:43:43to donate everything.

00:43:45In a second,

00:43:47your money is spent on charitable associations

00:43:49all over the world.

00:43:51Now, scientists have the opportunity

00:43:53ecologists have found more funds

00:43:55to use to save our planet.

00:43:57And each person on Earth

00:43:59now has enough food.

00:44:01The genius gets angry

00:44:03because you trapped him.

00:44:05He's about to hit you with a lightning bolt.

00:44:07But you take the lamp

00:44:09and you confine the genius there forever.

00:44:11When you go home

00:44:13and you turn on the TV,

00:44:15you see your face on all the channels.

00:44:17They think you're a hero,

00:44:19the savior of humanity.

00:44:21You receive thousands of letters of thanks

00:44:23from people you made happy.

00:44:25You smile and you feel better too.

00:44:27Apparently, helping others

00:44:29is the best thing you can do.

00:44:33Ah, what a beautiful day, isn't it?

00:44:35It's true, until, boom,

00:44:37gravity disappears for a second.

00:44:39Let's recap the consequences

00:44:41of such an event,

00:44:43from the smallest to the largest.

00:44:45We'll start with you.

00:44:47Yes, you.

00:44:49For a single second,

00:44:51you'll probably be gone.

00:44:53The problem is that gravity

00:44:55doesn't just keep you on Earth.

00:44:57It also keeps all the atoms

00:44:59that make up your body.

00:45:01If this force were to disappear completely,

00:45:03even for such a short time,

00:45:05there's a good chance

00:45:07you'd just disintegrate.

00:45:09If that's not the case,

00:45:11you'll suddenly float above the ground.

00:45:13But don't worry,

00:45:15a second wouldn't be enough

00:45:17and only for you,

00:45:19you'd rise about 3 cm,

00:45:21then you'd fall again.

00:45:23But your thoughts would be taken

00:45:25by the lack of oxygen in your lungs

00:45:27because without gravity,

00:45:29your blood couldn't flow anymore.

00:45:31But if the phenomenon

00:45:33also affects your environment,

00:45:35you'll be happy not to be locked up

00:45:37at home at that moment

00:45:39because all the objects

00:45:41around you will also start floating

00:45:43and after a second,

00:45:45you'll probably be stuck

00:45:47on the ground.

00:45:49But everything will be fine

00:45:51and it'll be up to you

00:45:53to clean up this mess.

00:45:55By the way, you probably know

00:45:57that our planet rotates

00:45:59and runs through space

00:46:01at a dizzying speed.

00:46:03So there's a good chance

00:46:05that if gravity disappears

00:46:07for a second,

00:46:09everything on Earth

00:46:11will succumb to inertia

00:46:13and eventually,

00:46:15everything will keep its mass.

00:46:17If that's not the case,

00:46:19there should be no problem.

00:46:21Well, maybe.

00:46:23But the real problems

00:46:25start if gravity disappears

00:46:27at the scale of the entire planet.

00:46:29The force of gravity

00:46:31is equal to the pressure

00:46:33inside the Earth

00:46:35and if the external pressure

00:46:37disappears,

00:46:39nothing will prevent

00:46:41the world's volcanoes

00:46:43from erupting

00:46:45because the lava will be

00:46:47subjected to a huge pressure.

00:46:49If such a mega-eruption happens,

00:46:51no life form could survive

00:46:53except the most robust creatures

00:46:55like tardigrades.

00:46:57Volcanic ash clouds

00:46:59would spread all over the planet

00:47:01blocking the sunlight.

00:47:03At first, the temperatures

00:47:05would rise because of the greenhouse effect

00:47:07but very soon,

00:47:09gravity would come back

00:47:11because the movement would be triggered

00:47:13and no force would be enough to stop it.

00:47:15Above you,

00:47:17the Earth's atmosphere would evaporate.

00:47:19The air we breathe

00:47:21is also kept around the planet

00:47:23by the force of gravity.

00:47:25So, if it also disappeared,

00:47:27we would have nothing left to fill our lungs.

00:47:29With the return of gravity,

00:47:31the atmosphere would eventually

00:47:33reconstitute itself but the harm would already be done.

00:47:35The air would take a long time

00:47:37and the space would be even worse.

00:47:39As far as we know,

00:47:41everything in the universe is kept by gravity

00:47:43including planets, stars, galaxies

00:47:45and even galactic amas.

00:47:47On a cosmic scale,

00:47:49our planet is just a grain of dust

00:47:51with a tiny mass.

00:47:53The Sun is incredibly huge in comparison.

00:47:55Its diameter is 109 times larger

00:47:57and 300,000 times more massive.

00:47:59This explains why its gravity

00:48:01allows it to retain so many planets in its orbit.

00:48:03And this immense force

00:48:05comes just from...

00:48:07Even if it only lasts a second,

00:48:09the gas under very high pressure inside the Sun

00:48:11would cause an explosion

00:48:13which would send us huge heat waves,

00:48:15more intense than anything we've ever seen in history.

00:48:17The Sun would probably survive

00:48:19because in a second,

00:48:21it wouldn't have the time to inflate excessively.

00:48:23But we can't say the same about Mercury,

00:48:25Venus, Earth or even Mars.

00:48:27Mercury, being the closest,

00:48:29would simply be incinerated.

00:48:31The temperatures on Venus are already extremely high

00:48:33but they would increase even more,

00:48:35burning its surface,

00:48:37a good thing it's not inhabited.

00:48:39Unlike Earth, the Sun's heat wave

00:48:41would probably sweep our atmosphere first

00:48:43and then destroy the planet's surface.

00:48:45At first sight, nothing could survive.

00:48:47Once again.

00:48:49But it's still far from over.

00:48:51Our Sun is one of the smallest stars

00:48:53in the universe,

00:48:55the largest known being about 1,500 times

00:48:57bigger and more massive.

00:48:59If such a giant lost its gravity

00:49:01for a fraction of a second,

00:49:03everything around it, millions and millions of kilometres away,

00:49:05would simply be disintegrated,

00:49:07including other smaller stars.

00:49:09But the objects with the most mass

00:49:11and therefore the most gravity

00:49:13are neutron stars and black holes.

00:49:15Their size is extremely small for their mass,

00:49:17a bit like me,

00:49:19but the pressure they contain is so high

00:49:21that a loss of gravity,

00:49:23if only for a fraction of a second,

00:49:25could cause a huge explosion in space.

00:49:27For a second, it would be inevitable.

00:49:29But no one really knows how black holes work,

00:49:31so there's a chance

00:49:33that something different will happen.

00:49:35Or nothing at all.

00:49:37Finally, on a very large scale,

00:49:39if gravity decided to make a break of a second,

00:49:41surprisingly, not much would happen.

00:49:43The planets would keep their orbits.

00:49:45Although there is a chance

00:49:47that some minor deviations will occur,

00:49:49and in the case of galaxies or galactic dams,

00:49:51nothing would be noticed.

00:49:53The biggest upheavals would be local,

00:49:55because, as I said earlier,

00:49:57they would explode.

00:49:59And the bigger the explosion would be,

00:50:01the more it would affect the nearby celestial bodies.

00:50:03For example, if a rather large star

00:50:05sent a wave of energy

00:50:07towards our solar system,

00:50:09it could attract asteroids

00:50:11from the cloud of Oort.

00:50:13These space rocks fall on the Moon

00:50:15and even on Earth quite regularly,

00:50:17but they are, most of the time, relatively small.

00:50:19Those that would be projected on us

00:50:21by the explosion of a star

00:50:23could, however, be much larger and more dangerous.

00:50:25The other planets would be shielded,

00:50:27but the risk of impact would still be much higher

00:50:29than normal.

00:50:31But who would care?

00:50:33We would already be grilled.

00:50:35Obviously, all this is just speculation.

00:50:37Nobody knows for sure

00:50:39what would happen if gravity suddenly disappeared,

00:50:41even for a second.

00:50:43What we do know, however,

00:50:45is that it is impossible for this to happen

00:50:47without numerous laws of physics

00:50:49being enforced at the same time.

00:50:51Scientists are certain that such a disappearance

00:50:53would mean that everything in the universe

00:50:55would first have to lose its mass.

00:50:57Mass is, in fact, the reason

00:50:59gravity exists.

00:51:01The heavier an object is,

00:51:03the more important gravity is.

00:51:05Even you, by the way, have your own gravity.

00:51:07It is simply too small for you to feel it.

00:51:09But if you were a few million times more massive,

00:51:11you would probably attract everyone's attention

00:51:13and you would finally shine like a star.

00:51:17That's it, Hippopotamus.

00:51:19You only have 5 minutes left.

00:51:21The most important moments of your career are coming.

00:51:23You sweat a lot in this suit,

00:51:25but it is too late to turn around now.

00:51:27You are at an international technology conference

00:51:29with the most famous scientists,

00:51:31engineers, programmers,

00:51:33economists,

00:51:35and a whole bunch of other important

00:51:37personalities of this world.

00:51:39Artificial intelligence developers

00:51:41have made a discovery that could change

00:51:43the world forever.

00:51:45And in 4 minutes,

00:51:47there will be a public demonstration of this revelation.

00:51:49You are here as an interpreter.

00:51:51You have to translate all these scientific things

00:51:53into several languages.

00:51:55You have loved learning languages all your life.

00:51:57At first, it was movies and TV shows,

00:51:59books, comics.

00:52:01Then you started studying

00:52:03more seriously.

00:52:05Your parents took you everywhere in the world

00:52:07to observe the different cultures.

00:52:09And when you discovered that there were

00:52:11about 7,000 languages on our planet,

00:52:13you decided to spend your life learning them.

00:52:15Finally, some of them.

00:52:17Prestigious universities,

00:52:19higher education,

00:52:21living in different countries,

00:52:23studying the history of ancient languages.

00:52:25All of this made you the best interpreter

00:52:27and language expert in the world.

00:52:29And now, you are a little nervous

00:52:31because you have to translate this summit

00:52:33into 7 different languages.

00:52:35The conference starts.

00:52:37Scientists start talking about the evolution of AI.

00:52:39No, it will not invade the planet.

00:52:41On the contrary,

00:52:43it will make people's lives easier.

00:52:45For one reason or another,

00:52:47you have a bad feeling about this subject.

00:52:49The main developer

00:52:51reveals the big news.

00:52:53A new language has been created

00:52:55so that the whole world can use it.

00:52:57The language is easy to learn.

00:52:59The AI translation algorithm

00:53:01makes it easy to remember words,

00:53:03grammar.

