Curiosity Stream

People just begin to understand what happens beneath their feet in the heart of the planet, to be better equipped to predict and prepare for tomorrow's volcanic eruptions or tsunamis.

Butterfly Effect

Plate Tectonics: Great Shakes

Handling numbers so large that all the books in the world would not be enough to contain them; societies are profoundly reliant on an increasingly complex equation.

Mathematics: How to Speak to Robots?

Countless machines are used to perform hard work in one's daily life, with each of them obeying a specific program custom-written in a particular language.

Algorithms: Following the Recipe!

Many natural phenomena are based on the laws of physics; forecasting the weather several days in advance; asking if it is possible to predict everything.

Chaos Theory: Small Causes, Great Effects

The development of incredible technologies, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large; a journey through the key moments that allow humanity to discover quantum physics.

Quantum Physics: A Step Into Unknown

Running climate simulations on a global scale; learning to control rivers and protect against flooding.

Fluid Mechanics: A Source of Inspiration

The understanding of energy enables people to send rockets into space; learning what exactly is energy and where it comes from.

Energy: A Burning Question

Long-distance communication, moving stealthily through the dark without being detected, and observation from afar have all become commonplace; at any moment, one can know exactly where one is on the planet.

Electromagnetic Waves: Do You Copy?

A journey through the key moments that enabled humanity to discover plastics.

Plastic: A Toxic Friend?

A journey through the key events that have allowed people to better understand the world of microbe.

Viruses and Bacteria: Tiny but Tough

From the mysterious megaliths in prehistory to the first hot air balloons and the construction of the Giza pyramid complex, ancestors have always observed and experimented to gain a better understanding of their world.

Gravity: It All Falls Into Place!

Early in their history, humans realize that they can affect nature by controlling fire, making tools and taming wild animals; what they were not given by nature, they harnessed in other species.

Heredity: It's a Family Affair!

Big movements of change that have often started with tiny events or personal decisions, and ended up affecting history.
