Clip: Episode 5 | 2m 32sVideo has Closed Captions
Humans are made of tiny machines, which must all work together to thrive.
The volunteers start Stephen Hawking’s Machine of Life. The machine works by transferring an impulse from one place to another, sustained by the input of energy. Each moving part follows the laws of physics and together they keep the impulse moving.