00:53:05Basically, there will be no more communication problems.

00:53:07To make learning even easier,

00:53:09scientists have created an application

00:53:11that can translate all kinds of speech

00:53:13into the new language.

00:53:15Context, meaning, sarcasm,

00:53:17irony.

00:53:19Everything can now be translated into LUK,

00:53:21Common Universal Language.

00:53:23The world population will be united

00:53:25as never before.

00:53:27Then you realize that the biggest moment

00:53:29of your career is also

00:53:31the beginning of the end.

00:53:33Who will need an interpreter

00:53:35if everyone speaks the same language?

00:53:37Over the next 20 years,

00:53:39the planet will start speaking the common language.

00:53:41Each budget has the LUK application.

00:53:43The language is taught in schools

00:53:45and institutes.

00:53:47Big companies and companies

00:53:49introduce compulsory language courses

00:53:51for their employees.

00:53:53The AI translates thousands of books per day into LUK.

00:53:55In the cinema and television,

00:53:57only actors who speak LUK

00:53:59get the big rewards.

00:54:01People who couldn't learn a foreign language

00:54:03no longer have any problems with LUK.

00:54:05The learning process

00:54:07is easy and fun.

00:54:09In addition, it's a requirement

00:54:11for almost everything.

00:54:13Countries start to cancel their visa programs.

00:54:15Borders start to disappear.

00:54:17Everywhere in the world,

00:54:19the number of conflicts decreases.

00:54:21Because people can now understand each other

00:54:23much better.

00:54:25Operating systems, video games,

00:54:27technical articles, songs, jokes,

00:54:29scientific problems,

00:54:31everything is created in the new world language.

00:54:33You can call anyone

00:54:35on the other side of the planet,

00:54:37it's fascinating.

00:54:39You can travel around the world

00:54:41and not be afraid to accidentally order

00:54:4317 squirrels for breakfast,

00:54:45just because you mistook a little word.

00:54:47Cinema studios stop dubbing movies

00:54:49and there are no more subtitles.

00:54:51Yippee!

00:54:53The world has become more open.

00:54:55Ticket prices have dropped a lot

00:54:57and tourism, studies and work abroad

00:54:59are booming.

00:55:01Every year, more and more people

00:55:03give up their citizenship

00:55:05and recognize themselves as citizens of the world.

00:55:07Science is developing faster than ever

00:55:09because scientists from all over the world

00:55:11can finally work together.

00:55:13And the study of foreign languages

00:55:15belongs to the past.

00:55:17It looks like the world has become better,

00:55:19but luck also has a dark side.

00:55:21Translators and language teachers

00:55:23lose their jobs.

00:55:25Language schools are closed

00:55:27all over the planet.

00:55:29Dubbers also lose their jobs.

00:55:31You and many other people

00:55:33are forced to learn a new language.

00:55:35You try to prove that sooner or later,

00:55:37luck will cause a disaster.

00:55:39While the whole world communicates

00:55:41in the new language,

00:55:43scientists finish their first international study

00:55:45of the human mind.

00:55:47The number of neural connections,

00:55:49i.e. thoughts and biological processes

00:55:51in the brain, has decreased.

00:55:53Scientists have studied hundreds of thousands

00:55:55of people, divided into three groups.

00:55:57Polyglot people,

00:55:59people who speak only one language

00:56:01and people who are born in the new world

00:56:03and only speak the Luke.

00:56:05Studies show that the human brain

00:56:07has stopped working as before.

00:56:09Before, people tried to understand

00:56:11foreign languages, to speak them

00:56:13and to translate them by training their mind.

00:56:15Now, the parts of the brain

00:56:17that are responsible for this

00:56:19have stopped working.

00:56:21Even if you had never learned a foreign language,

00:56:23you were always used to seeing and hearing

00:56:25words that you did not understand.

00:56:27And your brain was trying

00:56:29to process information.

00:56:31Now, our brains have relaxed.

00:56:33Some say,

00:56:35if there is no other language,

00:56:37what difference does it make?

00:56:39Who cares about a relaxed brain?

00:56:41But that's not all.

00:56:43The human brain has become less good

00:56:45at analyzing information, remembering

00:56:47and finding clever ways

00:56:49to get out of difficult situations.

00:56:51It is difficult for people

00:56:53to learn new knowledge.

00:56:55People's vocabulary

00:56:57People do not even know how to express

00:56:59what they have in mind.

00:57:01The average IQ starts to drop.

00:57:03Learning the languages of the past

00:57:05becomes almost impossible.

00:57:07Some are worried about the future.

00:57:09People could forget their history.

00:57:11Changes in the human brain are one thing,

00:57:13but forgetting our past

00:57:15could be really dangerous.

00:57:17Each language is linked to its geography

00:57:19and its own history.

00:57:21But above all, the language brings

00:57:23cultural diversity to everyday life.

00:57:25For example, there are many more words

00:57:27to describe snow in cold countries,

00:57:29more shades of green in tropical countries,

00:57:31etc., etc.

00:57:33With the look, these little details

00:57:35that make cultures different

00:57:37disappear in a way.

00:57:39Most people now like the same music,

00:57:41watch the same movies.

00:57:43People are starting to lose interest in everything.

00:57:45Imagine that you have saved money

00:57:47for six months to fly

00:57:49to the other side of the world.

00:57:51You arrive there and everyone speaks

00:57:53like your neighbors.

00:57:55They watch the same shows

00:57:57and follow the same influencers as you.

00:57:59Now you can no longer determine

00:58:01where a person grew up thanks to his accent.

00:58:03People speak with the same intonation,

00:58:05use the same sentence structure

00:58:07and the same words.

00:58:09Communication becomes boring.

00:58:11To better express your emotions,

00:58:13you use gestures

00:58:15and body language.

00:58:17Two people arguing

00:58:19start to look like two crazy people.

00:58:21Together, they shudder and get agitated.

00:58:23But the worst is that people

00:58:25start to lose their sense of humor.

00:58:27As there is less vocabulary,

00:58:29there is less reasoning.

00:58:31It becomes difficult to think

00:58:33and even more to speak.

00:58:35Dreams become boring

00:58:37and poetry and lyrics

00:58:39all start to look alike.

00:58:41Yes, life has become much easier.

00:58:43So what?

00:58:45We can easily understand each other,

00:58:47but at the same time we have forgotten

00:58:49to learn something new.

00:58:51The IA continues to try to simplify

00:58:53the look and every year,

00:58:55it's getting easier.

00:58:57Scientists have found that at this rate,

00:58:59people will no longer communicate

00:59:01with simple sounds in a few decades.

00:59:03No one will be able to express

00:59:05his thoughts clearly or explain his actions.

00:59:07Global understanding

00:59:09will soon turn into

00:59:11epic incomprehension.

00:59:13People will simply forget

00:59:15how to convey their thoughts.

00:59:17It's been a difficult time

00:59:19since you lost your job as an interpreter.

00:59:21You spent almost all your waking hours

00:59:23trying to prove that languages are necessary.

00:59:25Fortunately, you and other

00:59:27translators and teachers

00:59:29were finally able to do it.

00:59:31People will never stop using the IA,

00:59:33but the interest in learning

00:59:35ancient languages is reborn.

00:59:37Learning an ancient language

00:59:39becomes the new fashionable thing.

00:59:41There are more language schools than ever.

00:59:43There are only a few people on the planet

00:59:45who speak several ancient languages.

00:59:47You and the other translators

00:59:49have become very rich.

00:59:51Learning languages is now

00:59:53the most popular hobby,

00:59:55and it perfectly develops

00:59:57mental abilities.

00:59:59If before, it was common

01:00:01to have a high-end car,

01:00:03a well-filled bank account

01:00:05and a nice house,

01:00:07now the ability to speak two languages

01:00:09is considered a sign of success.

01:00:11Cinema studios make movies again,

01:00:13songs again,

01:00:15in different languages.

01:00:17The world becomes diversified,

01:00:19interesting and fun.

01:00:21Thank you very much.

01:00:43My mother is a beautiful woman.

01:00:45She is in her forties,

01:00:47just old enough to have lords like me.

01:00:49My father is a big and kind man

01:00:51who listens to my blabla with a tender smile

01:00:53on his bearded face.

01:00:55I saw their pictures from the time,

01:00:57and my father was bald.

01:00:59But now his hair is so thick

01:01:01that mom's hands get lost.

01:01:03He keeps telling me that I would be

01:01:05a good boy when I was young.

01:01:07I love them so much.

01:01:09Well, I'm tired now.

01:01:11The end.

01:01:13Hey, I haven't recorded anything

01:01:15here for a while.

01:01:17I'm 10 now, and it's a great time

01:01:19to be alive, you know?

01:01:21I go to school and I have a lot of friends there.

01:01:23It's so cool to study,

01:01:25and during breaks we play bridge.

01:01:27I love maths and literature.

01:01:29You really have to dig your head

01:01:31to understand these numbers and analyze books.

01:01:33Ah, I read a lot too,

01:01:35so I'm the best in my class.

01:01:37But I can't stand sports,

01:01:39and it's very difficult.

01:01:41Billy is good at it.

01:01:43He says he's going to become an athlete

01:01:45when he's young,

01:01:47and judging by his physique, I think so.

01:01:49OK, break time is over.

01:01:51It's time to go back to my studies.

01:01:53Ebenezer, the end.

01:01:55I'm 20, and life is getting better and better.

01:01:57I just got my university degree.

01:01:59I'm officially a master of science,

01:02:01and I'm thinking of becoming a doctor,

01:02:03but I'm not sure my parents

01:02:05will make it without me.

01:02:07They're too young now,

01:02:09and I'm afraid they'll have problems

01:02:11if I'm not there.

01:02:13Once, Dad went to a party,

01:02:15and he didn't come back for three days.

01:02:17Mom was worried.

01:02:19She gave him a big slap

01:02:21when he finally arrived.

01:02:23But they quickly reconciled.

01:02:25Passionate youth, you know.

01:02:27I hated sports at school,

01:02:29but I love it now.

01:02:31As soon as I get the chance,

01:02:33I'll run in the park

01:02:35because it feels so good

01:02:37to feel my old bones cracking

01:02:39less and less every day.

01:02:41By the way, I have to run again now.

01:02:43See you in 10 years, I guess.

01:02:45Ebenezer, the end.

01:02:47Do you know how hard it is

01:02:49to take care of two septuagenarians?

