Richard Hammond‘s Invisible Worlds Is A Documentary Series Which Sees Richard Taking A Look Into The Parallel Universe That Lies Beyond The Limits Of The Human Eye. The Series Uses The Latest State-of-the-art Technology Available To Discover The World Beyond These Limits.
The human eye is a remarkable piece of precision engineering, but it is also extremely limited. Beyond the narrow range o***ht that makes up the familiar colours of the rainbow is a vast spectrum o***ht, entirely unseen.
But what if we could see beyond the narrow boundaries of our eyes and peer into this invisible realm?
Richard Hammond does just that, using groundbreaking new imaging technologies to take the viewer on a breathtaking journey of discovery beyond the visible spectrum, seeing the world, quite literally, in a whole new light.
From death-defying aerial repairmen in the United States using ultraviolet cameras to seek out an invisible force that lurks unseen on power lines, to German scientists unlocking the secrets of animal locomotion with the world‘s most powerful moving x-ray camera, to infrared cameras that can finally reveal the secrets within a humble beehive, he shows how new technologies are letting us see our world anew.
3)Off the Scale
The human eye can see extraordinary detail, but the eye of a needle held at arm‘s length is pretty much at the limit of our vision. Anything smaller is simply invisible, at least to the naked eye.
But what if we could see this hidden world all around us in greater detail and magnification than ever before? How different would our familiar surroundings then seem?
Richard Hammond explores the astonishing miniature universe all around us, revealing that small is not only beautiful, it can also be very, very powerful.
From seeing the microscopic changes to ice crystals that can trigger an avalanche to watching in horror the invisible aftermath of a sneeze on a commuter train and learning how the surface of an ordinary-looking plant hides an astounding secret that will make walking on the moon safer, Richard harnesses cutting-edge technologies to transport the viewer into a spectacular micro realm.
