How humans tamed fire | How fire changed humanity | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2020-03-06 | If you ask us, existence started with a big bang and humanity prevailed with fire. It sounds like quite a statement to make but think about it: how different would life on Earth be like for humans sans fire?No cooking, no warmth, no light, A LOT of predators … no, a lot of things. It’s safe to say that the first true technical innovation that would carve the path of humanity as we know it today is fire.Sure, now we’ve got electricity, internet and so we are far from regarding fire as the best invention of our times. In fact, we’re at the point where we’re fearing that our microwave may one day heat up one too many pre-cooked meals and rebel against us (check out our video on AI technology if you want to learn more) but we had to start somewhere, right? So how did fire shape humanity? How did we manage to tame it? How did controlling it evolve into the technology we have nowadays? You’re watching Explore Mode and today we are diving into fire and how taming it changed humanity forever.

Artificial Intelligence, Explained | The rise of AI | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2020-02-21 | Find out if robots will take your job: willrobotstakemyjob.comShould we be afraid of AI? Afraid of robots terminating the human race? Afraid of our daily devices slowly gaining consciousness? Okay maybe these scenarios sound very far fetched, but according to estimates by Oxford Economics, 47 percent of all jobs across the United States are at risk of becoming automated. And Elon Musk thinks we’re all doomed.Is this the beginning of the singularity? Do you know what is the singularity is? We’ll explain that in a bit. Artificial Intelligence has been around for quite some time now and even when it wasn’t around it was making guest appearances in our favorite sci-fi shows and movies.Since the dawn of technology, humans have wondered, “Could we create a machine that works like — or even better than — us?” The answer to this question seems to be a resounding yes. Machine learning is happening all around us: tablets, cellphones, computers, not to mention YouTube, the platform you’re watching this video on right now — they’re all rigged with it.There are many questions that arise when we think of A.I. How far are we from going from an r2d2 to a c3po? Or maybe you believe a Terminator-esque scenario is more likely?How possible is it to create a machine with a conscience? Will the rise of A.I. be the beginning of the end for humans? And how will the evolution of A.I. actually affect our day to day lives?You’re watching Explore Mode and today we are diving into the rise of artificial intelligence.

The origin of Chinatowns | How Chinatowns came to be | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2020-01-23 | It may come as a surprise to many but the oldest Chinatown in the world is not in the U.S. but actually in a country much closer to the real China. In 1594, Governor Luis Pérez Dasmariñas created Binondo, a settlement for Catholic Chinese migrants who had moved into the Philippines. Binondo is considered by many to be the first and oldest Chinatown in the world. Also, did you know that Mexico also has a large Chinatown complete with underground tunnels and secret passages?But have you ever wondered…. Why are there so many Chinatowns around the world? Of course, ethnic enclaves are common in big cities but none compare with the popularity of Chinatowns. So why and when did Chinatowns become a thing?