01:02:51All they want to do is organize

01:02:53noisy parties at home,

01:02:55have pyjama parties every weekend,

01:02:57and argue about insignificant things.

01:02:59Every time I leave the house

01:03:01to go to work,

01:03:03I can't even open the front door

01:03:05because one of their friends

01:03:07decided to take a nap on the porch.

01:03:09And every time I try to talk about it

01:03:11with Mom or Dad,

01:03:13they reprimand me for my insensitivity.

01:03:15Insensitive.

01:03:17They say they raised me to be a good person

01:03:19and that I deserve to have fun

01:03:21like crazy after so many years of hard work.

01:03:23Okay, I give up.

01:03:25The only person who understands me

01:03:27is Felicity.

01:03:29I'm a civil engineer,

01:03:31she's a bit younger than me,

01:03:33but that's okay.

01:03:35She also has to support her parents

01:03:37who are always in a bad mood.

01:03:39She thinks they joined a kind of

01:03:41gothic subculture or something like that

01:03:43and they keep telling her

01:03:45that she's wrong to accept

01:03:47a job as banal as that of a construction supervisor.

01:03:49When we started to hang out,

01:03:51we decided to leave some space for our parents

01:03:53so that we often go on holidays together

01:03:55while they demonize our houses.

01:03:57Oh, here she comes.

01:04:00Hey, do you remember me?

01:04:02These last 10 years have been great.

01:04:04Felicity and I got married

01:04:06and now we take care of our parents together.

01:04:08It's great.

01:04:10They are all 80 years old now

01:04:12and they have fun at the grocery store

01:04:14while we are at work

01:04:16and we take them out for barbecues,

01:04:18outings at amusement parks and foreign parties.

01:04:20They see their retirement pension well

01:04:22and let us take care of it.

01:04:24They say we are the best children they could have

01:04:26and I have never been so proud of my life

01:04:28In fact, it's mom's birthday today

01:04:30and dad and her invited all their friends

01:04:32from kindergarten and their old job.

01:04:34My favorite is Jenny.

01:04:36She's a little malicious, it's true.

01:04:38She scared Felicity and me

01:04:40by hiding under the table

01:04:42while we were preparing dinner

01:04:44and then jumping on us.

01:04:46And Felicity loves Donnie.

01:04:48This old boy seems really serious at first glance

01:04:50but his little smile says a lot about him.

01:04:52And for dessert, I have the best news.

01:04:54Last year, we had our own little piece of cabbage.

01:04:56Can you believe it?

01:04:58We named it Cecilia, as a tribute to her grandmother.

01:05:00Hey Cecilia, say hello!

01:05:02Uh, she's shy.

01:05:04She spends her day sitting in her little chair

01:05:06trying to knit.

01:05:08She can't walk by herself yet

01:05:10so we move her around the house in her chair.

01:05:12She loves it and spends her time laughing.

01:05:14Haha!

01:05:16She's now running after Donnie in the garden with a broom.

01:05:18I think he stole a piece of the birthday cake

01:05:20in the kitchen.

01:05:22I have to go help him, I guess.

01:05:24And there you have it,

01:05:26Ebeneezer finished.

01:05:28Hey, we've been living without our parents

01:05:30for three years now.

01:05:32Last year was the hardest, I guess.

01:05:34I would never have thought that babies

01:05:36needed so many layers.

01:05:38It was also difficult to stop them

01:05:40from falling everywhere they crawled.

01:05:42But Cecilia helped us a lot.

01:05:44She was only seven years old

01:05:46and was just starting to go to school

01:05:48but she loved taking care of them and breastfeeding them.

01:05:50We showed Cecilia pictures of them

01:05:52She didn't recognize them, of course,

01:05:54but they were so old, with grey hair.

01:05:56Meanwhile, Felicity and I

01:05:58are on the path to retirement

01:06:00and we are so impatient.

01:06:02I'm 51 and she's 54,

01:06:04which means we're entering the flower of age.

01:06:06We decided to let Cecilia live on her own

01:06:08when she's young enough.

01:06:10We visited several holiday homes

01:06:12in the country.

01:06:14There's one I love in the mountains.

01:06:16We've done a lot of climbing lately

01:06:18and I feel Felicity is as much of a fan as I am.

01:06:20I'll let you know in about ten years.

01:06:22Ebenezer, over.

01:06:24Hey, it's Ben again.

01:06:26Yes, I changed my name terribly.

01:06:28Ben is much better.

01:06:30What can I say?

01:06:32Being over 60 isn't easy.

01:06:34Felicity is always up for something

01:06:36and I think she's jealous of me

01:06:38because I hang out with Lana.

01:06:40But she doesn't stop saying

01:06:42Dan this, Dan that,

01:06:44as if this Dan was everything she could think of.

01:06:46We argued a lot about this

01:06:48and once I even spent

01:06:50most of my pension

01:06:52in a rental apartment

01:06:54and I stayed there for two weeks.

01:06:56When I got back,

01:06:58we promised to never talk about Lana or Dan again.

01:07:00I feel like Cecilia is a bit annoying with us.

01:07:02She lets us live.

01:07:04A married couple can have a life

01:07:06after retirement, can't they?

01:07:08She calls us every night

01:07:10and threatens to come over

01:07:12if we don't behave.

01:07:14Since when has this old woman

01:07:16been so annoying?

01:07:18Every time he's here,

01:07:20Will says the mountain's top

01:07:22is ready.

01:07:24Here we go for the strong feelings.

01:07:26Ben finished.

01:07:28How to use this?

01:07:30Oh yes, it's Ben.

01:07:32Ebenezer.

01:07:34I'm 72 today,

01:07:36did you know?

01:07:38Cecilia says I have to record something

01:07:40to commemorate this date.

01:07:42I don't know what to say

01:07:44My father, Ebenezer,

01:07:46left this device for posterity.

01:07:48What I am, in a way, I guess.

01:07:50He's 84 now

01:07:52and he mostly stays in bed.

01:07:54But mom tells me a lot of stories

01:07:56about him and his grandmother.

01:07:58I think I'm going to take up his tradition

01:08:00and let his legacy live.

01:08:02Oops, little Benny scratched his diaper.

01:08:04I have to go now.

01:08:06Franklin finished.

01:08:10What if pressing a single button

01:08:12changed your life forever

01:08:14and made it a lot easier?

01:08:16If we were in Minecraft,

01:08:18everything would be possible.

01:08:20Too much work, too many deadlines,

01:08:22boring courses,

01:08:24and you can't go on like this?

01:08:26Change your way of life

01:08:28to a less stressful one.

01:08:30Just press escape,

01:08:32adjust your life difficulty

01:08:34by choosing peaceful, easy, normal

01:08:36or even difficult for those who like challenges.

01:08:38If your teacher is as hostile

01:08:40to black and white,

01:08:42choose peaceful.

01:08:44Monsters don't reproduce.

01:08:46Or buy yourself a cat.

01:08:48Creepers are terrified when they see one.

01:08:50Even if your animal looks a little cubic.

01:08:52Another good news,

01:08:54if your life is in peaceful mode,

01:08:56you don't even need to eat,

01:08:58which could save you a ton of money.

01:09:00As for your appearance,

01:09:02no more acne problems.

01:09:04Now that you are pixelated,

01:09:06no one will ever notice it.

01:09:08If you can't see your hair growing,

01:09:10don't ever change,

01:09:12except if you change your skin.

01:09:14You can't grow or lose weight.

01:09:16Your body proportions are also very different.

01:09:18In our world,

01:09:20the ratio between the head and the body

01:09:22is about 1 in 7,

01:09:24while in Minecraft,

01:09:26it's more like everyone had a baby body

01:09:28with a huge head and a smaller trunk.

01:09:30You wouldn't have fingers,

01:09:32so if you had Minecraft's body in real life,

01:09:34you probably wouldn't be as straight as your hands.

01:09:36I guess there's no surgery in Minecraft.

01:09:38No matter the biome you live in,

01:09:40you don't need clothes

01:09:42against the cold or nice shoes.

01:09:44Life without change means

01:09:46you don't age like we normally do.

01:09:48Happy birthday!

01:09:50The cake you can find in the game

01:09:52isn't made for candles or making wishes.

01:09:54It can only help you if you're hungry.

01:09:56A day-night cycle is a little different now,

01:09:58since 100 days on Minecraft

01:10:00is equivalent to 33 real hours.

01:10:02So,

01:10:04your life expectancy should also change.

01:10:06The average life expectancy in the US

01:10:08is 78 years,

01:10:10which is about 683,000 hours.

01:10:12According to Minecraft,

01:10:14life expectancy would go up to 5,700 years.

01:10:16And you can also resurrect!

01:10:18Ready to live forever?

01:10:20Food isn't that different

01:10:22from what we eat in the real world,

01:10:24even in terms of calories.

01:10:26A whole cake will give you a lot more energy

01:10:28than a simple beetroot.

01:10:30There will also be a few exceptions.

01:10:32A golden egg gives a health supplement in Minecraft.

01:10:34In Minecraft,

01:10:36you can starve for two days,

01:10:38but it takes a little more time in real life.

01:10:40Yes, this past of food

01:10:42is a real challenge,

01:10:44but a human is able to do it.

01:10:46Water, on the other hand,

01:10:48is quite essential in our world,

01:10:50but it doesn't do much for Minecraft players

01:10:52when they drink it.

01:10:54Current agriculture uses certain fertilizers

01:10:56to accelerate plant growth,

01:10:58but if we had this water flour

01:11:00and fertilized their plants,

01:11:02we would have an abundance of fruit and vegetables.

01:11:04Life would be quite boring, though.

01:11:06You wake up today, and you mine.

01:11:08You wake up the next day, and you craft.

01:11:10Sales in detail

01:11:12could never exist with such skilled people,

01:11:14who don't even need it

01:11:16since they are able to create various objects

01:11:18from nothing.

01:11:20Anyway, you don't need that much.

01:11:22You can do almost everything you want

01:11:24with a simple pickaxe,

01:11:26by improving it into a diamond.

01:11:28If you replaced all the rest,

01:11:30all these junk full of useful objects

01:11:32would go bankrupt immediately.

01:11:34But you also need to be a bit more hard-working.

01:11:36If you want to take a nap,

01:11:38there's no way to do it in the Minecraft world.

01:11:40There, you can only sleep at night

01:11:42or if the weather is bad outside.

01:11:44Sleep is essential

01:11:46to not be caught by monsters

01:11:48that appear at nightfall.

