Love is spontaneous, illogical, and immaterial. Modern science, studying the nature of this phenomenon, has discovered fantastic changes in the brains of people in love - love suppresses the feeling of fear, negative emotions, and criticism. Why does a person in love have an increased pulse and breathing rate? Biologists' research indicates that love is like drug intoxication. Chemists claim that we feel love due to the release of certain hormones into the blood. However, both admit that Love cannot be explained only by science.

MovieDocumentary
Everyone who is born must die, this is the law. And each of us has had an overwhelming experience of understanding, "I'm also going to die." What will happen when I am gone, each of us sooner or later asks himself this question. Russian scientists have recorded an energy of unknown origin that is released after the death of a person, which gave them reason to assume that bodily death is not the end, but rather a transition from one state to another. But what will that state be? What awaits us on the other side? Oblivion? Another life? Or something else? If this became known for certain, how would this knowledge affect our lives? Would our deeds, attitude towards people, actions change?
