mm hm. mm mm. mm mm, mm hm . massive groups of people how to avoid disaster. we take a look at crowd research also the war in ukraine is affecting the science world as well. we visited to researchers who had to play and eternal

life as an other. talk. what is already possible in the digital parallel world. old is a mo, coming up ah, hello and welcome to tomorrow to day. the science show on the w in a world is fairly uneasy. leg experienced justin bieber up close and personal for maybe that's not everyone's dream. but here it's possible with his digital avatar. it's a doing the corona virus pandemic, the trend towards visual concepts that avatar became stronger than ever when he was wrath, had travis scott's appearance in the game fortnight is considered one of the biggest and most expensive avatar events. over 12000000 people attended the virtual confession. virtual influence is not based on specific human role models or another trend in the

a tom market like little mikaela. please make your st. will inevitably make it possible one day to meet people who have long since died in the real world. i am not so he'll albert einstein nearly an hour thought. well, as i liked all myself, a husband, a digital twin of the physicist albert einstein, to bring him to life as an avatar. an actor rehearsed einstein's gestures and voice, then his face will features the recreated of the computer. and indeed, the einstein avatar is as funny as, as we alive predecessor, i am the president. ah, i am sorry to hear to be president of anything he said, dismay task, so much responsibility. and so little time to study or explore free. living the dead live on as avatars. for now it's still experimental, but in the future technology could change the way we look at the pat. in put some babbles back, visual effects experts are making

a 3 d scan of holocaust survivor eva o mouth. at one of europe's 1st volume metric, video studios with a founded legs, we were the last ones for our transport went from said it where we were then transferred henley von from novak he to auschwitz. now how silly no mother was of normally when you create 3 d people for games or other environments, hundreds of people are involved to simulate clothing will hair huffman real people in 3 d i or paint them. that's all god in the recording room here. i can walk in, shoot like with a normal camera, press start, stop, and everything's and moving photo realistic 3 d. and that's the real game changer. what's new about this technology? on these i told you 32 cameras capture eva o mouth, down to the smallest detail. good. a computer uses this

to create a 3 d hola gram. this is the spirit is i image is different now it's nicely of bending. is this more realistic in 3 dimensional resiliency? it's important to me that this be preserved for future generations to see on at holland if this film of technology enables that. but it's fine with me. beat that done is the semi ferry, not doc when bleed on can placed the volumetric holograms into any environment such as mixed reality apps on smartphones. come get slammed, i can place myself anywhere in the room. i can turn around, make myself longer or smaller. and now i'm really in the normal video within fence, so another person could stand behind me record videos with me and share them with other friends. for example of name on judgment on importance was retiring. he believes that in the future mixed reality glasses will replace smartphones will be able to view 3 d hola, grams at any time. so even the dead can continue to visit us in everyday life.

haven't guns on em, it's all have a very different relationship to the past that i live at. one that doesn't end right when someone dies. might. if i scanned my grandma, i could have her with me in my living room each day, or whenever i wonder if i could imagine experiencing her as a hologram at a grave site, is it on over and others experiencing this to? so you could really see this person buried there, although there are lots of exciting application scenarios out of the new scenario. application scenarios that still seems strange. yon phillip stine explores the effect of virtual figures. can we truly mourn the dead if we still meet them? digitally? is thomas hunger force? and i imagine that we're just at the beginning of something new as mankind is developing a different view of technology for from 5th young, 50 years ago. many things that are normal today, we're still creepy and scary, dumb it with and talks thought, i don't want anything to do with that. and if you can see even now that younger generations use technology quite differently than older ones do. when i turn our

own wrong with it, i think a natural way of dealing with it will emerge over time. and maybe it'll be a good way for people to still feel a connection to those who died on if have been known so soon. but where's all this lead to long in the future? will our consciousness also be uploaded to the digital world? the amazon series upload, portrays just such a scenario. welcome to upload. nathan made it to lakeview the lucky duck. oh, after an accident, the main character nathan gets himself uploading to the cloud and leaves as an avatar in an animated luxury resort. he some kind of old fashioned room. okay. over a lake, a realistic scenario, freeze manufacturer. i know that right now, we're still quite far from it from there. so anyone who claims it'll be possible in 10 years or so. that's nonsense. it's clicking 20 or 40 or so years into the future

