Strange Case No. 53: The Call of the Crowd (08/24/2012)
Each episode of the "Strange Case" program is a standalone documentary dedicated to one of humanity's most compelling themes. All events in our world are predetermined and inevitable. There is a universal script according to which this or that action occurs. There is a certain theory of time that everything in this world already exists, everything in this world has already been, everything in this world will be. Is this true...
Paradoxical, but true! The more scientists study humans, nature, space, and our entire universe, the more new and complex mysteries emerge.
What are black holes, and why could they destroy our planet? What is the danger of antimatter, and could it be used to create a new intergalactic weapon? Are we alone in the universe, and when will the first contact with extraterrestrial life occur? Can humans live forever? Do paranormal abilities exist? Is there life after death? Physicists, biologists, and astronomers are not yet able to answer all these questions.
"Strange Case" is for those who are interested in how our world works, who are trying to find an explanation for the inexplicable, who are looking into the future and who are stepping beyond the boundaries of generally accepted opinions and points of view.