01:11:50And you have to make sure

01:11:52there are no monsters nearby

01:11:54before going to bed.

01:11:56If you sleep on a beautiful meadow in the shade,

01:11:58you won't fall asleep like that.

01:12:00It's the same thing for school classes.

01:12:02Even if they are boring,

01:12:04it's impossible to fall asleep.

01:12:06If you're used to watching

01:12:08pop science shows,

01:12:10it's something that probably won't change.

01:12:12Discovery Channel would show

01:12:14not only various biomes and square animals,

01:12:16but also other worlds,

01:12:18like the Nether and the Overworld.

01:12:20Anyway, you won't spend so much time inside.

01:12:22Most activities in Minecraft

01:12:24are outside, so you should go outside

01:12:26very often.

01:12:28Travelling is fun in the Minecraft world.

01:12:30Do you want to visit the Nether?

01:12:32It's a journey to the underground world.

01:12:34No need to buy tickets,

01:12:36go through customs,

01:12:38spend hours on a tiny plane seat.

01:12:40All you need is a bit of lava and water.

01:12:42Pour one on top of the other

01:12:44and you get obsidian.

01:12:46As soon as you've created at least 8 blocks of this substance,

01:12:48build a portal, set fire to it

01:12:50and voilà! Welcome to the Nether!

01:12:52If you travel a lot,

01:12:54you can take your bed with you

01:12:56and build it wherever you want.

01:12:58It's a good idea to avoid expensive hotels,

01:13:00which are missing in the Nether anyway.

01:13:02But it's not just a fun journey.

01:13:04There are a lot of ingredients

01:13:06you might need for the potions.

01:13:08No fantasy memories either,

01:13:10rather useful stuff you'll have extracted

01:13:12from the Nether's exotic blocks.

01:13:14Despite their nickname,

01:13:16the locals, called Zombie Pigmen,

01:13:18are very friendly and never attack,

01:13:20so you don't have to worry about them.

01:13:22The lava can help you travel,

01:13:24be a kind of trash bin and keep intruders away.

01:13:26In the Minecraft world,

01:13:28you can be sure the unexpected guests

01:13:30won't bother you.

01:13:32They'll just fall into the boiling lava.

01:13:34End of story.

01:13:36You can also set up a hook

01:13:38just behind your front door

01:13:40to trigger piston traps for unwanted visitors.

01:13:42Once your guest has triggered the hook,

01:13:44the pistons will remove the cover

01:13:46from the ground

01:13:48and put the visitor in the void.

01:13:50If you go to the seaside,

01:13:52take your front door with you.

01:13:54It'll help you explore the ocean's depths.

01:13:56If you fall into the water,

01:13:58all you need to breathe freely

01:14:00is to place a door above you.

01:14:02No one will be able to hold their breath

01:14:04for more than 24 minutes

01:14:06in real life.

01:14:08But in Minecraft,

01:14:10you can stay underwater almost forever,

01:14:12or as long as you want.

01:14:14Common transports are a lot cooler now.

01:14:16You can still use all the means of transport

01:14:18you're used to,

01:14:20but going around in a wagon

01:14:22can be both fun and fast.

01:14:24All you have to do is build the rails

01:14:26wherever you want, and bye-bye to traffic jams!

01:14:28The laws of physics have also changed,

01:14:30and give you tons of superpowers

01:14:32inaccessible in the real world.

01:14:34You can jump higher,

01:14:36climb any mountain more easily,

01:14:38and run faster,

01:14:40as if this whole gravity thing was a joke.

01:14:42You can build a vertical row of blocks,

01:14:44and even if you break the lowest block,

01:14:46the top one will stay in the air.

01:14:48That doesn't mean you can't fall

01:14:50from a certain height.

01:14:52You can, but it's not dangerous

01:14:54if you overturn the water of a jump

01:14:56just before the impact.

01:14:58Not only can you do all this,

01:15:00but you can also easily cut a massive trunk

01:15:02in a few moves.

01:15:04No tool is necessary,

01:15:06just your bare hands.

01:15:08And without a single scratch.

01:15:10You don't feel the pain in this world.

01:15:13Don't worry,

01:15:15the upper branches of the tree you just cut

01:15:17won't hurt you either,

01:15:19as they will stay suspended in the air.

01:15:21In Minecraft,

01:15:23deforestation is very strange.

01:15:25Can you imagine a forest

01:15:27made of floating trees?

01:15:29No squirrel could ever climb

01:15:31a trunk in such a forest.

01:15:33If you walk around here,

01:15:35you may run into wild animals,

01:15:37like bears and wolves.

01:15:39You can tame the wolves

01:15:42and the bears are not so dangerous for you.

01:15:44All you have to do is trap them

01:15:46inside a fence.

01:15:48It doesn't look very solid,

01:15:50but it's the world of Minecraft,

01:15:52so it's absolutely safe.

01:16:12You run through the jungle

01:16:14through tree branches and thick vines

01:16:16that block your way.

01:16:18You don't know where you're going,

01:16:20but you feel like you can't control your movements.

01:16:22You see a huge rock in front of you.

01:16:24You can't stop running.

01:16:26You're about to hit it.

01:16:28Suddenly, whoop!

01:16:30You're in the air,

01:16:32flying at an incredible speed.

01:16:34Underneath you,

01:16:36you see a steep valley

01:16:38with pointed rocks

01:16:40but you fall back to the ground

01:16:42and keep running without sweating.

01:16:44Taking a look behind you,

01:16:46you see a group of high-tech drones

01:16:48chasing you.

01:16:50There's a bright light in front of you

01:16:52and as soon as you pass it,

01:16:54everything turns black.

01:16:56You find yourself sitting in a dark room

01:16:58with nothing around you

01:17:00trying to solve a difficult riddle.

01:17:02You only have a few seconds to guess

01:17:04or something serious is going to happen.

01:17:06You only have five seconds to find it.

01:17:08You let go of the first thing that comes to mind

01:17:10but your tongue twitches

01:17:12and you say something completely wrong.

01:17:14The expression on your face

01:17:16is that of fear.

01:17:18Everything turns black.

01:17:20You climb on a large ladder

01:17:22but you can't control it.

01:17:24Beneath you,

01:17:26there are countless rows of flat tiles.

01:17:28You finally reach the top of the ladder

01:17:30and you wait to be able to move

01:17:32but you can't.

01:17:34No matter how hard you try,

01:17:36in a few moments,

01:17:38you are able to move some tiles

01:17:40and progress.

01:17:42The only problem is that you can't control

01:17:44the distance you can travel.

01:17:46You land in front of a giant snake

01:17:48longer than two buses

01:17:50from head to tail.

01:17:52Its whistling is terrifying

01:17:54and its claws gurgle venom.

01:17:56Fortunately, you pass by it

01:17:58without it noticing you.

01:18:00But what is it?

01:18:02You land in front of another snake

01:18:04and its claws gurgle venom.

01:18:06Its red scales show you

01:18:08the reflection of your terrified face.

01:18:10The snake swallows you

01:18:12and you slip into the belly of the beast.

01:18:14And through the dark tunnel,

01:18:16you suddenly find yourself

01:18:18where you started.

01:18:20It is impossible to move

01:18:22and you have to go through snakes

01:18:24and ladders.

01:18:26You walk in one of these old sports cars.

01:18:28It's a nice day in London.

01:18:30You pass by Trafalgar Square

01:18:32and things get complicated.

01:18:34As soon as you land in Mayfair,

01:18:36you look at your bank account

01:18:38and you don't understand what's going on.

01:18:40All your accounts are now dry.

01:18:42You have so many bills to pay

01:18:44that it is impossible to settle the rent.

01:18:46You panic.

01:18:48You have no other choice

01:18:50but to mortgage your properties

01:18:52and as if that wasn't enough,

01:18:54you have to sell some of your houses

01:18:56and hotels to pay the rent.

01:18:58All this hard labor

01:19:00You are standing in the middle of an open space.

01:19:02You are stuck in your place and you can't move.

01:19:04The people around you are also stuck in their place.

01:19:06Suddenly,

01:19:08someone moves from two places in front of him.

01:19:10And you realize that everyone around you

01:19:12has a specific movement.

01:19:14Some move diagonally,

01:19:16others forward or laterally.

01:19:18Some can move in L.

01:19:20While everyone moves,

01:19:22you realize that you are the only one

01:19:24to be able to move laterally,

01:19:26forward and even backward.

01:19:28The cool thing is that your movements are unlimited.

01:19:30But there are threats everywhere.

01:19:32Hidden, disguised,

01:19:34in innocent places.

01:19:36And before you realize it,

01:19:38you are one of the few people still standing.

01:19:40All the others have left.

01:19:42The sun has set

01:19:44and the space is even more open than before.

01:19:46You are now one of the main elements of victory.

01:19:48As you continue,

01:19:50there are fewer and fewer people around you.

01:19:52But coming from nowhere,

01:19:54you are placed in a position conducive to victory

01:19:56You are anxious

01:19:58and you can hardly breathe.

01:20:00A crime has been committed in the library.

01:20:02Or maybe not. Who knows?

01:20:04But you are one of the detectives present

01:20:06on the scene to try to understand what happened.

01:20:08All you know is that

01:20:10it happened inside the mansion

01:20:12and you have to find out who committed the crime,

01:20:14with which weapon and in which room.

01:20:16The night is just beginning

01:20:18but the clues are scattered all over

01:20:20and there is no time to waste.

01:20:22Other detectives try to solve the case

01:20:24but you must be faster.

01:20:26You investigate in each passage

01:20:28and corner to try to find an explanation.

01:20:30You look under each lamp,

01:20:32between the curtains,

01:20:34in each crack of each wall,

01:20:36but nothing. Zero.

01:20:38You go around all the rooms

01:20:40but something intrigues you in the dining room.

01:20:42You have already looked there

01:20:44but you did not pay attention to the details.

01:20:46And you may have found the first clue

01:20:48to solve this mystery.

01:20:50After additional research,

01:20:52you will find the object used for the crime.

01:20:54And in a blink of an eye,

01:20:56you have discovered where the culprit acted.

01:20:58You organize a press conference

01:21:00as soon as you are sure of your conclusion.

01:21:02Everyone is waiting to see what you have found

01:21:04and you amaze them with your analysis.

01:21:06The culprit was in the room during all this time.

01:21:08You close the case

01:21:10and unlock the promotion you have always dreamed of.

01:21:12But there are still other cases to solve

01:21:14that are just as difficult.