. the way machines systems, data storage office and everything are developing the can fit. you can say that at some point will likely reach complexity where something like that will be possible . vishna that we can basically store ourselves somewhere as a backup and then have a kind of eternal phase and it's a long term goal. people have been working on this kind of thing for ages 56, it's still really science fiction. when it's, i mean everybody dreams about it, but i'd like to see it happen some day. that option exists since whether you want it or not. it's a dream that has yet to become reality. for now life as an avatar we means just an illusion. mm hm. in the real world, different rules applying here, having to leave, especially during times of war for the sad part of everyday life. these to reset

his, had to leave the ukrainian homeland. the 2 scientists fled from the home town of cave to leone in france. there at least they can continue their work research into new cancer therapies. the city of leon is the 3rd largest in france after paris and ma say it offers a high quality of life. it so so popular city to study in the clouds. bene, university is a hub for science medicine and biotechnology. over 40000 students are currently enrolled here. i lena, whose net silver is from ukraine lou together with her colleague natalia do banker . the biologist fled the russian bombing of keith and arrived here in march. in so walk or mortally be thought over what they brought to be able to continue scientific work. it's crucial to preserve my mental health. and those of us live in

such a stressful and painful situation via i have to keep my mind on my hands. busy of all this work helps me live that mexico ash. the core of helena and natalia's work is here. a biology lab at the university. the law center to review literature for the 2 are already part of this european project. while in keefe and thieves have been the decision, right, right. you're studying nano particles and they impact on cell culture. what this is for food ah, you see. but this hands on experience in the lab in leon, is new for them. so is the technology high powered microscopes that allow cells to be studied in depth? the ultimate aim of the project is to help detect and treat cancerous tumors

without the harmful side effects of chemo or radiation therapy. we're record left more the upper. why shall i d, 's, mom? sure, it will be in the in dismal go with here we are on the threshold of developing a revolutionary treatment of the menial because there's a deep understanding of fundamental mechanisms, hassle of cell life, of cancer, genesis of the action of potential drugs in i'm so proud and so excited and will not, we could actually win the fight against cancer in the near future. horrible. helena and natalia will also play crucial roles here, especially during the projects next stage. when the nano particles be tested on mice, they are here because they are excellent, very good, the strong experiment experience on any more studies. okay? and this is good point for us because of the know how to do it, go fast and swipe down on the, on the global vision of the project can produce on about the go to test them. we do

it the step we study on central job, but they're of important because what they're doing on animals is real conditions. it's exactly what will happen when we read this on humans. the work and life on the campus provides a welcome distraction. but the situation in ukraine is never, far from helena's mind. 03. ah, her husband, alexander a physicist, had to stay in cave, or helena made the decision to take her children with her to safety till young. they live here on the campus or not. 7 for her, like these are the most difficult thing for me, is to see that my children are far removed from their familiar surroundings and routines. far away from their friendless little company, they're uncomfortable here or back, not because of the conditions, but because they're up rooted from their lives

a vision. and they asked me every day when we'll go back to care for them. but i can't say because i don't know over here or thought of soon, and i wish plenty of time to day. the scientists decide to take a day off campus and explore leon a little with their kids. the 17th century town hall on plastic to hall is a landmark in the city. as is the dramatic font san bastardi. i live with you, but the talk isn't only about the weather and the architecture in helena and natalia, who have worked together for years, admit that their discussions often revolve around that cancer research. not really a passion that their children share. we often argue about different approaches to cancer. we both had the same scientific mentor,

and his viewpoint is that cancer is not a disease, but rather an evolutionary process, but we can't avoid it. and we can't concord stuff, but i agree with that. but helena doesn't, she thinks that we can eradicate cancer with maybe not now, but in the future was the truth is probably somewhere in between. lou leo's river lesson a bridge close to traffic leads to the old town i for the to researches the sites here are a reminder of their own home city and what they had to leave behind yard. the course of the news. i'm not getting most of you and i hope and believe very much that will return to give me will go provide him with we shall absolutely need to go about because a big part of my life is that you are who are you this? when that does happen, natalia and helena a determined to take back the know how in skills they've picked up in leon to help

strengthen the development of science and research in ukraine. bab, ah, now we move on to something more airy ah, sucks of birds, and most to piece of mass coordination. each bird can initiate a maneuver and the front will follow. fish even have an extra organ to avoid colliding. the lateral line organ with it, they can proceed when the pressure around them changes. ah, the head is also important for many mammals, especially if they have to migrate long distances like these carridy. but what about as humans? queues, train stations shopping st. grounds form in

