So here we have another amazing old science video. This time it's about the wonders of light. I really liked the title. Anyway, this video is from 1940 and it covers the basics of physics of light and its applications. By the way I really like the opening, it sounds more like an opening of an old classic movie than a science documentary.
This disturbing film records the successful experiments in the resuscitation of life to dead animals (dogs), as conducted by Dr. S.S. Bryukhonenko at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy, Voronezh, U.S.S.R
This video was filmed in 1940 and it has that bizzare (it reminds me of those Lost orientation videos from Dharma stations) yet relatively good quality. The video itself is really shocking, as it shows the heart and the lungs of a dog, outside the body, connected to tubes, which support the blod flow. And the best part is when a real dog head without a body is connected to tubes and the head is actually alive - it reacts to touch, smells and even light.
Another amazing part is when the doctors stop the heart of the dog and the resurrect it.Yeah it's like the experiments of a real life doctor Frankenstein...
