    The fortified metropolis: Constantinople - Lars Brownworth

    The world owes much of its cultural legacy to Constantinople's walls. When Constantinople was under seige by neighboring enemies, the Roman city's elaborate system of moats, outer walls, and inner walls stood tall. Surviving numerous fire attacks, the walls were eventually brought down by more modern tools of warfare, but, thankfully, classical culture survived.Lesson by Lars Brownworth, animation by Woland.

    Dive into four different voting systems: plurality, instant runoff, tactical, and the Condorcet method, and find out which is fairest. --Imagine we want to build a new space port at one of four recently settled Martian bases, and are holding a vote to choose its location. Of the 100 colonists on Mars, 42 live on West Base, 26 on North Base, 15 on South Base, and 17 on East Base. Assuming that everyone wants the port to be closest to their home base, what is the fairest way to conduct the vote?

    Your smartphone camera isn't quite as impressive as you believe - Rachel Yang

    Learn more at https://brilliant.org/TedEd--When the Visualphone VP210 hit the market in 1999, it advertised a never-before-seen feature: a camera. With only .11 megapixels, the Visualphone is a relic compared to modern devices. But while this technology has improved dramatically, engineers are rapidly approaching a hard limit on phone camera quality. So, what's limiting them?

    Why are there so many distinct dog breeds? - Kathleen Morrill Pirovich

    Trace the evolution of dog breeds, and find out why their characteristics, behaviors, and personalities vary so widely.--The immense physical variety of dogs makes them among the world’s most diverse species and likely the one with the greatest range in size. A Pomeranian, for example, might weigh 2 kilograms, while a Mastiff could tip the scale to 100. So, why is this? And what does a dog’s breed actually say about them? Kathleen Morrill Pirovich explores the dizzying diversity of dogs.Lesson by Kathleen Morrill Pirovich, directed by Anastasiia Falileieva, Studio Plastic Bag.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/do-different-dog-breeds-really-have-different-personalities-kathleen-morrill-pirovichDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/do-different-dog-breeds-really-have-different-personalities-kathleen-morrill-pirovich/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://fanasyafa.myportfolio.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
