Curiosity NOW 2026-04-08 2026-04-08 Early in their history, humans realize that they can affect nature by controlling fire, making tools and taming wild animals; what they were not given by nature, they harnessed in other species. 2026-04-08 From the mysterious megaliths in prehistory to the first hot air balloons and the construction of the Giza pyramid complex, ancestors have always observed and experimented to gain a better understanding of their world. 2026-04-08 A journey through the key events that have allowed people to better understand the world of microbe. 2026-04-08 A journey through the key moments that enabled humanity to discover plastics. 2026-04-08 Long-distance communication, moving stealthily through the dark without being detected, and observation from afar have all become commonplace; at any moment, one can know exactly where one is on the planet. 2026-04-08 The understanding of energy enables people to send rockets into space; learning what exactly is energy and where it comes from. 2026-04-08 Running climate simulations on a global scale; learning to control rivers and protect against flooding. 2026-04-08 The development of incredible technologies, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large; a journey through the key moments that allow humanity to discover quantum physics. 2026-04-08 Many natural phenomena are based on the laws of physics; forecasting the weather several days in advance; asking if it is possible to predict everything. 2026-04-08 Countless machines are used to perform hard work in one's daily life, with each of them obeying a specific program custom-written in a particular language. 2026-04-08 Handling numbers so large that all the books in the world would not be enough to contain them; societies are profoundly reliant on an increasingly complex equation. 2026-04-08 Distant ancestors were afraid of lightning and thought that it was sent by the gods; today, electricity is part of people's daily lives. 2026-04-08 Early in their history, humans realize that they can affect nature by controlling fire, making tools and taming wild animals;
