👁The Infinite Hotel Paradox
🧠Jeff Dekofsky
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣The Infinite Hotel, a thought experiment created by German mathematician David Hilbert, is a hotel with an infinite number of rooms. Easy to comprehend, right? Wrong.

👁How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed
🧠Daniel Levitin
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣You're not at your best when you're stressed. In fact, your brain has evolved over millennia to release cortisol in stressful situations, inhibiting rational, logical thinking but potentially helping you survive, say, being attacked by a lion. Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin thinks there's a way to avoid making critical mistakes in stressful situations, when your thinking becomes clouded -- the pre-mortem. "We all are going to fail now and then," he says. "The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be."

Noah Charney explains the painstaking process of restoring priceless artifacts. [Directed by Michael Kalopaidis, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Manolis Manoli].

👁 A brief history of Spanish
🧠Ilan Stavans
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Beginning in the third century BCE, the Romans conquered the Iberian peninsula. This period gave rise to several regional languages in the area that's now Spain, including Castilian, Catalan, and Galician. One of these would become Spanish— but not for another 1,500 years. Those years tell the origin story of what's become a global modern language. Ilan Stavans traces the evolution of Spanish.
