in the world by ultra light. this tiny aircraft weighs less than five hundred killers a speeds of up to one hundred seventy kilometers per hour it can fly at three thousand meters where from such altitudes you can examine the bottom of the lake because of the clear waters and his four cameras fixed to be afraid. it's not just a scientific endeavor but a personal one. what winds of fate brought the young scientists to the bike eldridge and it all began with a minor research trip. here quite by chance i came up with the idea of experiments. in the world's oceans there are a lot of organisms that exposed to the light of a certain spectrum range emit light of a different range and i wondered if this was also the case with the lake.
8:33 am
in short discovered luminescent crustaceans in by coles waters. serious research by kal only began in the seventeenth century before that legends travelled around europe that siberia was home to people with the heads of dogs the first expedition destroyed all those myths. habited by. peoples. populated with. white fish and a breed of seal with a photographic memory. it swims close to the shore examines the area. but if. changed even a little. getting close to the.

8:37 am
a strong character and its climate is far from what he was it was used to in switzerland. when we first came to lake by cal the weather was awful but it was raining heavily by cal was harsh. he the first impression i had of by cow which is in fact true to this day was the extreme weather. if it weren't for divine intervention the young scientist wouldn't be able to work at bike for several days heavy downpours prevented even to leave his house his research was on the verge of shutting down he might just as well have packed up and headed home. it was terrible during our first week here was torrential then three llamas came in. for good
8:38 am
weather. it was pouring second day the weather did improve with. periods surround every mound. we call him on. summer. crops there are special rights when we bring the milk over red cow or white goat and some other gifts. in the region buddhism became especially popular in the eighteenth century when monks from mongolia started settling in the area they set up monasteries and temples the biggest of which is the. people come from all over the worlds to this blessid land to meditate to learn or if they really want something to pray to the gods.

all scientists are as sensitive to local beliefs conducting studies and by some of them refused to accept the existence of any supernatural. according to them it contradicts every law of nature. supernatural. in this respect. any. protection. scientific life is connected with. first of all he was born here he joined the local college and thirty years he's been conducting scientific experiments in the area. baikal is a region of high seismic activity with earthquakes
8:41 am
a common occurrence for five years the scientists research has provided exact forecasts of earthquakes around by. two thousand and eight. separate from a powerful earthquake it was just as strong as the one that destroyed the fukushima nuclear power station in japan which was washed away by a huge wave. fortunately here the earthquake couldn't produce such a tsunami because they are too small. in two thousand and eight days before the earthquake. fundamental changes in the election. that we had never observed before any other case. only scientific achievements a neutrino detector has been dropped to a depth of one kilometer into the lake. thanks to. the
8:42 am
devices able to detect many mysteries not just. discoveries of this kind are impossible in salty ocean what up. up do you mean by cold neutrino detector is designed to help us explore the history or universe. and find out solutions to how we begin with new people what is happening to it now is what do you know what will happen to it we believe in the future if the will to do it is only possible if you watch the streams of unique particles cold neutrinos going to be before they can provide us with the information was one of what was there when the universe began.

the new super secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything tunes mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care watch only on the r g dot com. that's all i want to. pick up something that is quite simply a mets. place was no way out. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the us for. the soul that could be buried alive. was

never as a lake existed for as long as. lakes usually last for no more than fifteen thousand years after that they simply dry out and that's been the case for millions of years this lake though was formed long before human history began remarkably the water content has undergone almost no changes atoll. is very deep and the water is clear and saturated with oxygen down to the deepest parts. never changed. a land of science discoveries and the unique nature seemingly frozen in time. the present live side by side with the spirits of the past just like the lake itself locals preserve their own mysteries and traditions. local folklore
8:48 am
legends and rituals with great respect. convinced they are. luly necessary here these rights we were told that date back many more years than many of the scientific research projects all over your clothes yeah i already learned. their. style. are in there and. my colleague stands for six hundred thirty kilometers covering an area the size of some countries like belgium the netherlands. everybody finds a place in the vast area of by kill christians buddhists shamans and old believers of the russian orthodox church they've lived here for more than three hundred years

8:52 am
paid off the weather has improved allowing the scientists to work. on the banks of . the biggest river flowing into by providing around fifty percent of its river water it's a powerful filter that. before it gets into the lake. continue working. how the river bed. changed. developing changing. very important. rich with a constantly circulating from the bottom up that keeps itself clean water can

safely be drunk straight from. here. this unique nature. has new emotional states. but health through its beauty individuality and energy can reconcile science with man's belief in supernatural powers. scientists might look for answers to any question but it doesn't mean that everything will be explained one day. that's a completely different approach towards goals of science differ from those of
8:54 am
folklore. you can't escape these legends like the fisherman who carry out their rituals every time before they leave. god that needs to be placated you should treat him to what a wine or even if you feel like it drink some yourself. oh there's one. where i've never seen anything like this before. there's so many in just one that. are just about fifty or sixty you can tell by the way. local fisherman firmly convinced that bike will give a good catch when people treated with respect.

a popular one we had decided to have a go at it and during that one submersion we had about twelve accidents that we had never had before first the weather was fine and the forecast was good but once we had reached the spot the weather changed and then it turned out that we had somehow lost the directions we had special and once we had reached the bottom. to top it off when we were rising from the bottom. that was to pick us up. and i was damaged so i understood then that up for that we were on the right track to finding the sculpture but my call was resolve to keep it that you were the one. you'll see if he isn't too eager to leave but his wife and two young daughters are waiting for him at home so many things are still to be done and so much about by cal still needs to be unraveled. and yes because those people warned me that once i came to
8:57 am
lake baikal my life would change completely i would fall in love with it and would long to come back. yes i never thought of this place would really affect me so deeply thought of the heriot i spent here has been one of the most interesting and dynamic stages of my life consume the fire and i will certainly look for an opportunity to return to like bike out from movies to those. dramas that can't be ignored to the. stories of others who refuse to notice. faces change the world writes now.
8:58 am
on the old picture of today's leaves my own designs from around the globe. dropped. to fifty. more news today. flared up. and these are the images go world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations to rule the day. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman got killed. years later is when i got arrested. for