a variety of places that's often unpleasant and sometimes even dangerous, some quantity. what makes it an ideal topic for research escape agonies as about understanding what happens in a crowd like that with lots of people in by feeling mentioned pos, yet the methodist on the physicist armin's i fried and his team have been studying this topic for many years. to learn more about people in crowds, they simulate various crowded situations with around 1500 chests. object participants squeezed through simulated drain doors, or stand in line for concerts. every movement is meticulously evaluated. evelyn, cuz i'm vexing. come up, we have 16 cameras and toto hang on the la clothing ones that hang from the ceiling to monitor people's colored cabs and the codes on them. um the scientists to link these code to body data. participants fill out questionnaires about how they feel

in crowded situations. their inner state of mind is assessed to divert method, he hats. in some experiments we measure hydrate and skin conductivity, finding its home to figure out how stressed the subjects are. he and his test because the ones and the main reason for crowding is high motivation in unfavorable spatial conditions. the larger the crowd, the more dangerous the situation, is the course of anger from in a large crowd of 2 and 3400 people can't. i can't help it at all is community limit of i little so i can't even get to the middle as the crowd. so dance that there is no way to intervene. yoga will answer card. one solution is narrow access routes. q management systems that deliberately constrict spaces, experiments show this doesn't lead to over crowding. on the contrary, another effect demand. another effect that you get from these queueing systems is that things are fairer. does as crystal to get. because inequity can be

a cause of over crowding. that come to him, done, and i'm not, he on off does nothing. this comes into play, in particular, when it comes to the distribution of resources, such as a seat on the train, or a certain place to stand if a concept standard staple, who gets in some way 1st, then fairness becomes incredibly visible. on go up with this back, especially during the karone of irish pandemic, it became clear, equitable q management systems help us keep our distance. wait signals, clear signage and path markings lead to less over crowding. that's crucial and spots where space is limited. if we have enough space, we orient ourselves intuitively, for example, along the lines of sight and keep a certain distance from other people. the seemingly random distribution on the

train platform is by no means random, as you mentioned, torn so as people act like that, standing somewhere quite randomly. but in reality, that spot is chosen quite precisely because for example, people always stand the same distance apart and under. oh, we choose equal distances because we don't want to crowd our fellow human beings, nor should the distance between us be too great. when things get crowded, people seem to behave like a heard at 1st glance. but unlike animals, humans like the tools needed to intuitively orient themselves in a dense crowd. taylor m d m. far animals. this exhibit swarm or hood behavior have a kind of innate repertoire of behaviors that help them react in that situation. they pay attention to the other animal that keeps certain distances, know their place, and react automatic clayton as humans. we simply don't have that programming from

and must create meaning for ourselves in that situation. then we have to consider how to react to that whatsoever. mison, believe it or 100 voice, if people are highly motivated to leave an overcrowded place, chaos can ensue. individuals feel overwhelmed and things get dangerous. like at the love parade, to bows and 10 induce burg. western germany, when tens of thousands tried to reach the exit all at once, some fell and were trembled by the masses. was the son that's a few of us mentioned that leads to people just losing their footing to fall into the ground. and then not being able to move because of the crowd and ceiling these next to them. and so one goal of these experiments was to see exactly how these people use their legs, arms i and body in a crowd on cocora park and looked them using this data. the researchers try to determine how much freedom of movement feet need at what walking speeds to prevent falls. because though countless large events have been held,

there's still no standard to predict when a crowd will get out of control, or how many people must be involved. xy freedom team is working to develop such standards based on their experiments. distancing rules help, though not always a fit test hello should have his team. what if, what am i losing or what is the motivation? what is it worth for me to act this way at the highest? if i have to wait for 2 hours for the next train, then it might seem to me that the karone of ira's distancing rules are worth very much. but experiments also show that people do not always feel uncomfortable when they're packed in like sardines, after all, there are situations where we want to be part of the crowd because it's only human to seek proximity to others, despite the possible dangers. ah,

the current of ours pandemic has also illustrated one risk of crowds infections. but it's not always clear how many people have been infected in an area. still the south covey to virus leaves us traces that can reveal mo, it not only gets into the mouth and lungs, but also into the intestines. and finally, into the toilet. mm hm. it's a trail that every person leaves behind all the way to the sewage treatment plant, where it can be collected and analyzed in the laboratory. ah, this shows completely without swaps. how many people are infected with the corona virus and with which virus variant as well? another valuable use of waste water. this is waste water.

