After this attempt failed and saw 200,000 workers die, the project of building a canal was attempted and completed by the United States in Panama in 1914. http://rapidshare.com/files/86173236/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/86173235/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/86173241/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/86173295/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/86201827/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/86201853/Horizon_-_Canal_in_the_Jungle.part6.rar Fermat’s Last Theorem (15 January 1996) At the age of ten, browsing through his public library, Andrew Wiles stumbled across the world’s greatest mathematical puzzle. Fermat’s Last Theorem had baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. But from that day, little Andrew dreamed of solving it. Horizon tells the story of his obsession, and how, thirty years later, he gave up everything to achieve his childhood dream. http://rapidshare.com/files/47885175/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47890417/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47895458/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47864023/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47868557/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47872988/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47878353/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47879988/Horizon_-_Fermat_s_Last_Theorem.part8.rar The Time Lords (2 December 1996) Horizon investigates the physics of wormholes and the limitations physics places on the possibility of time travel. http://rapidshare.com/files/59593487/Horizon_-_The_Time_Lords.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/59570983/Horizon_-_The_Time_Lords.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/59578634/Horizon_-_The_Time_Lords.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/59583509/Horizon_-_The_Time_Lords.part4.rar Noah’s Flood (16 December 1996) Follows the work of geologists Bill Ryan and Walter Pitman, who for twenty five years have been investigating evidence for the location of the biblical flood and Noah’s Ark. http://rapidshare.com/files/64869488/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64822783/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64829259/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64836174/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64843279/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64850450/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64858130/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/64861885/Horizon_-_Noah_s_Flood.part8.rar Ice Mummies – Part 1 – The Ice Maiden (30 January 1997) The results and conclusions drawn by the world’s leading scientific experts from the investigations following the discovery, in various parts of the world, of ancient dead bodies mummified by ice, thus preserving a lot of their secrets.

Examines the question of how far the brain can over-ride disease or physical problems. http://rapidshare.com/files/53393777/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53378829/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53386485/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53513673/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53518350/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53523721/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53529516/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53531132/Horizon_-_The_Man_Who_Lost_His_Body.part8.rar Antarctica – The Ice Lives (12 March 1998) Report on the possibility of colonising Antarctica, Earth’s most hostile environment, focusing on the scientists who are acting as pioneers into the freezing wilderness, eager to learn the survival techniques of the continent’s many wildlife species http://rapidshare.com/files/94547720/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94554566/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94115271/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94115196/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94115314/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94115228/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94398713/Horizon_-_Antarctica_2_-_The_Ice_Lives.part7.rar Antarctica – The Ice Forms (19 March 1998) The second of three documentaries exploring Antarctica focuses on the mystery of how the ice-covered continent was originally formed. New evidence suggests incredibly powerful geological forces were responsible : a theory which flies in the face of received scientific wisdom http://rapidshare.com/files/94472305/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94485440/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94488550/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94509245/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94515254/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94527068/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94534406/Horizon_-_Antarctica_1_-_The_Ice_Forms.part7.rar Antarctica – The Ice Melts (26 March 1998) Last of the three documentaries about Antarctica.

It could do the unthinkable – it took the risk out of playing the money-markets. To its inventors it brought the Nobel Prize for economics. To those who used it, it brought great wealth. But this glittering tale would end in tragedy. http://rapidshare.com/files/85734103/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85732853/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85736661/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85733911/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85733332/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85733471/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/85733734/Horizon_-_The_Midas_Formula_Stockmarket_Formula.part7.rar Living Forever (4 January 2000) In the 21st century, will scientists reach the Holy Grail – will they discover the fountain of youth? Will we live forever? Scientists are now close to understanding the biological mechanisms that make us age and make us die. A few decades ago, no-one thought we could add years to life. The maximum life-span possible for humans was believed to be a hundred or so – and all because of an immutable genetic clock. http://rapidshare.com/files/71634492/Horizon_-_Living_Forever.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/71625697/Horizon_-_Living_Forever.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/71629053/Horizon_-_Living_Forever.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/71632457/Horizon_-_Living_Forever.part4.rar Extreme Dinosaurs The Science Of Giants (23 November 2000) Horizon follows the scientists to Argentina as they unearth a brand new species of dinosaur; the biggest carnivore ever discovered. Not yet named, this new creature is even bigger than T. rex, the so-called ‘king’ of the carnivores. The new giant South American predator had a skull bigger than a man that was full of serrated, knife-like teeth and long powerful jaw muscles. They could dissect their prey with almost surgical precision. http://rapidshare.com/files/47846155/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47849371/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47852911/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47856386/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47834508/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47838309/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47841670/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47842769/Horizon_-_Extreme_Dinosaurs_The_Science_Of_Giants.part8.rar Supermassive Black Holes (30 November 2000) n June 2000, astronomers made an extraordinary discovery. One that promises to solve one of the biggest problems in cosmology – how and why galaxies are created. Incredibly, the answer involves the most weird, destructive and terrifying objects in the Universe – supermassive black holes. Scientists are beginning to believe that these forces of pure destruction actually help trigger the birth of galaxies and therefore are at the heart of the creation of stars, planets and all life. http://rapidshare.com/files/52516052/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52523088/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52461027/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52469503/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52477853/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52486576/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52494686/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/52498940/Horizon_-_Supermassive_Black_Holes.part8.rar Atlantis Reborn Again (14 December 2000) Although scientists believe they have categorically disproved the myth of Atlantis, the idea is more popular now than ever before. The latest exponent of the theory of a single lost source for all civilisation, is Graham Hancock. Although he doesn’t call it Atlantis, his compelling ideas about a sophisticated society destroyed in a flood 12,000 years ago seem to be based on a reworking of the original Atlantis myth, whose survivors brought culture, religion, monument-building and civilisation to the rest of the world. Horizon puts Graham Hancock’s controversial theories about the past to the test, dissecting his evidence for a lost civilisation. http://rapidshare.com/files/94436845/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94497633/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94446522/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94447994/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94457593/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94458955/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/94470423/Horizon_-_Atlantis_Reborn_Again.part7.rar Life on Mars (18 January 2001) If there’s life on Mars, it would be one of the most important discoveries of all time. It would mean life on Earth was not some special unique event – it would mean there’s likely to be life throughout the Universe. http://rapidshare.com/files/51958714/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51970173/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51975683/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51979456/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51983834/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51988735/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51993778/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/51995412/Horizon_-_Life_on_Mars.part8.rar Death Star (18 October 2001) Out in deepest space lurks a force of almost unimaginable power. Explosions of extraordinary violence, are blasting through the Universe every day. If one ever struck our Solar System it would destroy our Sun and all the planets. For years no one could work out what was causing these awesome explosions. Now scientists think they have identified the culprit. It’s the most extreme object ever found in the Universe; they have christened it a ‘hypernova’. http://rapidshare.com/files/68062971/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68070569/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68020312/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68025921/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68041582/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68047734/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68054064/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/68060874/Horizon_-_Death_Star.part8.rar Cloning The First Human (25 October 2001) There is another question that few ever ask: is the science actually ready yet for cloning healthy humans? Horizon follows the latest research, which has led many scientists to believe that Zavos and Antinori’s plans to clone the first human could end in tragedy. The programme also meets couples like Matthew and Desirée Racquer (above) who think cloning offers them the only way to raise a child who is truly their own. http://rapidshare.com/files/47764909/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47716487/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47724525/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47731517/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47739191/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47747761/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47613543/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/47616914/Horizon_-_Cloning_The_First_Human.part8.rar The Lost Pyramids Of Cara (31 January 2002) The magnificent ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru hit the headlines in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilisation in the Americas and, at 2,627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt. Many now believe it is the fabled missing link of archaeology – a ‘mother city’. If so, then these extraordinary findings could finally answer one of the great questions of archaeology: why did humans become civilised? http://rapidshare.com/files/53573891/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53580860/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53536557/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53542522/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53549106/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53557042/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53564320/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/53566548/Horizon_-_The_Lost_Pyramids_Of_Cara.part8.rar The Dinosaur That Fooled The World (21 February 2002) In the mid 1800s, when Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, one species of animal remained a mystery; where did birds fit on his evolutionary tree? Several years later his friend and colleague, Thomas Henry Huxley, came up with an answer. Huxley had recently examined a new fossil from southern Germany called Archaeopteryx which was causing considerable excitement in palaeontological circles. There were clear signs of feathers and it was obvious this was the earliest fossil evidence of a bird ever found. Huxley noticed something else as well. To him it looked as though the skeleton bore a striking similarity to that of a family of meat eating dinosaurs known as therapods. http://rapidshare.com/files/89267362/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89267451/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89222443/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89245788/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89246045/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89246209/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89246351/Horizon_-_The_Dinosaur_That_Fooled_The_World.part7.rar Freak Wave (14 November 2002) The world’s oceans claim on average one ship a week, often in mysterious circumstances. With little evidence to go on, investigators usually point at human error or poor maintenance but an alarming series of disappearances and near-sinkings, including world-class vessels with unblemished track records, has prompted the search for a more sinister cause and renewed belief in a maritime myth: the wall of water.

