Superquark
Season 25 Episode 4 - A world without vaccines, underwater volcanoes, and cryptocurrency on the internet
The world without vaccines: a journey through past and present to discover the fate we have escaped. Barbara Gallavotti and Rossella Li Vigni interviewed one of Europe's 30 most influential scientists under 30 at the University of Zurich, and with him, they calculated the number of people who have lost their lives to vaccine-preventable diseases. It's impressive, as is the number of people vaccines have saved: approximately 20 million lives and a saving of €350 billion in healthcare costs in the last 20 years alone. "Superquark" also ran a report on the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea off the Aeolian Islands. What lies beneath its surface? Today, special sonar can virtually remove water, and the hidden face of the Tyrrhenian Sea has held many surprises, such as the discovery of seven new underwater volcanoes. Piero Angela and Paco Lanciano will follow in the studio to delve deeper with an experiment. Finally, technology will be on the agenda.