01:21:16Imagine waking up

01:21:18and not knowing how to speak.

01:21:20You start your day by brushing your teeth

01:21:22and getting dressed, but as soon as you want to leave your apartment,

01:21:24you do not seem to be able to move.

01:21:26As if an invisible barrier

01:21:28was blocking your way.

01:21:30You look at your hand and you see seven random mixed letters.

01:21:32A message appears

01:21:34indicating that you have to compose a word to be able to leave.

01:21:36So you try to find

01:21:38the smartest word you can imagine.

01:21:40But of course, no cheating.

01:21:42You can forget the dictionary.

01:21:44After typing the word, you can access the outside

01:21:46and continue your day.

01:21:48But you can not enter your car.

01:21:50Another invisible barrier blocks you.

01:21:52This time, you look at your hand

01:21:54and you see another random set of seven letters.

01:21:56And you have to find another word.

01:21:58It is more and more difficult to find a solution.

01:22:00Finally, you end up finding a mediocre word

01:22:02but who cares?

01:22:04At the end of your day, you will be an expert in words.

01:22:06You wake up in a dark and humid room.

01:22:08It is cold and foam is scattered

01:22:10on the paved floor.

01:22:12When you get up, you realize that you are wearing

01:22:14a medieval armor.

01:22:16You have a pointed hat.

01:22:18You find a torch in the distance to light the room

01:22:20then you realize that you are in a dungeon.

01:22:22There is a fog through which

01:22:24you can not see beyond a few meters.

01:22:26You venture

01:22:28until you hear a voice coming from above

01:22:30talking to you.

01:22:32The game has begun.

01:22:34You will have to get out of this dungeon

01:22:36avoiding all obstacles on your way.

01:22:38You are endowed with many spells to help you.

01:22:40But be careful, your magic is limited

01:22:42and your enemies are numerous.

01:22:44You look around you

01:22:46and there is no one else.

01:22:48You have your witch's stick

01:22:50and you go into the dungeon.

01:22:52Suddenly, you meet a creature with an eye

01:22:54with drool dripping from its head.

01:22:56It has eight tentacles

01:22:58and emits a menacing growl.

01:23:00You have to find a way to pass the creature.

01:23:02Out of nowhere,

01:23:04you see your spells in front of you.

01:23:06And thanks to a good selection,

01:23:08you know what is the weakness of this monster.

01:23:10You cast a spell of lightning that frightens the creature.

01:23:12The creature flees into the darkness and disappears.

01:23:14You continue your journey

01:23:16to the depths of the dark dungeon

01:23:18and you cross a path full of lava and pierced spikes.

01:23:20But everything is fine

01:23:22because you have a magic shield

01:23:24that protects you from all the dangers that surround you.

01:23:26After defeating countless creatures,

01:23:28you see the light at the end of the tunnel

01:23:30and you manage to get out of the dungeon.

01:23:32You find yourself in an enchanted forest

01:23:34with luxurious trees and a mystical river.

01:23:36Little fairies fly around you.

01:23:38They are very friendly.

01:23:40But when you plunge into the forest,

01:23:42everything starts to change.

01:23:44The trees are dead and the ground seems to be burning.

01:23:46This can only mean one thing.

01:23:48The dragon is very close.

01:23:50But it doesn't matter.

01:23:52You have reached a level enough to face it.

01:23:54You arrive at the entrance of a large cave

01:23:56where the dragon is asleep.

01:23:58But before you have time to react,

01:24:00the dragon wakes up and flies into the air.

01:24:02He spits fire on the trees and on the ground.

01:24:04You cast a spell on some creatures to help you

01:24:06and thanks to numerous spells,

01:24:08you finally manage to defeat the dragon.

01:24:14The ocean becomes red and burning.

01:24:16You try to get closer to see better,

01:24:18but in front of you, the air is getting hotter and hotter.

01:24:20It's as if you were entering an oven.

01:24:22And the sand is also extremely hot,

01:24:24to the point that your rubber shoes

01:24:26start to melt.

01:24:28The ocean has just turned into boiling lava.

01:24:30You start running towards the inside of the lands

01:24:32and you see people running like crazy

01:24:34in all directions.

01:24:36In fact, the lava is made of melted rocks

01:24:38coming from the depths of the Earth.

01:24:40In the middle of our planet,

01:24:42at a distance equivalent to that

01:24:44separating New York from Philadelphia,

01:24:46the heat of the core melts the rocks

01:24:48in the same way that the sun

01:24:50makes the ice disappear.

01:24:52When these rocks melt,

01:24:54their temperature can reach around 1200°C.

01:24:58But don't worry.

01:25:00This only happens very far underground

01:25:02and only in certain specific areas,

01:25:04mainly around the Atlantic Ocean.

01:25:06And these melted rocks

01:25:08only escape from the ground

01:25:10if the pressure is very strong.

01:25:12Then they rise to the surface

01:25:14in the form of a bubbling and burning orange liquid

01:25:16called lava,

01:25:18usually by the neck of a volcano.

01:25:20But for one reason or another,

01:25:22the entire ocean has now turned into lava.

01:25:24And even if from a very distant distance

01:25:26it is a beautiful spectacle,

01:25:28it is extremely dangerous.

01:25:30First of all, you can say goodbye

01:25:32to the ocean,

01:25:34because it is a huge ocean.

01:25:36Unlike water,

01:25:38lava is very thick,

01:25:40closer to the texture of peanut butter.

01:25:42And the wind can't move it.

01:25:44But that also means

01:25:46that nothing can flow or swim there.

01:25:48So even if some oceanic creatures

01:25:50managed to resist

01:25:52the super high temperatures of lava,

01:25:54they couldn't live inside.

01:25:56They would be immediately submerged

01:25:58or, depending on their density,

01:26:00find another place to live

01:26:02if they don't want to disappear.

01:26:04In fact, the only animals on our planet

01:26:06that could survive the heat of lava

01:26:08are tardigrades.

01:26:10These adorable microscopic creatures

01:26:12can survive in any extreme environment,

01:26:14in glaciers

01:26:16and in the hottest volcanoes.

01:26:18They can even survive in space

01:26:20subjected to cosmic rays.

01:26:22You run away from the beach

01:26:24with all the other inhabitants of the surroundings.

01:26:26The atmosphere thickens

01:26:28and you say to yourself,

01:26:30I should have stayed at home.

01:26:32But your home is not really safe either.

01:26:34The heat released by all this lava

01:26:36is by itself intolerable for miles.

01:26:38So no more houses by the sea

01:26:40and seaside resorts.

01:26:42You will have to go as far as possible

01:26:44from the ocean.

01:26:46Most coastal cities

01:26:48will become instantly uninhabitable,

01:26:50especially the areas that the ocean

01:26:52borders on more than one side.

01:26:54Places like Florida, California

01:26:56will no longer be livable at all.

01:26:58And that's not to mention the islands.

01:27:00Most will become so hot that no animal

01:27:02or plant will be able to survive.

01:27:0497% of the planet

01:27:06was made up of seawater

01:27:08and all that has now turned into lava.

01:27:10There can be no snow anywhere on Earth

01:27:12because it is now an incandescent lava ball.

01:27:14Temperatures will increase so much

01:27:16that even in the most remote places

01:27:18on the coast and the highest

01:27:20it will make a heat similar to that

01:27:22of a day of heatwave in a desert.

01:27:24If you keep running away from the ocean,

01:27:26you think you might be dreaming.

01:27:28But you look at your skin, which is so red.

01:27:30Even if you run for miles,

01:27:32the heat will always catch up with you.

01:27:34Oil platforms and ships

01:27:36in the middle of the oceans

01:27:38will also encounter some problems.

01:27:40Made of metal, they will simply

01:27:42turn red and melt

01:27:44in contact with the boiling lava.

01:27:46And even if they don't melt,

01:27:48it's better to hope that no one is on board.

01:27:50But in such a situation,

01:27:52massive evacuations will take place.

01:27:54During this time, at the North and South poles,

01:27:56where the planet is the coldest,

01:27:58all the ice covering the ocean

01:28:00starts to melt instantly.

01:28:02Then the lava cools down and solidifies

01:28:04to form black and rocky terrestrial masses

01:28:06called igneous rocks,

01:28:08whose texture is often glassy.

01:28:10When this happens,

01:28:12huge clouds of vapor and acid gas

01:28:14are released into the air, filling the sky.

01:28:16Scientists call these clouds

01:28:18lava mist.

01:28:20It's a bit like when you get out of your shower

01:28:22and all the heat comes into contact

01:28:24with the outside cold air.

01:28:26Except that this mist would cover

01:28:28all the North and South poles

01:28:30and would be super toxic.

01:28:32It even contains tiny particles of glass

01:28:34that are extremely dangerous.

01:28:36And this mist can go around the world

01:28:38with a strong enough wind

01:28:40and cover almost the entire northern hemisphere.

01:28:42It could also cover the southern part,

01:28:44namely New Zealand, Argentina,

01:28:46South Africa and Australia.

01:28:48The heat emitted by the lava

01:28:50would cause significant damage to the fuselage

01:28:52and would affect all the electronics

01:28:54of the aircraft.

01:28:56It's a good thing you found your oxygen tank.

01:28:58The air is barely breathable at this stage.

01:29:00You head towards your car

01:29:02and move away as quickly as possible.

01:29:04But even your car has been damaged.

01:29:06You go to the countryside

01:29:08where the atmosphere has not yet been affected by the lava.

01:29:10But even here,

01:29:12the temperatures are rising.

01:29:14The river you used to see

01:29:16has dried up.

01:29:18The flora around you

01:29:20is losing its lush green.

01:29:22The animals have migrated to a milder climate.

01:29:24The rivers, as they throw themselves into the ocean,

01:29:26now form mounds of rock

01:29:28lined with glass

01:29:30at the contact of the lava,

01:29:32thus creating permanent natural dams.

01:29:34The rest of the water inside the land,

01:29:36like in ponds and lakes,

01:29:38will eventually evaporate over time.

01:29:40With the rise in temperatures

01:29:42and the absence of precipitation,

01:29:44the oceans will become

01:29:46the most polluted areas on our planet.

01:29:48The huge mass of water in the oceans

01:29:50plays a major role in the creation

01:29:52of clouds and precipitation.

01:29:54Without water in the atmosphere,

01:29:56the heat of the sun

01:29:58would be added to that of the lava.

01:30:00The world would be nothing

01:30:02but a vast, arid wasteland.