Hunting a hidden city of gold, his expedition found a network of farms, villages and even huge walled cities. At least that is what he told an eager audience on his return to Spain. The prospect of gold drew others to explore the region, but none could find the people of whom the first Conquistadors had spoken.

Through his observations of nature, Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection. This caused uproar. After all, if the story of creation could be doubted, so too could the existence of the creator. Ever since its proposal, this cornerstone of biology has sustained wave after wave of attack. Now some scientists fear it is facing the most formidable challenge yet: a controversial new theory called intelligent design. http://rapidshare.com/files/92774056/Horizon_-_A_War_on_Science.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/92774474/Horizon_-_A_War_on_Science.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/92773845/Horizon_-_A_War_on_Science.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/92773717/Horizon_-_A_War_on_Science.part4.rar Moon For Sale (10 April 2007) After 40 years, man is preparing to return to the Moon.

Heading out with his film crew on a road trip across the USA, Brian fires lasers at the moon in Texas, goes mad in the desert in Arizona, encounters the bending of space and time at a maximum security military base, tries to detect ripples in our reality in the swamps of Louisiana and searches for hidden dimensions just outside Chicago. http://rapidshare.com/files/87687675/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87691095/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87714777/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87715281/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87715482/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87687614/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87687713/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/87687603/Horizon_-_What_on_Earth_is_wrong_with_gravity.part8.rar Is alcohol worse than ecstasy? (5 February 2008) Recent research has analysed the link between the harmful effects of drugs relative to their current classification by law with some startling conclusions. Perhaps most startling of all is that alcohol, solvents and tobacco (all unclassified drugs) are rated more dangerous than ecstasy, 4-MTA and LSD (all class A drugs). If the current ABC system is retained, alcohol would be rated a class A drug and tobacco class B. http://rapidshare.com/files/89489696/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89496170/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89522238/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89522470/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89489722/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89490070/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89489761/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/89489740/Horizon_-_Is_alcohol_worse_than_ecstasy.part8.rar How to make better decisions (13 February 2008) We are bad at making decisions.

Science of superstormsThe Science Of Superstorms highlights some of the futuristic weather modification research that Superstorm is based upon. This ranges from cloud seeding, currently the only proven form of weather control, to distant perturbation, the brain child of the world’s foremost hurricane expert, Professor Kerry Emmanuel at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). In addition to looking at the future, The Science Of Superstorms explores how weather modification has been used in the past: from Project Stormfury, the first attempt to divert hurricanes over half-a-century ago, to the use of weather seeding during the Vietnam War, to the experiments being conducted by governments around the world today. Because of global warming, the pressure has never been greater to come up with viable means of modifying the weather in order to reduce the impact of extreme conditions.

The Mystery of the Human HobbitOn the far-flung island of Flores, in the Indonesian archipelago, a team of archaeologists happened upon a tiny 18,000-year old skeleton. It was no more than a metre tall. They assumed they have found the remains of a young girl. But other signs suggested she was in fact much older. They had discovered one of the smallest human adults ever found. As the dig continued, the evidence unearthed got stranger. The diggers found elephants the size of cows, rats the size of dogs, lizards the size of crocodiles. It was like stepping with Alice into Wonderland. It was not just the humans that were peculiarly sized, everything large had shrunk and everything small had grown. Further digging uncovered spear points scattered among the bones of the pygmy elephants that appear to have been roasted on fires. It seemed that their tiny human must have been a skilled and intelligent hunter. Yet when they looked more closely at her skeleton, they discovered her brain was smaller than any other known human and no bigger than a chimpanzee’s… http://rapidshare.com/files/78735250/BBC_-_Horizon_-_2005_-_The_Mystery_Of_The_Human_Hobbit.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/78736859/BBC_-_Horizon_-_2005_-_The_Mystery_Of_The_Human_Hobbit.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/78738400/BBC_-_Horizon_-_2005_-_The_Mystery_Of_The_Human_Hobbit.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/78739904/BBC_-_Horizon_-_2005_-_The_Mystery_Of_The_Human_Hobbit.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/78740773/BBC_-_Horizon_-_2005_-_The_Mystery_Of_The_Human_Hobbit.part5.rar |

