A few years ago in Central Africa was discovered a completely unique species of gorillas - Mbeli Bai, characterized by a peaceful and friendly disposition. Unlike their aggressive cousins, these gorillas interact much more, gathering in groups to find food and fresh water. And more importantly, for communication. The behavior of animals amazed scientists so much that they had to rewrite textbooks. But what made other previously studied gorilla species so aggressive? The opinion of scientists on this issue is very categorical - it seems that the reason was close communication with a person. The new BBC film Gorillas will give us a different look at these amazing animals. close

Unlocking the Mystery of Life represents a unique programming opportunity for local stations. Its broadcast release coincides with the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history-James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery that the DNA molecule carries hereditary information in the form of a code that many scientists have likened to computer software or a written language. This discovery (announced on April 25,1953) sparked a scientific revolution. But it also left a fundamental question unanswered. Where did the information in DNA come from? How did the software in the cell arise? Unlocking the Mystery of Life explores these questions through the stories of a growing number of scientists who no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain life's origin. Instead, they think that the microscopic world of the cell provides evidence of purpose and design in nature. close

The mechanisms of action of the human brain are perfectly regulated and balanced. During sleep, his work is slowed down, aimed at rest. Once a person wakes up, and his brain begins to actively analyze the environment with the help of the senses and intracerebral activity. The potential of the research work of the brain far exceeds our ideas about its capabilities, but only tests and experiments used by specialists can reveal this. But the strengthening and enrichment of mental activity often depends on ourselves.

There is only one great sculptor of the nineteenth century (Claude Monet called him “the great of the great”) – Auguste Rodin. Only he opened up new possibilities in the art of plastic, expanded its range and enriched the language. He combined boldness, realism of searches, vitality of images, energetic pictorial modeling, fluidity of form, incompleteness of works with dramatic design, striving for philosophical concepts.
The stylistics of Rodin’s later works gave rise to a judgment about him as the founder of impressionism in sculpture. The search for movement, the tendency to the picturesque “blurring” of volumes, the addiction to fragments bring him closer to Claude Monet or Degas, and the pathetic and fundamental “literature” of images brings him closer to Van Gogh. close