it comes from sa, brooklyn, in western germany and is purified at the largest sewage treatment plant insulins. 25000 cubic meters of waste water on dry days. enough to fill more than 130000 bath tubs. though in rainy weather, that amount can triple tina follow tomb conducts wastewater analysis. recently, she has been checking sewage samples for the corona virus, believing that this could be a better way to detect rising infection rates when coven test results. they are fight i by my better money. the advantage of monitoring waste water is that it gives us data on everyone who's infected, says everyone has to go to the toilet and everything we excrete ends up at the sewage treatment plant placement compact. thank you, since we got human waste from everyone in your plans catchment area, we can also find fragments of the virus that infected people excrete into the waste

water in a buffer. so we can catch our reported pace is to as not everyone knows that they're infected or gets test it infect you on, on that and tested the sewage at the treatment pont is already tested for harmful substances nitrate concentration and p h value, an auto sampler. that's a bottle every 2 hours. benyamin voice examines the samples at the same time each day. an extra sample is now taken twice a week for the corona virus monitoring pilot project is of lottery us rules. look all over google as follows. for corona prior sampling was given the larger bottles for our sampling on our daily checks would as it was, and this large bottle will be kept frozen for a month. so we always have a reserve sample one along the wall almost 2 years ago. susanna lightner from the technical university of darmstadt, found that sampling wastewater can show how quickly and widely corona virus has spread through a region. back then she and her team was searching for an early warning system for

coven 19 waves, and found it in waste water. her method could even detect how quickly different variance of the virus was spreading in a given area. that wasn't man, that the data could be used to estimate the infection rate in the plants catchment area. and decide whether to test more, coven testing or less. and whether to relax cove, it restrictions depending on wastewater values, rigor rubber and my boss of him. many countries, including the netherlands, spain, and the u. s. quickly adopted the system in part because it's cheaper than conducting hundreds of thousands of individual coven tests. now 20 german municipalities are taking part in the waste water monitoring pilot project. even more had applied to do so. tina follow tune from supp looked and thinks it's already a success. it's. it's all that d infected people actually start

shedding the virus on a few days before they develop symptoms and to begin the other. all size or waste water allows you to recognize much earlier where the trend is heading. at ken, ward at hand hitting it as a back gives us a head start of roughly 5 to 10 days from within tagging. zion's proximity to france is another aspect of the project. french waste water is purified and now monitored here too. so is the influence of the country's different rules and restrictions on cov, it waves the results should prove useful even once the pandemic is over. but most of that comes out. okay, now we're going to extend this to other pathogens. it might be, for instance, to use it to monitor influenza or polio which continue to be problematic, not before. so we hope to gain experience here. that's about how that can work in practice. as i thought, factors often cindy and cotton. currently,

the waste water samples from across germany, the to being tested for the corona virus, a sent to a central lab by mail. it's hoped that eventually testing could be done on the spot . then the results would be available even more quickly. ah, that's it from tomorrow. to day d w science program, feel free to tune in again next week until then. stay curious. ah ah ah

ah, with you ah! this is where the rainbow shines the brightest home to queer people from around the world. with trolls, history was written more than 100 years ago. dive into queer culture

out and proud and look back art 2190 minutes on d. w. 2016 as like a bunch of the queen casa wants to see if germany was for me. the last few years have been quite a ride in burly, in touch with averted on the home when it comes to jem a bit. and of course i always look in the eyes birch is, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine, i'm no longer approved. i love to be in the news, bear a person americans, but when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize that culture just another way of living. are you ready to meet the driver and then join me right to do it on b. w. welcome to the dark side. where intelligence agencies are pulling the strings. there was a before 911 and an after 911. he says, after 911, the clubs came off where organized crime rules,

genuine use a global network of companies, banks and operators who will provide those services to anyone. operation in the criminal economy, where conglomerates and make their own laws. they invade our private lives through surveillance. hidden, opaque, secretive. i worked through what's big, it doesn't matter. the only criteria is worked. we'll hook people up. we shed light on the opaque worlds. who's behind who benefits and why are they a threat to us all opaque worlds start june 2nd on d w ah

ah. this is dw news live from berlin. russian forces enter the ukrainian city. off of it all done, the authorities fee of the city could follow. murray, you pull in, falling to the russian onslaught after weeks of relentless bombardment. also. com.