Atlantis Reborn AgainHorizon puts Graham Hancock’s controversial theories about the past to the test, dissecting his evidence for a lost civilisation. Although scientists believe they have categorically disproved the myth of Atlantis, the idea is more popular now than ever before. The latest exponent of the theory of a single lost source for all civilisation, is Graham Hancock. Although he doesn’t call it Atlantis, his compelling ideas about a sophisticated society destroyed in a flood 12,000 years ago seem to be based on a reworking of the original Atlantis myth, whose survivors brought culture, religion, monument-building and civilisation to the rest of the world. http://rapidshare.com/files/6798493/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6787747/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6779378/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6767470/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6755136/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6746103/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6732771/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/6724868/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part8.rar Mirror http://rapidshare.com/files/55379329/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55383297/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55387165/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55391093/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55394726/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55398487/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55402276/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55403335/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part8.rar Password : x2021nu7 |

The pleasure of finding things out, Richard Feynman Interview (1981)FEBRUARY 2006: The classic autobiographical Feynman documentary
BBC Horizon/PBS Nova THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT Fifty minutes of pure Feynman! This is the original Horizon/Nova interview – essential for any Feynman fan… and for everyone else too! ‘I’m an explorer, OK? I like to find out!’ Richard Feynman, physicist and adventurer extraordinary… THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales — about childhood, Los Alamos and the Bomb, or how he won a Nobel Prize — are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play. “The 1981 Feynman Horizon is the best science programme I have ever seen. This is not just my opinion – it is also the opinion of many of the best scientists that I know who have seen the programme… It should be mandatory viewing for all students whether they be science or arts students” http://rapidshare.com/files/79345880/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/79345860/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/79345870/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/79345897/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/79345896/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/79345861/BBC_-_Horizon_-_The_Pleasure_of_finding_Things_out.part6.rar |

BBC – The SunThis exclusive BBC documentary accompanies the golden ball of fire from it’s origin as a cold gas cloud to it’s end as a red giant. Unreachable, unimaginably hot and yet ever present. The sun is the source of all life on earth. It’s little wonder many cultures still revere it as a deity. For 4.5 billion years the sun rises every morning on the horizon. But what do we really know about the heavenly ball of fire which provides us with light and warmth? This movie shows with impressive pictures the thrilling story of the creation of the sun, it’s influence on our well-being, and how we could use it’s power to change the future on earth dramatically. The sun is the center of our universe and our calendar. The life-giver brightens our sky, provides us with light, warmth and nourishment. Yet the star itself is a very inhospitable place. At a surface temperature of 5.700 degree Celsius we have to be grateful that the sun is 150 million kilometers away from earth. But even at this distance it influences our lives more than we often care to imagine. Even in the age of electrical light the change from day to night remains obvious. But why are we so depressed when the sun doesn’t reach us directly once in a while? Physicists have long since proved that depression is more likely to occur in winter than in summer. The culprit is very unlikely the cold of winter but rather the scarce natural light. The activities of sunspots and cosmic weather often remain hidden to humans. Yet Galileo Galilei already documented the motion of the darker, colder spots on the surface of the sun. But their meaning was only discovered much later. In the middle of the 17th century the surface of the sun entered a phase where it remained completely free of sunspots. This in turn caused the last prolonged cold period in the northern hemisphere: the “miniature ice-age”. Temperatures only fell by one to two degrees – but the distribution of polar pack ice obliterated entire viking settlements and caused the population of Iceland to go back by half. Why this was the case hasn’t been revealed to the present day. Though in the meantime another spectacle of the inconceivable solar forces is being observed: eruptions on the surface. Once the magnetic fields of of sunspots explode they fling billions of tons of plasma into space. These mighty gas-fountains often reach earth days later where the magnetic field of the earth blocks them to the greatest possible extent. Observable consequences of the impacts are polar lights, migratory birds which have lost their sense of orientation and stranded whales. Can humans use the unbelievable powers of the sun to avert a energy crisis and global warming? Did you know… Elements absorb different wavelengths of light which become visible as spectral lines. Separated into it’s colors the light reveals the chemical composition of the sun like a bar-code. http://rapidshare.com/files/126872280/BBC-The.Sun.part01.rar

Horizon 1997 Ice MummiesPart 1 The Ice Maiden As the solid block of ice began to melt, the team of archaeologists gazed on the body of a young woman buried more than 2,500 years before. Lying around the Ice Maiden’s ceremonial tomb, were six of her horses especially sacrificed for the occasion. The Ice Maiden had been laid to rest in the “Pastures of Heaven” high in the Altai mountains of Siberia. Water had entered the grave and frozen, preserving the contents. For nearly twenty five centuries she remained at peace, until Russian archaeologist Natalia Polosmak discovered the tomb in 1993. Now the preserved body, her clothes and her belongings were about to open a window on the lost culture of the Pazyryk, the tribe she belonged to, fierce nomads who once roamed the Russian Steppes. Part 2 A Life In Ice In 1991, two Germans on a hiking holiday in the Alps stumbled on what they thought was the victim of a climbing accident: a frozen body poking through the glacial snow. In fact, the body turned out to be that of a Neolithic farmer – a European contemporary of the builders of the first Egyptian pyramids. And the Iceman has turned out to be one of the most important archaeological finds of the century. Tim Haines’ film tells the story of how, in the last five years,research groups from across Europe have used him to shine a light on a time of archaeological darkness. They have investigated everything from his fingernails to his hair, from moss on his clothes to pollen grains in his cloak. He has even started new areas of research where there was nothing before. Perhaps most significant of all, to archaeologists, is that he was not buried, no ceremony decided what artefacts he would be found with. Instead, it is now clear he was a man going about his everyday business, equipped with all he needed for daily life 5,000 years ago. Part 3 Frozen In Heaven When the Spanish Conquistadors first conquered the Inca empire five hundred years ago, they wrote of the mysterious ceremony of capa cocha. Parents, they claimed, would voluntarily offer their children to their Inca priests, sending them to the top of the highest peaks for sacrifice to mountain gods. In the past, historians have dismissed this as fanciful European exaggeration. But then archaeologists began to find the children’s bodies. Perfectly preserved, with his head resting on his knees, the Plomo boy now crouches in a Santiago freezer. He was found at twenty thousand feet, high in the Andes, fully-dressed in ceremonial clothes and surrounded by a wealth of gold and silver offerings. He is so well- preserved that he seems to have simply fallen asleep. The frostbite on his fingers suggests that he died of exposure, but the rough soles of his feet speak of a hard journey up the mountain to his death. Two other preserved bodies have been discovered since, and scientists are now finding clues as to how they died, and the manner of the sacrifice.

