Here you will find a collection of the best scientific documentaries available online. Focus here is on quality above quantity. There is an endless heap of documentaries that are "scientific" but in fact are not, instead filled with metaphysical ideas, UFOs, bio energies and other meta-sciences. You will not find those here. Other thing is the quantity of information in every documentary itself, often being very low but instead full of special effects and dramatic monologue. Hopefully you won't find those here either.

What you will find are informative, revealing, interesting, mind-boggling and above all scientific documentaries about the marvels of the world surrounding us, or the marvels of human ingenuity.

Building Gods

Is it possible to construct an artificial intelligence? If it is, how far away is it? A truly thought-provoking documentary about the advancements in robotics, cybernetics and AI presented by four people, each having a different viewpoint. In the movie itself they are presented as a philosopher, a brain builder, a "cyborg" and a theologian. All of those viewpoints are very interesting but what really surprised me was a theologian's point that Abrahamic religions should not be in conflict with the hypothetical artificial life.
