| 0:19.6 | Today we're gonna learn about a possible scientific fountain of youth, how cooperation among |
| 0:24.6 | strangers has, contrary to popular belief, actually increased in recent years, and how the |
| 0:29.7 | pandemic has caused the perception of time distortion. |
| 0:33.0 | Without further to do, let's satisfy some curiosity. |
| 0:36.0 | Okay, if you had to guess a scientific method to reverse the aging process, |
| 0:40.0 | what would you choose? |
| 0:41.0 | Mmm, a scientific fountain of youth? |
| 0:44.0 | I'm not sure what I'd guess, maybe an injection of some kind? |
| 0:48.0 | Yeah, you'd think, right? |
| 0:50.0 | But it's not quite. |
