The Secret Life of Chaos (2010)
"Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand.
It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here?
In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder?
It's a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again."

Physics of The Impossible - How to Travel to a Parallel Universe, with Michio Kaku
How to Travel to a Parallel Universe: Dr. Kaku is on a mission to design a gateway to a parallel universe but which type should he visit? MIT cosmologist Alan Guth explains his recipe for creating your own universe in the lab, and physicist Neil Turok explains how a parallel universe is only an atom's length away from us..
The Link - Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors
The Link - An incredible 95 percent complete fossil of a 47-million-year-old human ancestor has been discovered and, after two years of secret study, an international team of scientists has revealed it to the world. The fossil's remarkable state of preservation allows an unprecedented glimpse into early human evolution.

Nice Guys Finish First - Richard Dawkins
A 1986 documentary from the BBC Horizon series. In this video Richard Dawkins explains how natural selection can favor co-operation in nature, so long as it is of benefit to the selfish gene.
His search for stable co-operate strategies, which remain unaffected by cheating and exploitation involves an extraordinary game known as the Prisoners' Dilemma, normally used by psychologists to study human behavior.
In their attempts to earn real money, players must wrestle with a dilemma - whether to follow their natural instincts of co-operation or the dictates of reason and behave selfishly.

Area 51 Revealed
History Channel: AREA 51 REVEALED
AREA 51 REVEALED
AREA 51 REVEALED
The world's most infamous secret base is growing...
On October 26th, 1994, the U.S. government made their first official acknowledgment of Area 51. Six months later, nearly 4,000 acres of previously public land surrounding the base were closed.
Now, over a decade later, satellite photos reveal new buildings, towers, and runways finishing construction.
Secret flights with blacked-out windows bring passengers from Las Vegas. And security surrounding the perimeter of the base is tighter than ever.
The team heads to the epicenter of UFO and military conspiracy theories to visit new vantage points, speak with former base employees, and search the skies above America's most top-secret facility.

Transitional Forms - Undeniable Evidence For Evolution
"Evolution is REAL Science #5: Evidence For Evolution - Transitional Forms" by

Does the evidence support Evolution?
Find out what evolutionary theory actually predicts about intermediate forms in the fossil record.
Evolution is testable ... human and ape chromosome numbers.
Theories are crucial to science because they provide a coherent framework for making sense out of scientific observations.
An example of such a theory is the Theory of Evolution. Without the theoretical framework of evolution, biologists would be limited to observing living things and noting the similarities and differences between them.
Fossil discoveries, combined with evidence from morphological, genetic, and embryological studies of existing organisms lead us to a powerful explanation of a large set of biological observations. These observations only make sense using the REAL science of evolution.

God on the Brain BBC
These people suffer from one of the strangest of all brain disorders. It makes them think they have been touched by god. But their unusual condition is giving scientists a unique insight into faith and the human mind. As a result researchers are now asking one of them most explosive questions of all - could it be that the physical makeup of our brain programs us to believe in god?