Horizon – Extreme Dinosaurs – The Science Of GiantsAmazing new discoveries in South America are revolutionising what we thought we knew about the dinosaur world. It now seems that South America was home to both the largest meat-eater – so new it’s still without a name – and the largest herbivore – the enormous long-necked Argentinasaurus. And what’s more, these dinosaurs lived at the same time in the same place. So it’s possible that like in a science fiction movie, in this prehistoric world these two giants of their kind fought each other in a spectacular clash of the Titans. Horizon follows the scientists to Argentina as they unearth one of these giants – a brand new species of dinosaur; the biggest carnivore ever discovered. Not yet named, this new creature is even bigger than T. rex, the so-called ‘king’ of the carnivores. The new giant South American predator had a skull bigger than a man that was full of serrated, knife-like teeth and long powerful jaw muscles. They could dissect their prey with almost surgical precision. But even this formidable killing machine couldn’t alone have taken on the massive long-neck, Argentinasaurus, which was the height of a five-storey building. It must have hunted in a pack. The problem is, the mega-meat-eaters have always been assumed to have been solitary creatures. The evidence shows that they lived and hunted alone. If they weren’t pack hunters, then they would never have attacked Argentinasaurus. So it looked like the idea of a mighty battle between these two giants was simply science fiction. But extraordinary new clues are proving otherwise.

Horizon – Secrets of the Star DiscThis is the extraordinary story of how a small metal disc is rewriting the epic saga of how civilisation first came to Europe, 3600 years ago. When grave robbers ransacked a Bronze Age tomb in Germany, they had no idea that they had unearthed the find of a lifetime. But they knew that it was worth selling. It was a small bronze disc of exquisite design. So they contacted the archaeologist Harald Meller, offering to sell it to him for £300,000. Meller went deep into the criminal underworld and, after a police sting, he got his disc. It depicted the sun, the moon and the stars. This suggested an understanding of the heavens greater than that of the first great civilisations, like Egypt. Could it possibly be real? After exhaustive tests, the disc was declared genuine. Then a team of crack scientists pieced together what it meant. What emerged is a true marvel. This disc, it seems, is a Bronze Age Bible, combining an advanced understanding of the stars with some of the most sophisticated religious imagery of the age. In intellectual achievement and also age, it surpasses anything yet found in Egypt or Greece. It seems that civilisation had already dawned in Europe. NB: The quality is fairly good, although there may be an occasional picture or sound breakup, these should not detract from viewing.

Horizon 1998 The Man Who Lost His BodyIn 1971 Ian Waterman was a butcher on Jersey. He was nineteen, newly qualified and working flat out to make a go of the business. Then suddenly he went down with what seemed to be gastric flu. But it wasn’t. He became wobbly and weak. Within days he had collapsed and was in hospital, unable to move or feel his body. He has never regained that feeling, yet against all the odds, he has made an apparently miraculous recovery. HORIZON tells Ian’s extraordinary story. Ian had contracted a disease of the nervous system so rare that the doctors on Jersey were unable to diagnose it. It had destroyed all the sensory nerves responsible for touch, and for conveying information about muscle and joint position, senses so fundamental to our capacity to move in the world that they have been called a sixth sense. Without this “proprioception” we can have no inner sense of posture or limb position and cannot initiate or control movement. Ian was told that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But Ian wasn’t paralysed, and he was determined that he was going to lead as normal a life as he could. With the help of physiotherapists he discovered that he could regain control of his limbs through his eyes. So long as he could see the limbs he was moving, he could will his muscles into action and monitor their movements. Doggedly, he taught himself to stand and walk, to use cutlery and a pen, to pick up mugs of tea and to gesture convincingly while talking, but each movement required unfaltering conscious effort. Ian has confounded the predictions of the specialists. He has found ways of performing tasks that should be impossible for him. In doing so he has become an expert not only on his own anatomy and nervous system, but also on the physics of movement and space. Fourteen years ago Ian met Jonathan Cole, a neurologist with special interest in the way the brain controls movement. Jonathan recognised that for Ian to move and gesture in the way that he does, he must be controlling his motor nerves in a wholly unorthodox manner. In this programme Jonathan and Ian embark on a journey to understand Ian’s nervous system, meeting fellow patients, neuro-anatomists, and linguists. The search culminates in a visit to the headquarters of NASA, where US astronauts train for missions into space. Ian experiences our world as if he were in space. He has no sensation of his own weight or the weight of objects in the world. He will accompany astronauts as they learn to move in a weight-free world. Perhaps in zero gravity he will find himself in his element.

HORIZON 2000 Supermassive Black HolesIn June 2000, astronomers made an extraordinary discovery. One that promises to solve one of the biggest problems in cosmology – how and why galaxies are created. Incredibly, the answer involves the most weird, destructive and terrifying objects in the Universe – supermassive black holes. Scientists are beginning to believe that these forces of pure destruction actually help trigger the birth of galaxies and therefore are at the heart of the creation of stars, planets and all life. Supermassive black holes are so extraordinary that until recently, many people doubted that they existed at all. The idea of giant black holes the size of the Solar System seemed more like science fiction that reality – such monsters would be so powerful that they could destroy the very fabric of the Universe. But in the last five years a series of discoveries has changed our understanding of supermassive black holes and galaxies forever. Using the powerful Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have been scanning nearby galaxies, searching for these giant black holes. It’s a difficult job – by their very nature black holes swallow light – so can never be seen. So what scientists have been looking for is the effect of their massive gravity, hurling stars around them at immense speed. What they’ve found is more extraordinary than anyone could ever have imagined; not just evidence that these vast destructive monsters exist… but so far they’re in every single galaxy toward which they have turned their telescopes. These giant agents of destruction appear to be common throughout the Universe. Scientists now think supermassive black holes are a fundamental part of what a galaxy actually is. Lurking at the heart of every single galaxy is a giant black hole of apocalyptic proportions – and that includes our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Astronomer Andrea Ghez has been studying the heart of the Milky Way for the last five years. What she\’s discovered is irrefutable evidence for a giant black hole, 3 billion times the size of our own sun. A black hole that could destroy the entire Solar System. And as Horizon was filming in July 2000, Ghez got some terrifying images – of the giant monster sucking up gas and stars at the galaxy heart. So what is this giant monster doing at the heart of our galaxy? What effect will this giant black hole 25,000 light years away have on us and the rest of the galaxy around it? These are questions that have been puzzling astronomers for the last few years – and in June, two separate groups of scientists found evidence that points to a startling answer. Rather than being destructive parasites, it seems that supermassive black holes may be essential in the very creation of the galaxies they live in. Exactly how our galaxy was created has mystified astronomers and physicists for years. Although there have been many theories, there’s little evidence to explain how the gas in the early Universe condensed to form the galaxy we see today. Now scientists realise they’ve been missing a vital ingredient – a supermassive black hole. The immense gravity of a giant black hole might trigger the gas to collapse in the first place. By churning up the gas around it, a giant black hole would trigger the birth of stars, planets and life itself. Despite being the most destructive thing in the Universe, scientists now think our supermassive black hole could be crucial in creating the galaxy as we know it. The supermassive black hole in our own galaxy may be the reason we exist, but recent work suggests it may also be our end. At present Earth is so far away from the black hole that it can’t affect us, but physicist John Dubinski thinks all that could change. In January 2000 he graphically simulated the final fate of our galaxy. In 3 billion years we will collide with the next door galaxy, Andromeda. The resulting apocalypse will force the Earth and our Solar System out of orbit. Dubinski has calculated a worrying 50:50 chance that we’ll be sent hurtling in towards the black hole at the centre of this maelstrom. This would be fatal for the Earth.