01:30:04The nights would be hot

01:30:06and the days, even hotter.

01:30:08However, the lava will eventually cool

01:30:10at the contact of the fresh air.

01:30:12As the lava thickens,

01:30:14it needs time to cool

01:30:16completely inside.

01:30:18All of this will still be super hot,

01:30:20but you won't be directly in contact

01:30:22with the burning lava.

01:30:24This is how many islands

01:30:26have formed.

01:30:28Like the Hawaiian Islands, for example.

01:30:30They are entirely made up of lava

01:30:32from underwater eruptions

01:30:34that dried for hundreds of thousands of years.

01:30:36Layers and layers of solidified lava

01:30:38have accumulated under the ocean

01:30:40until they float to the surface,

01:30:42forming islands and even mountains.

01:30:44Right now,

01:30:46a new terrestrial mass in Hawaii

01:30:48is being formed by an active volcano.

01:30:50Scientists think

01:30:52a new island will be found there in about 10,000 years.

01:30:54But for now,

01:30:56the beautiful blue ocean has turned

01:30:58into a reddish and vaporous mud

01:31:00that will soon become a black and compact desert.

01:31:02But don't think

01:31:04you can easily walk on this ocean.

01:31:06It could take hundreds of years

01:31:08for it to completely cool

01:31:10and turn into solid rock.

01:31:12In the meantime,

01:31:14walking on this dry lava crust

01:31:16would be like walking on a frozen lake.

01:31:18Except that in this case,

01:31:20a single wrong step

01:31:22and you'd end up in boiling lava.

01:31:24Some regions would even take thousands of years

01:31:26to completely solidify.

01:31:28The Mariana Trench,

01:31:30the deepest region of the ocean,

01:31:32is 13 km deep.

01:31:34It would take at least 5,000 years

01:31:36to completely solidify.

01:31:38There are many lava planets.

01:31:40A recently discovered planet,

01:31:42K2-141b,

01:31:44has magma oceans,

01:31:46supersonic winds

01:31:48blowing up to 4,800 km per hour,

01:31:50and even more rocky ones.

01:31:52Yes, this planet is so hot

01:31:54that it evaporates rocks

01:31:56and makes them rain.

01:31:58Don't forget that this planet

01:32:00is much closer to the sun than ours.

01:32:02Maybe these oceans

01:32:04are flying through space

01:32:06in a ship the size of

01:32:08Central Park in New York.

01:32:10There's a lot of excitement.

01:32:12No, it's not an alien

01:32:14invading the ship.

01:32:16It's a very important day.

01:32:18It's January 22, 2700.

01:32:20You've just been born

01:32:22out of the Earth's atmosphere.

01:32:24Happy birthday!

01:32:26A medical team is taking care of everything.

01:32:28Futuristic gadgets are everywhere.

01:32:30And the view from the giant ship

01:32:32in spherical glass

01:32:34is amazing.

01:32:36You can't even see the Earth.

01:32:38The spaceship is flying

01:32:40to a new destination

01:32:42millions of kilometers away.

01:32:44It will take several decades

01:32:46to reach this new home planet.

01:32:48Let's move on.

01:32:50You're now 25,

01:32:52and this spaceship is the only home you've ever known.

01:32:54You've learned to know

01:32:56every corner of the ship.

01:32:58You start your day in your bedroom

01:33:00with a small bathroom,

01:33:02a mini kitchen,

01:33:04a superimposed bed,

01:33:06and a magnificent view of the stars

01:33:08and planets outside the reinforced glass of the ship.

01:33:10And you never have to worry about cosmic radiation.

01:33:12The ship is equipped

01:33:14with a perpetual magnetic shield

01:33:16that reflects its radiation

01:33:18so that it doesn't infiltrate inside.

01:33:20Otherwise, there would be big problems.

01:33:22The ship was designed

01:33:24to have artificial gravity.

01:33:26Astronauts normally lose 1 to 2%

01:33:28of their bone density

01:33:30every month they spend in space,

01:33:32since they only float all the time.

01:33:34But now, or rather in the future,

01:33:36during our travels

01:33:38in interstellar space,

01:33:40we are able to solve this problem.

01:33:42You leave your bedroom

01:33:44and you see a crowd of your colleagues,

01:33:46crew members, going to work.

01:33:48They all slide on their mini-overboard

01:33:50and each one wears

01:33:52a futuristic suit of different colors.

01:33:54Yours is blue.

01:33:56You sit down on your board

01:33:58and join the blue team.

01:34:00You arrive in the underground passage

01:34:02of space transport

01:34:04and you start your work.

01:34:06As an on-board engineer,

01:34:08your mission is very important.

01:34:10To maintain the ship and make it work.

01:34:12But something is not right today.

01:34:14Numbers are flashing everywhere on the panels

01:34:16and this anxious red light

01:34:18doesn't stop flashing.

01:34:20You alert your colleagues,

01:34:22but they don't know what's going on either.

01:34:24You try to explain, but nothing matches.

01:34:26Panic starts to spread

01:34:28throughout the ship.

01:34:30The canvas of your arms is shaking.

01:34:32You try to click on as many buttons

01:34:34and switches as you can.

01:34:36The noise gets louder and louder.

01:34:38The light flashes faster and faster.

01:34:40Some of your colleagues run away

01:34:42and you find yourself alone

01:34:44in the red room.

01:34:46Suddenly, your supervisor finally arrives

01:34:48to help you.

01:34:50After a while, both of you

01:34:52start to understand each other.

01:34:54Phew, that was close!

01:34:56You still have a lot to learn

01:34:58about ship management.

01:35:00For the first few years,

01:35:02you have been assigned to the engineer's position.

01:35:04You were good at physics, chemistry,

01:35:06and mathematics.

01:35:08It's just another day at the office.

01:35:10But on this ship,

01:35:12you may become a captain one day.

01:35:14After work, you receive a call

01:35:16from your friends who want to relax.

01:35:18And when we say call,

01:35:20we mean a phone call.

01:35:22You can also use it

01:35:24to listen to old earth music.

01:35:26Pop music has now become

01:35:28classical music.

01:35:30And movies are now 3D projections

01:35:32of your own imagination.

01:35:34You exit the underground passage

01:35:36and go up to the interstellar square.

01:35:38This is where everyone meets

01:35:40during their free time.

01:35:42There are cafes, restaurants,

01:35:44a hair salon, and even an ice cream parlor.

01:35:46You've never been anywhere else.

01:35:48The interstellar square looks like a small town

01:35:50that has all the things society needs.

01:35:52This includes a biosphere

01:35:54full of animals and plants

01:35:56from different ecosystems on Earth.

01:35:58There are mini-tropical forests,

01:36:00mini-deserts, mini-mountains,

01:36:02everything you can imagine.

01:36:04The biologists on board

01:36:06make sure to keep everything in balance

01:36:08so that you feel at home,

01:36:10even if you've never set foot on Earth.

01:36:12You enter the savannah

01:36:14and see some galloping gazelles,

01:36:16and a small pack of lions.

01:36:18In the jungle,

01:36:20you feel the humidity of the leaves

01:36:22and you're surrounded by thick bushes.

01:36:24A few gorillas are playing

01:36:26and you see some small tree frogs.

01:36:28And in the trees,

01:36:30going down to drink a gorge of water,

01:36:32you see a jaguar.

01:36:34Then you go into the desert

01:36:36where you meet wandering camels,

01:36:38a little snake with a bell

01:36:40trying to escape the heat,

01:36:42and scorpions crawling in the sand.

01:36:44You've been on Earth for the last 25 years.

01:36:46You know everything about it,

01:36:48but you've never been there.

01:36:50That's strange.

01:36:52After visiting the natural habitats,

01:36:54you hear an announcement

01:36:56from the captain.

01:36:58The new planet is a few hours away.

01:37:00We'll be there sooner than expected.

01:37:02Get ready for landing.

01:37:04On board the ship,

01:37:06everyone rushes to their dormitory

01:37:08except for the crew members

01:37:10needed to operate the ship.

01:37:12You look out the window

01:37:14and you see a blue dot in the distance.

01:37:16It's getting bigger and bigger.

01:37:18And it looks a lot like Earth,

01:37:20at least by far.

01:37:22It didn't take that long.

01:37:24Only 25 years.

01:37:26You wonder what's going on

01:37:28under the hood of this spaceship.

01:37:30You see your life in space again

01:37:32knowing that this first part is coming to an end.

01:37:34It's a bit like living in the South Pole.

01:37:36At the bottom of the world

01:37:38lives a small community of scientists

01:37:40doing all kinds of research

01:37:42from climate and geology

01:37:44to meteorology and astronomy.

01:37:46Their lives must be similar

01:37:48to those you lead here in space.

01:37:50They have their own bunkers,

01:37:52their own scientific laboratories

01:37:54and even leisure rooms for sports and music.

01:37:56The nature on the planet you're approaching

01:37:58is nothing like that of Earth.

01:38:00Tropical trees rise higher

01:38:02than the highest skyscrapers.

01:38:04The oceans are shaken by hurricanes

01:38:06that last for years.

01:38:08The pilot announces the landing.

01:38:10Everything is going well.

01:38:12It's time to get to work.

01:38:14You detach yourself and go out

01:38:16to see the new planet by yourself.

01:38:18Walking on dry land gives the impression

01:38:20of arriving on a new planet.

01:38:22The humidity is palpable

01:38:24and the wind is warm.

01:38:26The spaceship lands in the tropical zone of the planet

01:38:28which, according to your studies,

01:38:30is the best place to build

01:38:32a whole new colony.

01:38:34It's not going to be easy.

01:38:36Scientists usually build new colonies

01:38:38next to lakes and rivers.

01:38:40Think of the Mesopotamians,

01:38:42the Egyptians, the Aztecs.

01:38:44The list is long.

01:38:46They started with small colonies

01:38:48until they became mega-civilizations.

01:38:50By trading and exploring,

01:38:52they were able to advance their technology,

01:38:54learn new languages

01:38:56and discover great cooking recipes.

01:38:58Hmm, you'd eat pasta and sushi

01:39:00right now.

01:39:02According to scientists,

01:39:04we could change the appearance of humans.

01:39:06The heads of new humans

01:39:08could be bigger by thousands of generations.

01:39:10Who knows?

01:39:12There's no way to simulate it on Earth.

01:39:14We could even have

01:39:16new skin colors

01:39:18because we'd need more melanin,

01:39:20this pigmentary substance

01:39:22that protects us from the sun's rays.

