Scope

Our hosts delve into the recent advancements in technology that have enabled the FBI to create a genetic database in the ongoing fight against sexual predators, doctors to create unprecedented health options to give those suffering from physical disabilities to lead fully functional and self-dependent lives, and even allocating, retrieving and restoring shipwrecked artifacts formerly believed to be lost.

The hosts dedicate this week's episode to such unprecedented technological progress as astrophysicists using models to recreate and make sense of the matter and complexities of the vast universe, a 100-year-old doctor who has the strength and resilience to work a demanding full-time job with a smile on his face, and an American toddler with an incurable illness (which will most definitely conclude with a premature and untimely death) whose parents take him to an Australian laboratory for what appears to be his only hope at a healthy life (let alone survival).

The hosts interview various experts on such exciting topics as the possibility of time travel in a practical sense and what requisites are necessary for it to occur, skunks and their fascinating family and group dynamics, and the science behind nuclear waste and the methods used to safely rid the Earth's surface and population from conceivable leaks and subsequent damage from the highly dangerous materials.

Scope's hosts delve into such captivating topics as Jane Goodall and her historic relationships with wild chimpanzees, as well as her longtime adventure photographer whose daring shoots have been seen in innumerable publications around the world. Their combined efforts have had historic results, successfully informing the public on the realities of the remote fauna life in some of the most primal animal environments on Earth.

Scope's hosts detail such awe-inspiring stories as a multi-decade project from a perpetually rotating team of sculptors to replicate a lost Da Vinci masterpiece, a material used for canoes that could conceivably be used as a cheaper and more effective alternative to common and finite resources, and an amateur pilot whose homemade airplane successfully traveled intercontinentally.

The hosts of Scope uncover the fascinating truth behind a secret Virginian fall out shelter built under President Eisenhower's watch to house our government's most significant in case of a theoretical nuclear attack on the nation's capital, the editor of an influential computer/internet/data corporation whose proven success has earned her the ear of Bill Gates and even the US government, and even a cancer survivor whose experimental drug and healing treatments were revolutionary and successful against all odds.

The hosts hear from experts and firsthand witnesses on the such unique topics as weight loss, surgery, chiropractors, and the health industry as a whole, thanks to expert testimony from a niche health industry professional, the connection between diabetes and blindness and obesity, and most impressively a stunning personal computer for automobiles that functions through response to a commander's voice, and a revolutionary space rocket that could conceivably change the field and future of space travel.

The hosts of Scope use the latest installment to research and discuss the research and preservation of feral wolf populations in their natural woodland habitats and subsequently how those researching them can help shape their image and treatment by the greater public, the scientific breakthroughs in the medical world of genetic and cellular engineering and treatment, and even the inspiring young boy with a tragic allergy to sunlight who uses a NASA-grade spacesuit to protect him from ultralight rays.

The hosts research the world-infamous mystery surrounding the original alleged Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident and interview relevant parties ranging from the director of a conspiracy museum to the original radio dispatcher on the day. They go on to detail subsequent allegations of alien appearances and abductions including testimony and recorded examples of a professional hypnotist who believes the conspiracy surrounding the presence of aliens, and even detail the government's potential role in a coverup: one of many conspiracies UFO enthusiasts collectively maintain.

The hosts research such amazing topics as "miracle" illness cures that, through simple enough dated technology from yesteryear, can alleviate virtually any ailment or physical shortcoming (all found in one man's novelty museum/shop). They proceed to enlighten on equally impressive topics, including NASA's research into hurricane weather patterns through studying plankton under the sea, and even an elderly woman who is woman of many who suffer from an invasive urinary malfunction that results in a weak and unpredictable bladder for adults and the treatment that has helped them.

Scope's hosts take us on a journey of discovery by means of sharing the little heard stories of scientists attempting to break scientific and legal ground by patenting genetic cells, glassblowers using an age old art form to assist in spheres ranging from science to engineering to art, the research behind dinosaurs' skeletons and their contributions to our understanding of Pangaea, and finally an unexpected miracle that has doctors scratching their heads after a perceived terminal illness leaves a woman inexplicably and with no remission.

The hosts of Scope detail the nature of human babies, from conception, to birth, through their first transition through adolescence. The relationship between mothers and their offspring is a bond unparalleled by any other. See the many elements of such a delicate balance like never before. Includes expansive real-life demonstrations of parents and babies going through the various sequential stages of pregnancy, to birth, to infancy, and beyond.

The hosts get to the bottom of how animal hospitals and the brave surgeons who occupy them save thousands of lives every year (as well as the technology that enables them to do so), the effects of alcohol on young adults and the physical/mental dangers it poses, and even the contemporary toy industry, which proves to have evidently advanced at an amplified rate with the advent of computerized games and other digital options.

Scope's hosts tackle challenging and lesser known spheres within the natural world such as the science behind our immune system's functionality, the explanation for salmonella's devastating effects, drug and treatment options for cancer, the biological science behind the loss of muscular strength, and even an artificial heart supplement that is injected into one's chest and does "80% of the work," and finally a revolutionary solar car that can go 60mph on a sunny day and cruise for roughly 200 miles on a cloudy one.

The hosts of Scope know quite a bit about the more obscure fields of work and study than your average television hosts. Their research into the obscure worlds of alternative spheres leads them to studying a psychology professor who can catch liars by their facial expressions, a truck simulator that effectively mimics the conditions of driving long distances, a wire rat who doubles as a class pet, and even how art historians and medical experts alike are using modern technology to learn about illnesses of the past.

The trusty hosts of Scope dedicate this episode to the various and variant major religions found throughout the modern world. They get down and dirty with the details of every discrepancy and similarity between them, going so far as to divulge the backgrounds of dissident religions such as two sects of Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism), Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. Their revelations contextualize the many belief systems' comparabilities and help connect the age-old question of where science fits into theology to millions of believers.

The hosts of Scope discuss a range of unusual topic you may have missed on your local news. They go in depth on such atypical sights you might not otherwise see as a robot zoo with animatronic animals twice -- sometimes even ten times -- their normal size, an interactive children's playground whose components are entirely science- and discovery-based, a teenage surgeon who has successfully performed veterinary surgery on countless animals, and even the moral question surrounding the ethics of predetermining an offspring's sex.

See life's most interesting and unusual treasures as you never have before. Join the hosts of Scope for intimate views of SeaWorld's arsenal of seven adult killer whales and their biological use of frequency for communication, the advent of computers' and modern technology's effects on cerebral research and treatment, and even an unprecedentedly powerful telescope capable of even replacing the already world class Hubble Telescope.

Scope's hosts do it yet again with their in-depth analysis of such contemporary wonders as a mobile GPS system capable of revolutionizing the way journalism is captured, where it gravitates, and how it is broadcast. They go on to touch on gene patenting and genetic identification (and the privacy and protection of that information), and finally perceivably incurable impairments finally finding successful treatments due to the perpetually improving medical field.