Horizon – Project PoltergeistThis is the story of two genuine scientific heroes. For forty years, John Bahcall and Ray Davis were engaged in a single extraordinary experiment – to find out why the Sun shines. In the end they would triumph. Davis would win the Nobel Prize and, thanks to their work, a whole new theory about how the universe is put together may have to be created. At the heart of this story is a tiny, utterly mysterious thing called a neutrino. Trillions of them pass through your body every second, touching nothing, leaving no trace. Yet neutrinos are one of a handful of fundamental particles in the universe, essential to every atom in existence and clues to what makes the Sun work. But their ghost-like quality made trapping and understanding them immensely difficult. What then followed was a bizarre series of experiments. They led from a vat containing 600 tons of cleaning fluid, to a vast cavern in a Japanese mountain, to a hole in the ground in Canada two kilometres deep. What they would reveal would stun the world of science. It seems that neutrinos may be our parents. They may be the reason why everything, including us, exists. It took me a while to sort the sound, and sorting it gave me a size problem, I therefore had to cut out the credits. I have attached them in a text file in case anyone wants them!

Horizon 2001 Cloning The First HumanCloning the First Human BBC TWO 9.00pm Thursday 25 October 2001 Doctors Panayiotis Zavos and Severino Antinori claim they are ready to embark on the greatest human experiment of our age. They say they will attempt to clone a human being before the year is out. Most people think the objections to this are ethical – human cloning would create many moral dilemmas. There is another question that few ever ask: is the science actually ready yet for cloning healthy humans? Horizon follows the latest research, which has led many scientists to believe that Zavos and Antinori’s plans to clone the first human could end in tragedy. The programme also meets couples like Matthew and Desirée Racquer who think cloning offers them the only way to raise a child who is truly their own. For decades, cloning remained within the realms of science fiction. The idea that instead of combining a sperm and an egg, a new human could be made from a single cell taken from an adult, seemed completely absurd. But that all changed in February 1997, when the Roslin Institute introduced the world to Dolly the sheep – the first animal cloned from an adult. Ever since Dolly, scientists have been continuing to experiment with cloning animals. So far, they have succeeded in cloning sheep, cattle, pigs, goats and mice, fuelling the belief that humans could be next. An unreliable procedure But even Dolly’s creator, Professor Ian Wilmut, is concerned that beneath the veneer of success lies a disturbing reality. Most cloning attempts on animals so far have resulted in failed implantation or abnormal foetuses. Of the animals born alive, some soon die of catastrophic organ failure. Others appear to be healthy for weeks or even months, then die suddenly, sometimes from bizarre new illnesses which do not occur in nature. Years of painstaking work are only now revealing some vital clues to what is going wrong. Horizon talks to the scientists who have uncovered new evidence, suggesting that the process of cloning itself causes subtle errors in the way genes function. These random errors may be like a timebomb inside every clone, causing some of the strange – often fatal – problems. There’s no reason to think cloned human babies would fare any better. According to embryologist Dr Susan Avery, death might be the best outcome for many human clones. If they survived, they would suffer from catastrophic illnesses that modern medicine is powerless to prevent or cure. Test tube troubles Dr Zavos claims that these problems are the result of the still unsophisticated methods being used by animal researchers. Using advanced in vitro fertilisation (‘test tube baby’) techniques, he claims that he will strive to make human cloning safer than natural reproduction. Now though, it seems that some IVF procedures themselves are being investigated for possible harmful effects on the long term health of children. Professor Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh reveals evidence of these risks, which could be magnified in cloning. Most reproductive specialists believe that the danger to any human born by cloning is enormous. But the would-be human cloners are determined to clone a human baby. If they proceed, they may be courting tragedy.