01:39:24By being closer to the sun

01:39:26or from any mass of burning gas,

01:39:28we'd produce more melanin

01:39:30or different types of melanin

01:39:32We could become dark brown,

01:39:34purple, gray or even green.

01:39:36We'd have to wait a few million years

01:39:38to discover it.

01:39:40And without gravity,

01:39:42humans should get used to

01:39:44a lower bone density,

01:39:46a bit like birds.

01:39:48This means we'd probably be

01:39:50weaker than our ancestors

01:39:52and we'd have strange physical behaviors.

01:39:54Gravity is essential

01:39:56for our balance,

01:39:58and mobility is one of the key factors

01:40:00of human mobility.

01:40:02So, without gravity,

01:40:04we'd probably have exoskeletons

01:40:06to walk and run

01:40:08or even to take out the trash.

01:40:10Well, none of this will happen

01:40:12before a very long time.

01:40:14We're still thinking about

01:40:16how to bring someone

01:40:18into this world

01:40:20or out of this world.

01:40:22Technically speaking,

01:40:24extra-atmospheric space

01:40:26is considered to be

01:40:28infinite.

01:40:30Ok, so you wake up

01:40:32after a big party

01:40:34with your friends,

01:40:36the sun is already

01:40:38at the highest point in the sky,

01:40:40you look at the watch,

01:40:42oh, it's noon,

01:40:44the shop must be already closed.

01:40:46Or at least,

01:40:48that's the little story

01:40:50you like to tell yourself

01:40:52when you don't feel like

01:40:54going shopping.

01:40:56What's this weird smell?

01:40:58Is it...

01:41:00cheese in a plastic bag?

01:41:02It's about the only thing

01:41:04left in your fridge,

01:41:06and the shop is

01:41:08almost four blocks away.

01:41:10So, you have no choice

01:41:12but to take this risk.

01:41:14Mold is often a sign

01:41:16that your food is spoiled,

01:41:18except when it comes to cheese.

01:41:20If you wish,

01:41:22and according to the type of mold,

01:41:24don't worry.

01:41:26Most types of cheese

01:41:28already contain a kind of mold.

01:41:30It's an important part

01:41:32of the cheese making process.

01:41:34There are a few exceptions,

01:41:36like black and grey mold.

01:41:38If you see this kind of thing

01:41:40on soft cheeses,

01:41:42you'll have to throw them away

01:41:44and go back to the supermarket.

01:41:46Unless you live in a flat

01:41:48with a Sardinian guy

01:41:50whose grandma just sent him

01:41:52to his island,

01:41:54the Kazumatsu,

01:41:56aka Zastico cheese.

01:41:58Sardinian cheeses

01:42:00leave their cheese to rot

01:42:02for a very, very long time.

01:42:04And there you go,

01:42:06you end up with a famous

01:42:08speciality that burns your tongue.

01:42:10It's even illegal in some countries.

01:42:12So, before you look for this

01:42:14suspicious piece of cheese

01:42:16in your fridge,

01:42:18check if anything moves inside.

01:42:20Take eggshells.

01:42:22If they're organic,

01:42:24boil them and cook them

01:42:26at 205°C.

01:42:28When they're crispy,

01:42:30powder them and put them

01:42:32on your omelette.

01:42:34Eggshells are a good source

01:42:36of calcium and are cheap,

01:42:38so it's worth a try.

01:42:40If you have to face a disaster,

01:42:42take your tent, your blanket

01:42:44and your lamp and take refuge

01:42:46in the woods.

01:42:48Don't be afraid to starve.

01:42:50Yes, our ancestors ate

01:42:52scorpions since ancient times.

01:42:54Cinnamon scorpion is one of the most popular.

01:42:56Wouldn't it be great

01:42:58if you didn't have to do the dishes

01:43:00after each meal?

01:43:02Yes, I'm talking about plates and cutlery

01:43:04that you could eat right after using them.

01:43:06It's not a new concept.

01:43:08There are edible plates

01:43:10like tortillas, ice cream cones.

01:43:12An Indian company

01:43:14even makes edible cutlery

01:43:16from wheat and millet flour

01:43:18for more than 10 years.

01:43:20Now, if they could just invent

01:43:22an edible cake pan...

01:43:24Ah, do you remember the good old days

01:43:26when you were younger and no one

01:43:28gave you weird looks when you ate chalk?

01:43:30It happened to my friend, yes.

01:43:32Well, in its purest form,

01:43:34chalk is just calcium carbonate.

01:43:36You won't get any special benefits

01:43:38for your health by eating it.

01:43:40But it's a non-toxic and natural substance

01:43:42that won't do any harm

01:43:44to you or your body.

01:43:46People who eat it

01:43:48are usually affected by pica,

01:43:50a disease that makes them eat

01:43:52things that are not food.

01:43:54People affected by this disease

01:43:56want to eat, among other things, paper.

01:43:58One of the reasons could be

01:44:00that paper is full of fiber

01:44:02and that they may suffer

01:44:04from a lack of it.

01:44:06Paper is not at all nutritious.

01:44:08In addition, it is chemically treated,

01:44:10so it is better not to approach it.

01:44:12It's time to eat clay.

01:44:14In some regions of the world,

01:44:16people use it to alleviate the lack of zinc.

01:44:18Of course, it has to be a special clay,

01:44:20purified and clean for consumption.

01:44:22Mud

01:44:24Oh, back to the good old days,

01:44:26going to the garden to make

01:44:28fake mud cakes.

01:44:30It's not as if you had to eat dirt every day,

01:44:32but if you can talk to a nutrition expert,

01:44:34you may discover that eating

01:44:36a little bit of good mud

01:44:38is not so bad.

01:44:40Mud contains tons of minerals,

01:44:42if they are made especially

01:44:44without chemical products or other.

01:44:46Mud is one of the healthiest

01:44:48edible things you can find.

01:44:50It contains vitamins, iron,

01:44:52antioxidants, whey,

01:44:54it's very nutritious,

01:44:56and even better, you can find it literally everywhere.

01:44:58Cactus

01:45:00It certainly looks like a plant

01:45:02that you should avoid,

01:45:04but if you clean it and prepare it properly,

01:45:06you can add it to desserts, salads,

01:45:08soups, breads, drinks,

01:45:10anything you want.

01:45:12It has a taste, well,

01:45:14a little bit sticky to be honest.

01:45:16Don't forget to check that you have removed all the thorns.

01:45:18Have you ever

01:45:20walked around looking at the sky,

01:45:22when suddenly you see a nest of birds

01:45:24and you say to yourself,

01:45:26oh, that could be my dinner tonight.

01:45:28Yeah, not really, but edible nests

01:45:30have a real success in several countries.

01:45:32They are nutritious, have a unique taste,

01:45:34and yes, they are made from the saliva

01:45:36of a very specific species of bird.

01:45:38They are extremely dangerous to harvest

01:45:40and difficult to prepare.

01:45:42So if you are interested

01:45:44in buying this kind of thing,

01:45:46don't forget to go to the distributor before.

01:45:48It can cost up to $4,000 per pound.

01:45:50Another very expensive item

01:45:52ready to be consumed,

01:45:54gold.

01:45:56Not that you can eat your mother's necklace

01:45:58if you want a good snack,

01:46:00but glitter or gold leaf

01:46:02are often used to decorate food,

01:46:04as a dessert.

01:46:06Gold is actually inert,

01:46:08so that it does not cause any chemical reaction

01:46:10in your body and can pass directly

01:46:12into your digestive system

01:46:14without being absorbed.

01:46:16I was going to make a joke about gold leaf,

01:46:18but no, I won't.

01:46:20Some cultures used to boil,

01:46:22tenderize and mince

01:46:24leather when it had no more food.

01:46:26Even if you wanted to try today,

01:46:28you can't because

01:46:30nowadays leather is chemically treated,

01:46:32so it's practically forbidden.

01:46:34What would you do

01:46:36if you came across a tarantula?

01:46:38If it's in Cambodia,

01:46:40a tarantula stand,

01:46:42well, eat it.

01:46:44It's a classic Cambodian snack.

01:46:46It is said that the taste of the tarantula

01:46:48is similar to that of the crab,

01:46:50so, hmm, yeah,

01:46:52you'll tell me if it's true.

01:46:54Tarantulas are certainly more expensive

01:46:56than otters,

01:46:58which can also be found

01:47:00rich in protein

01:47:02and quite edible.

01:47:04Of course, all these little things

01:47:06must be raised and prepared by experts.

01:47:08You can't just walk around

01:47:10picking up random insects

01:47:12and eating them.

01:47:14P.S. It's said that tarantulas

01:47:16taste like sardines.

01:47:18Do you want to try?

01:47:20A normal afternoon,

01:47:22you're sitting on your couch

01:47:24in front of the TV

01:47:26wondering which snack

01:47:28is better than tarantula cookies.

01:47:30Yeah, the next trend

01:47:32is tarantula-stuffed cookies.

01:47:34Hmm, these tarantula rice crackers

01:47:36come from Japan.

01:47:38Tarantulas are raised specially

01:47:40just to end up in these cookies.

01:47:42And no, the manufacturers

01:47:44don't walk around town with a net.

01:47:46Another unusual thing in Japan

01:47:48is the globefish, Fugu.

01:47:50You need a lot of professional experience

01:47:52to prepare it well,

01:47:54because it's full of toxic poison.

01:47:56A good portion can cost you

01:47:58up to $120.

01:48:00Once the chef separates the poisoned parts,

01:48:02they are thrown into a metal container

01:48:04which is locked with a padlock.

01:48:06It is then transported

01:48:08to a certified fish market

01:48:10to be burned.

01:48:12It's too toxic to be put in the trash.

01:48:14Imagine that your job

01:48:16is to pick up ant eggs

01:48:18and that you're paid per kilo.

01:48:20How long would it take to pick up enough?

01:48:22Well, if you move to Laos,

01:48:24you may discover it.

01:48:26They have one of the most

01:48:28special soups in the country,

01:48:30the soup with white ant eggs.

01:48:32The taste is a bit like that of shrimp,

01:48:34so it's worth a try.

01:48:36Or you can just take a shrimp soup,

01:48:38that said, now that I think about it.

01:48:40100-year-old eggs

01:48:42are something you can find in China

01:48:44and no, sorry people,

01:48:46they are not thousands,

01:48:48hundreds or even tens of years old.

01:48:50It usually takes a few months

01:48:52to prepare them,

01:48:54but the way they are made

01:48:56is quite interesting.

