The Path of Least Time in Light and AntsA universal law of efficiency links physics and biology.
From the show
Nature's Hidden BlueprintDiscover a surprising principle of optimization that governs the universe, from the way light bends to how ant colonies forage. This isn't about the shortest path, but the fastest one. Both fundamental physics and complex living systems independently arrived at the same elegant solution for efficient travel. It suggests a deeper, underlying rule for how things move and organize, whether they're waves of energy or a collective of insects.
