  • SCIENCE OF BABIES

ABOUT THE SHOW

Explore the amazing biomechanical benchmarks in the first twelve months of a human's life on earth.

If change is drama, the most dramatic moment in a human's life is birth. The first breath is itself a miracle of amazing complexity. In a matrix like white void we take an objective, 360° look at the outer wrapping of a newborn human. With CGI and fMRI, we explore beneath the cuddly pink skin to watch the lungs kick in.
We examine the swiftly-beating heart that will grow with explosive speed. We watch the rapidlyexpanding skeleton, and the muscles that mature toward crawling with every little kick. We see how fast the cells are dividing, how swiftly the neurosynapses are building and connecting, creating a brand new intellect. We look out at the world through a newborn's eyes, and discover how they sharpen their focus each day.