Horizon 2002 Freak WaveThe world’s oceans claim on average one ship a week, often in mysterious circumstances. With little evidence to go on, investigators usually point at human error or poor maintenance but an alarming series of disappearances and near-sinkings, including world-class vessels with unblemished track records, has prompted the search for a more sinister cause and renewed belief in a maritime myth: the wall of water. Waves the height of an office block. Waves twice as large as any that ships are designed to ride over. These are not tsunamis or tidal waves, but huge breaking walls of water that come out of the blue. Suspicions these were fact not fiction were roused in 1978, by the cargo ship München. She was a state-of-the-art cargo ship. The December storms predicted when she set out to cross the Atlantic did not concern her German crew. The voyage was perfectly routine until at 3am on 12 December she sent out a garbled mayday message from the mid-Atlantic. Rescue attempts began immediately with over a hundred ships combing the ocean. “We hoped to find at least a life-raft with people. We never found a living soul” Captain Pieter de Nijs, München search co-ordinator The ship was never found. She went down with all 27 hands. An exhaustive search found just a few bits of wreckage, including an unlaunched lifeboat that bore a vital clue. It had been stowed 20m above the water line yet one of its attachment pins had twisted as though hit by an extreme force. The Maritime Court concluded that bad weather had caused an unusual event. Other seafarers could not help but consider the possibility of a mythical freak wave. Freak waves are the stuff of legend. They aren’t just rare, according to traditional views of the sea, they shouldn’t exist at all. Oceanographers and meteorologists have long used a mathematical system called the linear model to predict wave height. This assumes that waves vary in a regular way around the average (so-called ’significant’) wave height. In a storm sea with a significant wave height of 12m, the model suggests there will hardly ever be a wave higher than 15m. One of 30m could indeed happen – but only once in ten thousand years. Except they do happen with startling frequency. Since 1990, 20 vessels have been struck by waves off the South African coast that defy the linear model’s predictions. And on New Year’s Day, 1985 a wave of 26m was measured hitting the Draupner oil rig in the North Sea off Norway. Concerned shipping operators wanted to know what was going on. The largest wave marine architects are required to accommodate in the design strength calculations is 15m from trough to crest. If that assumption were to be proved false, the whole world shipping industry would face some very tough choices. What could cause such extreme waves? Curious about the spate of South African incidents, oceanographer Marten Grundlingh plotted the strikes on thermal sea surface maps. All the ships had been at the edge of the Agulhas Current, the meeting point of two opposing flows mixing warm Indian Ocean water with a colder Atlantic flow. Radar surveillance by satellite confirmed that wave height at the edge of this current could grow well beyond the linear model’s predictions, especially if the wind direction opposed the current flow. Problem solved: the answer was just to avoid certain ocean currents in certain weather conditions. There was nothing freakish about large waves; the mariners’ myth was an explicable phenomenon. To science, this was one that didn’t get away. “Out of nowhere… a wave twice as high as average. The ship went down like freefall” Göran Persson, Caledonian Star First Officer Unfortunately, ocean currents could not explain two near disastrous wave strikes in March 2001. Once more two reputable ships, designed to cope with the very worst conditions any ocean could throw at them, were crippled to the point of sinking. The Bremen and Caledonian Star were carrying hundreds of tourists across the South Atlantic. At 5am on 2 March the Caledonian Star’s First Officer saw a 30m wave bearing down on them. It smashed over the ship, flooding the bridge and destroying much of the navigation and communication equipment. The Caledonian Star limped back to port, her crew and passengers grateful that the engines had kept running, despite the onslaught. Just days earlier, the cruise liner Bremen had been less fortunate. 137 German tourists were aboard when she too faced an awesome wall of water in the South Atlantic. The impact knocked out all the instrumentation and all power, leaving them helpless in the tumultuous sea. Unable to maintain her course into the waves, there was a real risk the ship could go down and they knew none of the passengers would survive in lifeboats in such freezing conditions. With emergency power only, the crew battled to restart the engines. When they eventually succeeded, it opened the door to a very lucky escape. “We had said, ‘This kind of thing can’t happen; this kind of thing is too strange’” Al Osborne, wave mathematician No current could have created such huge waves. There is none in that part of the Atlantic. Clearly, there was another effect investigators needed to find. Except someone already had: it existed (on paper at least) in the world of quantum physics. Al Osborne is a wave mathematician with 30 years experience devising equations to describe open ocean wave patterns. Quantum physics has at its heart a concept called the Schrodinger Equation, a way of expressing the probability of something happening that is far more complex than the simple linear model. Al’s theory is based on the notion that in certain unstable conditions, waves can steal energy from their neighbours. Adjacent waves shrink while the one at the focus can grow to an enormous size. His modified Schrodinger Equation had been rejected in the past as implausible, but with research attention centred on analysing these rogue waves – including global satellite radar surveillance by the new European Remote Sensing Satellite – data began to emerge backing his case. When Al came across the New Year’s Day 1985 wave profiles from the Draupner oil rig, he saw his mathematical model played out in the real world. Al’s work – if correct – suggests that there are two kinds of waves out on the high seas; the classical undulating type described by the linear model and an unstable non-linear monster – a wave that at any time can start sucking up energy from waves around it to become a towering freak. The consequences for ship design could be stark. Currently the biggest wave factored into most ship design is smooth, undulating and 15m high. A freak wave is not only far bigger, it is so steep it is almost breaking. This near-vertical wall of water is almost impossible to ride over – the wave just breaks over the ship. According to accident investigator, Rod Rainey, such a wave would exert a pressure of 100 tonnes per square metre on a ship, far greater than the 15 tonnes that ships are designed to withstand without damage. It’s no wonder that even ships the size of the huge freighter München can sink without trace.

Horizon 2003 Earthquake StormsEarthquakes are among the most devastating natural disasters on the planet. In the last hundred years they have claimed the lives of over one million people. Earthquakes are destructive mainly because of their unpredictable nature. It is impossible to say accurately when a quake will strike but a new theory could help save lives by preparing cities long in advance for an earthquake. “We knew that Izmit was dangerous” Prof Geoffrey King, Institut de Physique du Globe The surface of the Earth is made up of large ‘tectonic’ plates. These plates are in slow but constant motion. When two plates push against each other friction generates a great deal of energy. For this reason earthquakes occur most frequently on tectonic fault lines, where two plates meet. However these fault lines run for thousands of kilometres; predicting exactly where a quake will occur is nearly impossible. Stress lines In 1992, Dr Ross Stein was monitoring a large earthquake in a town in California called Landers. Three hours later, there was another quake 67km away at Great Bear. Stein believed that this was not simply an aftershock, instead he theorised the event at Landers had set off the earthquake at Big Bear. Stein believes that when an earthquake occurs the stress that has built up along the fault, is in part, transferred along the fault line. It is this energy transfer that causes other quakes to occur hours, days or months after the original. Stein’s team began to look for connections between the quakes in Landers and Big Bear. They had already been working on a computer model that could help them study the relationship between earthquakes. The data collected during the Landers/Big Bear quake had enabled them to create a model that could predict where the stress from Landers would have been transferred. When they looked at the result the calculations did indeed show that the stress from Landers would have been transferred along the fault to Big Bear. They then plotted all of the subsequent ‘aftershocks’ and discovered that almost all occurred within a high-risk area they called a `red zone’. This did not prove the theory of earthquake storms though. In order to do that the quakes would have to be triggered months or even years after the original earthquake. Scientists from around the world were attracted by this new theory and there was one part of the world where it seemed from the available evidence that the earthquake storm theory might hold true. Tremor trail Prof Geoffrey King was fascinated by the cyclic behaviour of the North Anatolian fault in northern Turkey. Earthquakes in the region moved from east to west with a period of quiet at the end before the cycle began again. King used the same model that had been used to show the connection between the quakes in Landers and Big Bear. The first earthquake King looked at was in the northern city of Erzican in 1939. Using the available data on that quake he found that a town to the west called Tokat was in the red, danger zone. Tokat was indeed struck by a quake in 1942. The model seemed to be working. In 1967 Adapazari, also in a red zone, was hit. It looked like stress generated in one earthquake was being transferred to the west. These could not be aftershocks as they were separated by years, not hours. As King continued to put data into the model he discovered that a city called Izmit seemed to be the next place that would be struck. With a population of 500,000 people King and other scientists knew they needed to make this discovery public knowledge. “Buildings can be improved. Construction can be modified” Prof Geoffrey King Newspapers, science journals and other publications all printed this remarkable news. Unfortunately there was not enough interest from the local community. In August 1999 King was tragically proved right when a massively energetic earthquake lasting just 45 seconds killed 25,000 people. It was a bittersweet feeling for King. On one hand he was proved right, on the other he knew that many people had lost their lives who could have been saved. King also knew that there was a high chance of more earthquakes. So using the data acquired from the Izmit quake he began to work out where the next most likely earthquake site would be. The answer would cause a great deal of concern. At the edge of the red zone lay the city of Istanbul, home to more than four million people. The city’s high population density puts its inhabitants at maximum risk. There is good news though; if the warning from King’s team is heeded then arrangements can be made to make Istanbul safer in the event of an earthquake, whenever it happens. For now though, only time will tell if King’s prediction will prove correct.