01:48:58They are immersed in clay or mud.

01:49:00It's a technique that the Chinese

01:49:02have been practicing for centuries.

01:49:04It helps preserve all the

01:49:06great benefits of eggs.

01:49:08So what happens inside the egg?

01:49:10Basically, ammonia and sulfur

01:49:12accumulate in the yolk

01:49:14and we observe strange patterns

01:49:16resembling snowflakes

01:49:18and an amber color

01:49:20and a strong smell of ammonia.

01:49:22Oh, the beauty of food that smells bad.

01:49:24Yeah.

01:49:26It's a beautiful day

01:49:28for a boat trip in the swamps.

01:49:30If there were no mosquitoes,

01:49:32the day would be perfect.

01:49:34But for some unknown reason,

01:49:36the mosquitoes continue to grow

01:49:38as you plunge into the swamp.

01:49:40At first, they were only tiny insects,

01:49:42almost invisible,

01:49:44and they can now be the size

01:49:46of your thumb.

01:49:48You dig deeper to find out

01:49:50why they are so big.

01:49:52Finally, you see a large swarm of mosquitoes

01:49:54the size of your hand,

01:49:56they notice you and start flying towards you.

01:49:58You catch a branch

01:50:00and you start whipping the air to crush them.

01:50:02You run to your boat

01:50:04and try to escape, but they follow you

01:50:06and some manage to land on you.

01:50:08You crush them,

01:50:10but others the size of a basketball

01:50:12come out of nowhere.

01:50:14You start your boat and return

01:50:16to the mainland.

01:50:18When you arrive, you see everyone running away,

01:50:20panicking because of the giant mosquitoes.

01:50:22Some of them are as massive

01:50:24as two big dogs.

01:50:26People take refuge under the picnic tables

01:50:28while others run to their cars

01:50:30and start running.

01:50:32You get off your boat

01:50:34and run to the nearest supermarket

01:50:36at the same time as dozens of people.

01:50:38Employees lock the doors,

01:50:40but through the large windows

01:50:42you can see the mosquitoes multiplying.

01:50:44Some are bigger

01:50:46and some are as big as a car

01:50:48passing by.

01:50:50It is so heavy that it landed on an empty car

01:50:52and crushed it.

01:50:54People crowd at the back of the store.

01:50:56You try to calm everyone

01:50:58and tell them not to make any noise.

01:51:00Mosquitoes land on the window

01:51:02and block the natural light.

01:51:04It starts to get dark inside.

01:51:06Someone increases the volume of the TV

01:51:08to broadcast the latest news.

01:51:10Mosquitoes spread all over the continent

01:51:12destroying natural resources

01:51:14and invading cities.

01:51:16People are invited to stay inside

01:51:18until further notice.

01:51:20Mosquitoes notice that people are in the store

01:51:22so they try to force their way in.

01:51:24A mosquito the size of a car

01:51:26flies into the sky,

01:51:28unaware of what is happening down there.

01:51:30Everyone hears the noise coming from the back of the store.

01:51:32Employees realize

01:51:34that they haven't locked the door.

01:51:36A big mosquito comes in

01:51:38and turns everything upside down.

01:51:40People panic and throw objects at it.

01:51:42Some people take a fire extinguisher

01:51:44and wait for it to fly away

01:51:46towards the back of the store.

01:51:48Employees lock the door

01:51:50and the barricade

01:51:52so that nothing can enter.

01:51:54Everyone waits nervously.

01:51:56The TV broadcasts a live report

01:51:58on the giant mosquitoes that fly everywhere.

01:52:00A helicopter is forced to land

01:52:02because mosquitoes fly furiously into the sky.

01:52:04Everyone shivers

01:52:06hearing the noise of other mosquitoes

01:52:08buzzing near the back door.

01:52:10Hours go by

01:52:12and other mosquitoes keep coming.

01:52:14There is no one outside.

01:52:16A large part of the urban development

01:52:18and the park is destroyed

01:52:20or invaded by giant insects.

01:52:22Some people

01:52:24squint as they can

01:52:26while others sleep.

01:52:28A special bulletin interrupts the report

01:52:30and shows that there would be armored buses

01:52:32ready to take people

01:52:34near the picnic area on the highway.

01:52:36People will not go to the city center

01:52:38because it would be too dangerous.

01:52:40The only way to get on board

01:52:42is to be on the highway in two hours.

01:52:44Everyone tries to call their loved ones

01:52:46but the phone towers have been destroyed

01:52:48and no one can call anyone.

01:52:50The mosquito that introduced itself

01:52:52a moment ago destroyed the only fixed line

01:52:54that was present.

01:52:56People argue

01:52:58to know if they should stay or leave.

01:53:00Other insects cover the only clear areas

01:53:02of the sky until the sun disappears.

01:53:04People are divided into two groups.

01:53:06Those who want to leave to take the bus

01:53:08and those who want to stay.

01:53:10Employees know a crossroad

01:53:12that can quickly lead to the highway.

01:53:14The only problem is that it will take

01:53:16about 20 minutes on foot

01:53:18because there are no more cars on the road.

01:53:20The path is delicate.

01:53:22First, you will have to escape through the main entrance

01:53:24and head towards the forest

01:53:26behind the rubbish bins.

01:53:28There, you will have to enter a building

01:53:30and then go down the sewers

01:53:32until you reach the highway.

01:53:34The first group decides to leave.

01:53:36They prepare supplies for the escape.

01:53:38Every second, new mosquitoes arrive

01:53:40darkening the sky.

01:53:42People equip themselves with everything

01:53:44they can find to protect themselves.

01:53:46Mosquitoes are attracted by the carbon dioxide

01:53:48that people exhale

01:53:50and they know that there is a source

01:53:52from the store.

01:53:54Once everyone is ready,

01:53:56the expedition members take torches

01:53:58and light them up.

01:54:00You are part of the group

01:54:02who plans to escape.

01:54:04The doors open and everyone

01:54:06runs away behind the rubbish bin.

01:54:08Many mosquitoes try to attack you

01:54:10but the smoke of the fire repels them.

01:54:12Every second, new mosquitoes invade

01:54:14the sky and the surroundings.

01:54:16Many people end up running into the store

01:54:18because they could not pass the rubbish bin

01:54:20to reach our building.

01:54:22Finally, the rest of the group,

01:54:24including you, run towards the building

01:54:26but it is locked and no one can

01:54:28open the doors.

01:54:30Plan B is to break a window

01:54:32and crawl inside.

01:54:34You grab a stone and break the window

01:54:36closest to you.

01:54:38The only problem is that mosquitoes

01:54:40can follow you inside.

01:54:42So, without any other option,

01:54:44you run to the basement of the building

01:54:46to find the sewer entrance.

01:54:48Phew, you found it and everyone goes down.

01:54:50No mosquitoes in sight,

01:54:52only rats.

01:54:54You plunge into the water

01:54:56but you should reach the river

01:54:58in a few minutes.

01:55:00The problem is that the sewer

01:55:02does not lead to the lake

01:55:04but somewhere at the bottom of the sewers.

01:55:06You follow it anyway until you see

01:55:08what looks like an exit.

01:55:10So you go out and you find yourself

01:55:12near a collector where all the water

01:55:14thrown away leads next to the swamp.

01:55:16The only problem is that you are no longer

01:55:18next to the highway and that time is running out.

01:55:20New mosquitoes invade the air

01:55:22but they do not really bother

01:55:24you.

01:55:26You notice creatures the size of cats

01:55:28floating on the water.

01:55:30They are mosquito babies or larvae

01:55:32and they come to you.

01:55:34You and everyone else swim

01:55:36to save your life until they arrive.

01:55:38The giant alpha mosquito

01:55:40flies into the air and plunges into the water

01:55:42to try to catch someone

01:55:44but fails.

01:55:46Everyone arrives at the thick swamp

01:55:48where no giant mosquito can enter.

01:55:50You cover yourself with branches

01:55:52to protect yourself.

01:55:54It remains 15 minutes before the arrival of the armored bus

01:55:56since mosquitoes cannot enter

01:55:58and it will be the best place to hide in the meantime.

01:56:00The darkness falls

01:56:02and still no bus.

01:56:04It's been 3 hours and nothing.

01:56:06Mosquitoes are still buzzing

01:56:08and everyone feels uncomfortable

01:56:10under the thick bushes.

01:56:12After a while you hear an engine

01:56:14and see lights flashing on the highway.

01:56:16Everyone gets up and runs to the bus

01:56:18but you stop them

01:56:20and pay attention to the mosquitoes.

01:56:22You voluntarily wear yourself to hide

01:56:24and stop the bus.

01:56:26Then everyone else can follow

01:56:28without drawing too much attention.

01:56:30You move some branches,

01:56:32make some tree barks

01:56:34and crawl to the highway.

01:56:36You try to hold your breath

01:56:38so as not to make too much noise.

01:56:40You reach the edge of the road

01:56:42and shake your arms to stop the bus.

01:56:44It stops and the door opens.

01:56:46You tell the rest of the people to come

01:56:48and you are safe.

01:56:50Some mosquitoes notice you

01:56:52and start to sting the bus.

01:56:54But the armor is strong.

01:56:56The bus goes in search of other people

01:56:58along the road and suddenly

01:57:00a real colossus lands in front of it.

01:57:02The bus stops

01:57:04and you see a mosquito the size of a Boeing 747.

01:57:06It looks you straight in the eyes.

01:57:08It prepares to attack

01:57:10but the bus accelerates under its legs

01:57:12and leaves.

01:57:14The mosquito flies away

01:57:16but you enter a tunnel

01:57:18that leads to the other side of the mountain.

01:57:20After a few minutes

01:57:22you arrive in an open area

01:57:24without trees or buildings.

01:57:26The bus accelerates while avoiding

01:57:28the obstacles on its way.

01:57:30Finally, you notice that you are near the supermarket

01:57:32where you were refugees.

01:57:34The bus opens the door

01:57:36so that all the people inside

01:57:38are taken to a safe area.

01:57:40Volunteers explain that the whole world

01:57:42is invaded by these giant creatures.

01:57:44By the way, you see a hybrid mosquito

01:57:46with two heads and a scorpion tail.

01:57:48It is as big as the Statue of Liberty

01:57:50and it is ready to attack.

01:57:52This causes the abnormal growth

01:57:54of these mosquitoes

01:57:56but also turns them into hybrids and mutants.

01:57:58The day had started so well.