What it takes to become an astronaut | How does NASA select astronauts? | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-11-07 | On October 18, NASA conducted its first all-female spacewalk. NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir put on their suits to replace a failed power controller outside the ISS in an operation that lasted seven hours and seventeen minutes. This was Meir’s first spacewalk and the fourth for Koch, who has now accumulated almost 28 hours of spacewalking time. So far, we’ve sent humans to orbit around space, we’ve sent them to the moon and we have sent probes to Mars, Venus, Titan, and even some asteroids and comets. So what’s next? Well, NASA wants to send humans to Mars by the 2030s. They already have a 5 phase plan, operating within the Lunar Vicinity. Their goal? “to enable a capability to extend human presence, including potential human habitation on another celestial body and a thriving space economy in the 21st Century.”Surely, astronauts selected for this program will face even more… interesting selection and training program, than the process astronaut candidates face today.So what does it take to become an astronaut? What type of training do selected candidates go through? And how much of their time do astronauts actually spend in space?You’re watching Explore Mode and in this episode, we will tell you all about NASA’s astronaut selection process.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Music:TITLE : Marine Snow and Last StrawMUSIC BY : SutheeComposerbit.ly/2EeiVVpsutheecomposer.comA New Day in a New Sector By Chris Zabriskiehttp://chriszabriskie.comUnder the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licensing terms~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sources:NASA Astronaut Group 22 nasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/candidatesnasa.gov/astronauts/biographies/jonny-kimNASA Astronaut Selection Requirementsastronauts.nasa.gov/content/faq.htmnasa.gov/audience/forstudents/postsecondary/features/F_Astronaut_Requirements.htmlpopsci.com/astronaut-candidacy-nasaNASA’s First Seven Astronautsnasa.gov/mission_pages/mercury/missions/program-toc.htmlnasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_157.htmlNASA Astronaut Trainingnasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/606877main_FS-2011-11-057-JSC-astro_trng.pdfscience.howstuffworks.com/10-surprising-facts-about-astronaut-training2.htmnasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/160410main_space_training_fact_sheet.pdfscience.howstuffworks.com/astronaut4.htmNASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratorynasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/167748main_FS_NBL508c.pdfFirst All-Female Spacewalkblogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2019/10/18/nasa-astronauts-wrap-up-historic-all-woman-spacewalkNASA’s Plans To Put Humans On Marsnasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nss_chart_v23.pdfnasa.gov/feature/fridays-all-woman-spacewalk-the-basicsbgr.com/2019/10/22/spacewalk-glove-nasa-iss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Produced by Sofia K.Edited by Amanda Lee
The Origins of Tattoos | Why are Tattoos Permanent? | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-10-31 | What do former president Teddy Roosevelt and rapper Lil Wayne have in common?They both have gotten tatted up.Surprised? Don’t be. Teddy isn’t the only historical figure to have had his body inked. Winston Churchill, George Orwell, King Harold II, and even Republican congressman Barry Goldwater all had tats. Granted, Roosevelt’s family crest chest piece is more conservative than the assortment of tattoos Lil Wayne sports on his face, however, it goes to show that tattoos go beyond showing rebellion and status — they’re also a form of artistic expression and remembrance. The practice of tattooing goes back thousands of years. The over 5,000-year-old mummified body of Otzi The Iceman shows 61 permanent markings that are suspected to be the result of acupuncture treatment. Now, that’s not to say tattoos originated from communities around the Ötztal Alps, where Otzi was found, or that all tattoos in ancient times were linked to medical procedures. Many civilizations across history had different versions of body modifications that involved inking skin, and each of them attributed different meanings to the practice.

The Origin of Halloween | Why do we wear costumes for Halloween? | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-10-10 | So, why do we celebrate Halloween?Putting on a costume and going out trick or treating is the most well-known Halloween tradition. The top two costumes worn by adults in 2018? Witch and vampire. Even pets participate in this holiday. The top costume for our furry friends that same year was a pumpkin. Halloween is a holiday that celebrates all things terrifying but its origins are closer to all things holy. In fact, the celebration was once called All Hallows Eve, and it celebrated the lives of Catholic saints — but more on that later. So when did we start to dress up as monsters and carve out pumpkins for a holiday that commemorated saints? And what does trick or treating have to do with an ancient Catholic holiday?You’re watching Explore Mode, and in this episode, we’re going to dive into the origins of Halloween. 01:27 What is Samhain?02:28 What is All Saints Day?

How Humans Are Causing The Sixth Mass Extinction | The Holocene Extinction, Explained | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-10-03 | Scientists believe life on earth is going through its sixth major mass extinction. The cause? Not a massive asteroid, not an enormous flood. But us — humans.According to the Center for Biological Diversity, 99 percent of the species threatened today have fallen victim to habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species into foreign habitats, and of course, climate change. All of which are, you guessed it, human-driven phenomena.Before humans, mass extinctions were triggered by volcanic activity, changes in ocean water composition, continental drifts, and climate change — all of which arose due to natural environmental shifts.So, if mass extinctions are a result of natural events, why are we putting the blame on humans this time around? What exactly are the human activities driving species to die-out? And are we really going through the sixth mass extinction? There are many reasons why scientists believe humans are contributing to the rapid loss of biodiversity on Earth, but in this video, we will focus on four: - Climate Change - Habitat Destruction - Hunting by humans (more specifically poaching and overfishing) - And the disruption of ecosystems through the introduction of foreign speciesYou’re watching Explore Mode and in this episode, we are going to dive into the human activities that are destroying biodiversity on Earth, causing what some scientists call the Holocene extinction. 01:59 How climate change affects Earth / The effects of climate change on animal extinction02:59 Human driven habitat destruction / How humans are destroying natural habitats03:57 Palm oil production / Why is palm oil bad for the environment?05:19 Poaching and overfishing 07:01 Invasive species 08:45 The extinction of the Dodo / Dodo extinctionMusic:Movement Proposition, Dangerous, Kumasi Groove Plus Flugelhorn and Silver FlameKevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Action and Adventure by Shane Ivers - httpswww.silvermansound.comSources:https://news.brown.edu/articles/2014/09/extinctionsbiologicaldiversity.org/programs/biodiversity/elements_of_biodiversity/extinction_crisiscosmosmagazine.com/palaeontology/big-five-extinctionshttps://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/spm/nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/deforestationiucnredlist.orgtheconversation.com/climate-explained-how-much-of-climate-change-is-natural-how-much-is-man-made-123604http://www.poachingfacts.com/poaching-statistics/tiger-poaching-statisticsnationalgeographic.com/animals/reference/poaching-animalsworldwildlife.org/species/sumatran-tigerworldwildlife.org/species/sumatran-rhinoiucn.org/resources/issues-briefs/palm-oil-and-biodiversitywwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oilrainforestconcern.org/forest-facts/why-are-rainforests-being-destroyedworldwildlife.org/species/tigerportals.iucn.org/library/sites/library/files/documents/RL-4-017.pdfscientificamerican.com/article/scientists-have-reconstructed-the-genome-of-a-bird-extinct-for-700-yearsnwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Threats-to-Wildlife/Invasive-Specieswwf.panda.org/our_work/wildlife/problems/invasive_speciesProduced by Sofia K.Edited by Amanda Lee

