Imagine... You have been an anti-hero, always up to mischief and interfering with the activity of the League of Superheroes. You never did any real harm to simple people. Suddenly, the League lost its authenticity and moved underground. You are upset. Not long ago, Hammer Man was going about his business and, in the process, he put the lives of 10 children at risk. It could have finished badly if not for you. You arrived just in time with some of your anti-hero tools. The leader of the League thanked you and proposed that you join the League of Superheroes. You did not answer; disappearing in a puff of smoke. Your faith in the League has been shaken up a bit. Now you start to think seriously about his proposition. What if your mission is not to harm but to help? What will you do?

Imagine... You cannot bear lies and hypocrisy, and you do not consort with such people, even in times of need. Recently you found out that the employee sitting next to you says terrible things behind your back. Moreover, the things he has been saying could damage your reputation. He is an excellent worker, and it will not be easy to find someone to replace him. No matter – you cannot wait to be rid of him. What will you do?

Imagine... You are a freelance writer. A client has ordered a dissertation on a subject related to your sphere of scientific interests. On the one hand, you would do better to write a dissertation for yourself though you have yet to find the right topic. This paper will pay a decent price. If you can’t finish it, at least you will obtain valuable experience. Finishing it will mean that you have chosen a client’s needs above your own. You hesitate. What will you do?

Imagine... You face a problem – which high school to choose. You are equally adept at mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, native language; the door is wide open. The problem is that you do not know what you want. The clock is ticking. During the previous three years, you were studying biology and chemistry because it seemed to you that it would be a good thing to be a doctor. Now you’re not sure that you want to devote the next 10 years – the best years– to study. You have begun researching backup plans, and chosen dentistry; a 4-year program. But the pursuit of a medical degree is still in your mind. What will you do?

Imagine... You would like to enter the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Australia. This is one of the biggest and most prestigious theater schools in the world, and it takes not more than 20-25 students a year. One hundred people apply for one place. You have been preparing for this since high school – practicing the language, studying culture, and basic acting skills. Of course, you are not sure you will get in, and therefore you have prepared some backup options in your own country in case you fail. You’ve just been informed that the entrance tests for the Australian school and the local school are to be held on the same day. You must make a choice: take a risk and try to enter the theater school in Australia or miss the chance for this year. What will you do?

Imagine... You have been working very hard in order to invent the time machine. Finally, you have a working model that can easily bring a hamster from the past to the present and back again. Now it’s time for an experiment with a man. You are afraid to do it yourself. However, you do not want too many people to know about your invention; their actions could distort the time/space continuum. What will you do?

Imagine... You have already passed two tests of the religious examination and are ready to be elected the high priest. For any family to have such a child is a great honor. Now you face the third and final examination. You are sure you will pass it with no trouble; you are unsure about the idea of becoming a high priest. To refuse the examination would bring shame and disgrace to your family and personal dishonor to you. You are prepared to be the spiritual leader of your people, yet you are unsure that you want to live the life of an ascetic with no wife and family of your own. You are in love with a girl. You are not ready to sacrifice your love or your future relationships. On the other hand, you do not want your parents to be upset. What will you do?

Our brains allow us to process the world, understand everything around us, learn new things, and paradoxically, we're still very unaware of how much of our own brains function. However, modern neuroscience and cognitive sciences have made great strides in understanding the effect our brains have on our everyday functions. With that, comes a wealth of knowledge and a variety of facts that you probably don't know about the brain. But don’t worry, our video will fix it. Enjoy…

We tend to think of sleep as a time when the mind and body shut down. But this is not the case. Sleep is an active period in which a lot of important processing, restoration, and strengthening occurs. Exactly how this happens and why our bodies are programmed for such a long period of slumber is still somewhat of a mystery. But scientists do understand some of sleep’s critical functions, and the reasons we need it for optimal health and well being. 

In this video, you will find a list of the most interesting and surprising facts about sleep that you may not know.
