In this video, we explore one of the strangest and most unsettling scientific experiments in history: Universe 25. What happens when a species is given everything they need and want? What happens when there is no friction in the world, and the world becomes utopian? Universe 25 reveals counterintuitive answers to these questions that are as disturbing as they are fascinating. In a modern world increasingly fraught with noise, stimulation, comparison, and access to everything at all times, Universe 25 is eerily relevant.