Horizon 1996 Noah´s Flood“It all began in 1971 as a game of speculation – a bit of light relief from the rigours of tectonic and oceanographic investigation in the Mediterranean basin.” American oceanographer Bill Ryan was on the scientific team which showed that the Mediterranean had been a vast desert basin until, 5 million years ago, the world’s oceans rose and burst through the Straits of Gibraltar to create the Mediterranean Sea. Walter Pitman was helping to found the new science of plate tectonics. Ryan and Pitman’s British associate John Dewey (now Professor of Earth Sciences at Oxford) put up an ingenious idea – could a similar cataclysmic flooding of a massive basin account for the Biblical Flood – a catastrophe of such enormity that it would remain in human memory down the ages? If so, where might it have taken place? The idea never went away and 20 years later, in 1991, Ryan and Pitman began their search. This year they will announce their findings to the scientific world. Richard Curson Smith’s film takes Pitman and Ryan back to the Black Sea, where they now believe that the Flood occurred in 5,600 BC. Filmed on location in Turkey, Bulgaria, Russia and the United States, HORIZON tells the story of the discovery through the eyes and experiences of the two scientists. Like Laurel and Hardy, they swing from disappointment to despair, to euphoria, as they pursue their dramatic idea, working with geological evidence from the Turkish navy, drilling into the bed of the Black Sea alongside a team of Russian scientists (who were tracking fall-out from Chernobyl), building in all the data available from experts in climate and tree-ring dating, and finally testing their findings on their colleagues in the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Bill Ryan and Walter Pitman may have a romantic streak in their natures, but there’s nothing eccentric about their ideas. They are, says Professor Dewey, “Two of the finest American earth scientists working in the field”. They have gathered a hoard of evidence to demonstrate that the Black Sea had fallen 120 metres below the level of the worlds oceans as a result of a sudden freezing of Northern Europe and Asia which dramatically reduced the flow of the great rivers which fed it. The Black Sea became a vast fresh-water lake. The Earth warmed, the oceans rose again and smashed through the Bosphorus Straits with the force of a hundred Niagara Falls, filling the Black Sea basin to its present level with the salt water of the oceans. The implications are enormous. Who lived by the Black Sea before the deluge? What may it tell us about the spread of Neolithic farming, culture and technology into Europe and beyond? Did this extraordinary event become the stuff of ancient storytelling, so that Noah and his Ark became a symbol for real people who were driven from their lands by a real flood?

Horizon Special 2004 First OlympianTwo and a half thousand years ago, sport was tough. Few athletes survived the rigours of the great sporting arenas of the Ancient Greeks and only one athlete has survived the ravages of time to offer a unique insight into a remarkable ancient world. First Olympian tells the “Athlete of Taranto´s” fascinating story.Fifty years ago, a skeleton was found in Taranto in Southern Italy. On opening an ancient tomb,archaeologists found the skeleton with four richly decorated jars in each corner of the tomb, revealing that the owner had an obsession for sport. Cutting edge forensic analysis reveals fascinating details about his diet, general health and appearance and which sports he excelled at. Lavish special effects and dramatic reconstruction then recreate the awesome sight of ancient Olympia and the games that would have drawn up to 40,000 spectators. They were definitely more brutal than the Olympics of today – one wrestler ensured victory by breaking his opponents’ fingers – but were they more physically challenging? To discover the truth, modern athletes are put to the test in a series of events using equipment designed from the remains of ancient originals.

Billy Meier Videos (UFOs + Aliens)Billy Meier Collection of videos If you are into UFOs, this is one of the most interesting documentaries you will ever see. In short… He claims to have been taken to other planets that were in varying stages of development. He has taken many photos which have ended up in the NASA archive. The following videos are included: Full description of the Billy Meier case: The Pleiadians / Plejarens and their confederates are human beings with physical bodies and look very much like the people on Earth, with the exception of some minor anatomical differences, especially regarding the confederates. They live for 1,000 years, approximately. Their home planet — somewhat smaller than Earth — is called Erra. Its population is about 500 million people, while the entire federation has a population of 120 billion. The Pleiades / Plejaren are not identical with the Pleiades we can see on the night sky. They are 80 light-years beyond the Pleiades in another space-time configuration (another dimension). The Pleiadians / Plejarens’ consciousness (“spirit”) and technology are much more highly developed than here on Earth. The Pleiadians / Plejarens and the people on Earth have the same ancestors, but have developed separately. From 1975 until August 19, 2003, there have been 632 personal and 748 telepathic contacts with Pleiadian / Plejaran extraterrestrials and members of their Federation. The contacts are still on-going. More then 347 contacts have been documented and available as contact reports. As of 2003, 16 volumes of Contact Notes, each consists of 200 pages, are available (German only) Some of the subject matters discussed are: Creation and its creations, origin of the universe, earth history, science, astronomy, spirituality, reincarnation, genetic engineering, terrestrial religions, human evolution, spiritual teachings, interplanetary space flight, galactic federation, extraterrestrial origin and visitation to Earth, telepathy, overpopulation on Earth, destruction of the environment, male-female relationships, government and military cover-ups, and many more.