Hong Kong Protests: What do they want? | Hong Kong Protests, explained | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-08-23 | ***CLARIFICATION***05:28 - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and The New Territories are separate regions. Hong Kong Island and Kowloon were ceded in 1860. The New Territories were leased in 1898. It’s been months since Hong Kong demonstrators took to the streets in what started as protests against a controversial extradition bill and have now turned into a massive movement against China’s authoritarian government. The peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations quickly turned violent when protestors continued to march in areas of the cities banned by the police. This, unfortunately, gave authorities the perfect excuse to meet protestors with violence. According to The New York Times, Hong Kong police have fired nearly 2000 rounds of teargas against demonstrators in these past months. In late July, a group of men dressed in white and armed with wooden sticks and steel rods appeared in the city’s Yuen Long MTR station at midnight attacking protestors and by-standers, leaving 45 injured, including one in critical condition. Many believe these armed thugs were paid by the Hong Kong government though Chief Executive, Carrie Lam denies these allegations.Meanwhile, Chinese media claims the protests have all been orchestrated by the CIA, describing them as: “behavior that is close to terrorism.” and carrying out military demonstrations on the other side of the border in an attempt to intimidate the unrelenting protestors. So far, it hasn’t worked. The movement won’t seem to stop until the Hong Kong government listens to their demands. But what exactly are the protestors demanding and why do their demands matter?Key Timestamps02:01 The five demands: Hong Kong Protests02:31 Hong Kong Extradition Bill, explained05:10 Hong Kong history crash course05:56 Hong Kong elections, explainedHong Kong Protests: The Five Demands | Hong Kong Protests, explained | EXPLORE MODE Music:I Can Feel It Coming by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Blind Spot and Hide MUSIC BY : SutheeComposerbit.ly/2EeiVVpsutheecomposer.comSources:Hong Kong Protestsnytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/18/world/asia/hong-kong-tear-gas.htmlscmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3019524/least-10-injured-baton-wielding-mob-suspected-triadhttp://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1161845.shtmlbbc.com/news/world-asia-china-49348462theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/18/chinese-military-police-poised-for-action-over-hong-kong-protests-shenzeneconomist.com/briefing/2019/08/08/hong-kong-remains-crucially-important-to-mainland-chinaHong Kong history and electionsbbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40426827encyclopedia.com/places/asia/chinese-political-geography/hong-konghttps://www.basiclaw.gov.hk/tc/index/index.htmlhttps://www.eac.hk/en/about/chairman.htmen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Hong_KongProduced by Sofia K.Edited by Amanda Lee
The SAT Adversity Index, Explained | The history behind the SAT | EXPLORE MODE Explore Mode 2019-08-16 | The adversity index is a list of factors about a student’s life and background designed to take into account their socio-economic background when looking at their SAT scores. The College Board designed it with the goal of creating a more holistic profile of students. The index includes a “disadvantage number” scored between 1 and 100. Students will not be able to view this score and will, therefore, be unable to know if it had an impact on their admissions decisions. The index was first piloted by 10 colleges in 2017 and in 2018, 50 schools ranging from Ivy League to public tested out the system.The creation of the adversity index is understandable, but so is the skepticism and controversy surrounding it. There are still several questions that are left unanswered for people in academia and students alike:Where is the College Board getting their data from to measure this adversity index? how exactly are they interpreting this data? Should more criteria be considered in the index? And most importantly, can the adversity index be part of the solution to the complex problem that is social inequality in the U.S.?
