Why Sharks Attack The Internet

Every week, around three undersea internet cables get damaged badly enough to need urgent repair... and the culprit usually isn’t sabotage. Submarine cables carry more than 99% of the world’s international data, from your video calls to global financial transactions. Yet they lie on the ocean floor, where fishing gear and dragging ship anchors cause huge amounts of the damage. In this episode of The Rest Is Science, Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens (Vsauce) investigate the hidden network of underwater cables holding the internet together, and the problems that come with running it across the bottom of the ocean. How do you lay a cable across an entire ocean? What happens when one breaks miles below the surface? And in the age of satellites, why are we still relying on cables on the seabed? ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

Millaista oli noituus ja kuinka noitia vainottiin 1600-luvun Ruotsissa ja Suomessa?

Ruotsissa kansan keskuudessa puhkesi 1600-luvulla noituushysteria, ja lopulta noituuskomissioiden päätöksillä teloitettiin satoja ihmisiä. Millaiset kehityskulut johtivat Ruotsin noitavainoihin? Keitä olivat Ruotsin ja Suomen noidat, ja miten noituus erosi maiden välillä? Helsingin yliopiston historian vanhempi yliopistonlehtori Mirkka Lappalainen kertoo Ruotsin valtakunnan noidista ja 1600-luvun suurista noitavainoista Vappu Kaarenojan haastattelussa.

Leaf it to Nature

We walk on them, rake them up, often barely give them a thought, but the humble leaf is an extraordinary feat of biological engineering. Adam Rutherford and Jessica Fostekew are joined plant scientist Tracy Lawson, biologist Jonathan Silvertown, and comedian Alex Kealy to uncover the hidden ingenuity of leaves. They explore how leaves evolved, why plants face a constant battle between thirst and starvation, and whether understanding their clever adaptations could help us engineer crops for a hotter, drier future.

Miksi niin moni asia luonnossa haluaa olla jäkälä?

Maailman jäkälälajeista tunnetaan mahdollisesti vasta puolet, eikä tiede osaa vielä varmasti sanoa edes sitä, mikä oikeastaan on jäkälä. Miksi jäkälän syvin olemus on niin vaikeaa tavoittaa? Entä löytyykö jäkälästä seuraava ratkaisu antibioottiresistenssiin tai lääke Alzheimerin tautiin? Yliopistotutkija Annina Kantelinen selittää, miksi jäkälätutkimuksessa on otettu viime aikoina isoja harppauksia ja miksi jäkälöiden tutkimus on nyt ehkä tärkeämpää kuin koskaan. Utelias mieli on Helsingin yliopiston podcast, joka puhuu tieteestä tunteella.

How Love Really Works

Most of us have ideas about what we’re looking for in a romantic partner. But psychologist Paul Eastwick says these preferences are surprisingly poor guides for finding love. He explains why attraction is so difficult to predict, and what the research suggests is the best way to meet someone with whom you'll connect. Then, in a new installment of “Your Questions Answered,” psychologist Ed Lemay responds to your questions about how we project our own thoughts and feelings onto other people, and how these projections shape our relationships. In our companion conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, we talk with Paul Eastwick about online dating apps. He says apps can powerfully shape our experience of meeting potential romantic partners — often not for the better. If you're a subscriber, that episode is called “The Online Dating Trap.” If you're not yet a subscriber, you can listen to that conversation with a free seven-day trial to Hidden Brain+ by going to support.hiddenbrain.org.

The Rothschild Dynasty 💰🏰 | Banking Empires, Family Secrets, and Marriages That Shaped a Fortune | Boring History for Sleep

Few family names have become as closely associated with wealth and financial influence as the Rothschilds. Their story began in 18th-century Frankfurt, where Mayer Amschel Rothschild built a banking business that his five sons would expand across Europe's major financial centers. This episode follows the rise of the Rothschild dynasty through generations of banking, business alliances, political connections, and family traditions. Discover how the family established branches in London, Paris, Vienna, Naples, and Frankfurt, building an international network during an era of wars, revolutions, and rapid economic change. A particularly intriguing part of their history lies in their approach to marriage. In the 19th century, some Rothschild relatives married within the extended family, helping preserve wealth and strengthen connections between different branches of the dynasty. These arrangements reflected the social conventions and inheritance concerns of their time, though they also raised difficult questions about family loyalty, personal choice, and the boundaries between private life and business. How did a family business become an international financial dynasty? What role did marriage and inheritance play in preserving its fortune? And how did the Rothschilds adapt as the economic world around them changed? Settle in for a journey through the history of one of Europe's most famous banking families, exploring its ambitions, traditions, and complicated legacy. Boring History for Sleep — Soft stories about wealth, family, and the forces that shaped the modern world.