BBC – Atlantis Reborn AgainAtlantis Reborn Again Graham Hancock Horizon puts Graham Hancock’s controversial theories about the past to the test, dissecting his evidence for a lost civilisation. Although scientists believe they have categorically disproved the myth of Atlantis, the idea is more popular now than ever before. The latest exponent of the theory of a single lost source for all civilisation, is Graham Hancock. Although he doesn’t call it Atlantis, his compelling ideas about a sophisticated society destroyed in a flood 12,000 years ago seem to be based on a reworking of the original Atlantis myth, whose survivors brought culture, religion, monument-building and civilisation to the rest of the world. Orion’s BeltGraham Hancock offers various pieces of evidence to support his theory. He claims that the mysterious lost civilisation left its mark in ancient monuments, which he calculates were built to mirror certain constellations of stars. His hugely popular ideas have attracted such a wide audience that they stand to replace the conventional view of the past, which is based on scientific evidence that the civilisations of the ancient world were developed independently, by different peoples, on different continents. Horizon journeys across the world to examine Hancock’s evidence for a lost civilisation and puts his theory to the test. Robert Bauval at Giza – requires RealPlayer 5.0 or later. Using modern astronomy, Hancock and his followers claim they can find messages from a lost society in the patterns of some of the greatest ancient monuments of the world. One colleague in particular, the author Robert Bauval, believes that the Giza pyramids in Egypt were built to mirror the stars of Orion’s belt. Map of the temples at Angkor WatHancock also believes that the great temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia mirror the constellation Draco as it would have appeared 12,000 years ago – at a time when the world was in the Stone Age. They see this as evidence that a great civilisation existed at this time, and later conveyed its wisdom to the peoples of the ancient world, before disappearing without trace from the archaeological record. Dr. Ed Krupp, Griffith Observatory – requires RealPlayer 5.0 or later.Astronomers, archaeologists and geologists study this evidence. Dr. Ed Krupp of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, is troubled by Bauval’s claims. Horizon further examines Hancock’s claims that the Sphinx and the mysterious ancient city of Tihuanacu in Bolivia were built 12,000 years ago by survivors of the lost civilisation itself. Divers at the Yonaguni formation It considers the idea that either Antarctica or an extraordinary underwater site at Yonaguni in Japan were the original home of these vanished people. In a film full of contentious debate and powerful arguments, Graham Hancock’s claims are pitted against cutting edge scientific analysis to discover whether his popular theory could be true. http://rapidshare.com/files/55379329/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55383297/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55387165/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55391093/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55394726/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part6.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55398487/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part5.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55402276/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part7.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/55403335/BBC.Horizon.2000.Atlantis.Reborn.Again.DivX521.MP3.part8.rar |

BBC – Horizon – Global DimmingHorizon producer David Sington on why predictions about the Earth’s climate will need to be re-examined. We are all seeing rather less of the Sun. Scientists looking at five decades of sunlight measurements have reached the disturbing conclusion that the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface has been gradually falling. Paradoxically, the decline in sunlight may mean that global warming is a far greater threat to society than previously thought. The effect was first spotted by Gerry Stanhill, an English scientist working in Israel. Comparing Israeli sunlight records from the 1950s with current ones, Stanhill was astonished to find a large fall in solar radiation. “There was a staggering 22% drop in the sunlight, and that really amazed me,” he says. Intrigued, he searched out records from all around the world, and found the same story almost everywhere he looked, with sunlight falling by 10% over the USA, nearly 30% in parts of the former Soviet Union, and even by 16% in parts of the British Isles. Although the effect varied greatly from place to place, overall the decline amounted to 1-2% globally per decade between the 1950s and the 1990s. Gerry called the phenomenon global dimming, but his research, published in 2001, met with a sceptical response from other scientists. It was only recently, when his conclusions were confirmed by Australian scientists using a completely different method to estimate solar radiation, that climate scientists at last woke up to the reality of global dimming. Dimming appears to be caused by air pollution. Burning coal, oil and wood, whether in cars, power stations or cooking fires, produces not only invisible carbon dioxide (the principal greenhouse gas responsible for global warming) but also tiny airborne particles of soot, ash, sulphur compounds and other pollutants. This visible air pollution reflects sunlight back into space, preventing it reaching the surface. But the pollution also changes the optical properties of clouds. Because the particles seed the formation of water droplets, polluted clouds contain a larger number of droplets than unpolluted clouds. Recent research shows that this makes them more reflective than they would otherwise be, again reflecting the Sun’s rays back into space. Scientists are now worried that dimming, by shielding the oceans from the full power of the Sun, may be disrupting the pattern of the world’s rainfall. There are suggestions that dimming was behind the droughts in sub-Saharan Africa which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the 1970s and 1980s. There are disturbing hints the same thing may be happening today in Asia, home to half the world’s population. “My main concern is global dimming is also having a detrimental impact on the Asian monsoon,” says Prof Veerhabhadran Ramanathan, one of the world’s leading climate scientists. “We are talking about billions of people.” But perhaps the most alarming aspect of global dimming is that it may have led scientists to underestimate the true power of the greenhouse effect. They know how much extra energy is being trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) we have placed there. What has been surprising is that this extra energy has so far resulted in a temperature rise of just 0.6°C. This has led many scientists to conclude that the present-day climate is less sensitive to the effects of carbon dioxide than it was, say, during the ice age, when a similar rise in CO2 led to a temperature rise of 6°C. But it now appears the warming from greenhouse gases has been offset by a strong cooling effect from dimming – in effect two of our pollutants have been cancelling each other out. This means that the climate may in fact be more sensitive to the greenhouse effect than thought. If so, then this is bad news, according to Dr Peter Cox, one of the world’s leading climate modellers. As things stand, CO2 levels are projected to rise strongly over coming decades, whereas there are encouraging signs that particle pollution is at last being brought under control. “We’re going to be in a situation, unless we act, where the cooling pollutant is dropping off while the warming pollutant is going up. That means we’ll get reduced cooling and increased heating at the same time and that’s a problem for us,” says Cox. Even the most pessimistic forecasts of global warming may now have to be drastically revised upwards. That means a temperature rise of 10°C by 2100 could be on the cards, giving the UK a climate like that of North Africa, and rendering many parts of the world uninhabitable. That is unless we act urgently to curb our emissions of greenhouse gases. http://rapidshare.com/files/49872854/Global_Dimming_-_BBC_Documentary__2005_.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/49874633/Global_Dimming_-_BBC_Documentary__2005_.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/49876204/Global_Dimming_-_BBC_Documentary__2005_.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/49877952/Global_Dimming_-_BBC_Documentary__2005_.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/49878146/Global_Dimming_-_BBC_Documentary__2005_.part5.rar |
