简介： 美国气候学家杰克（丹尼斯•奎德 Dennis Quaid 饰）认为，温室效应正在引发地球的大灾难，北极冰川的融化，会让地球回到冰河世纪那样的劫难。他的提醒并没有引起美国当局的重视，一切都已经太晚：飓风、冰雹、洪水、冰山融化、极度严寒，一系列的地球巨变引发了一场不可挽救的灾难。美国政府组织北纬30度的民众转移到赤道周围，场面一片混乱。更糟糕的是，杰克的儿子，正困在曼哈顿的图书馆里，靠烧书生火来维持体温。大家怎样才能逃过这场灭顶的灾祸？冰天雪地的地球何时才能回暖？

简介： NOVA: Mysteries of Sleep Like virtually every other animal, humans need sleep to survive. But why? What do we gain from spending nearly a third of our lives in such a defenseless state? And what's at stake if we sleep poorly? The functions of sleep have long been something of a mystery. But now scientists are peering deep into the brain to see what happens while we snooze. One study reveals that well-timed bursts of pink noise can nudge a person's brain waves, extending periods of slow-wave, or deep, sleep. And toddlers learning new words show that taking even a short nap after learning something new can help the information stick. And when it comes to sleeping poorly, it may turn out that having interrupted sleep can be just as harmful as missing sleep altogether. As scientists come to understand the powerful role that sleep -- or lack of it -- plays in everything from memory to trauma to emotion regulation, one thing is clear: This biological function is as crucial as it is complex.
