    In this episode of Mind Blow on Vsauce2: the ruins of Ancient Rome reveal interesting medical devices, a new humanoid robot learns to be just like you, scientists develop a neural brain implant that works like an octopus, Team Trees might have accidentally grown 20 million computers with wood transistors, Stone Age architectural plans reveal sophisticated abstract cognitive abilities, olfactory virtual reality now includes scents and smells, the Titanic gets 3D mapped with over 700,000 images, which may reveal clues about how the Titanic sank, and the glassy-winged sharpshooter contributes to our biological understanding of fluid dynamics with its built-in butt catapult.

    The Titanic (owned by JP Morgan) had a twin ship the Olympic which had structural damage in the same place the iceberg hit, the day before departure JP Morgan had all of his prized possessions removed and was not onboard as planned, those who opposed the Federal Reserve Act were definitely on board. Less than half life rafts remained, emergency red flares were replaced with white fireworks, and many professional seafarers who analyzed the captain’s maneuver to avoid hitting the iceberg say he did the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to do to avoid hitting something.
