All foreign encyclopedias speak of him as an outstanding American physicist. A memorial plaque adorns the wall of the prestigious George Washington University in the US capital; astronauts have named a large crater on the Moon after him. But the physicist George Gammow was the Russian Georgy Antonovich Gamow. Before perestroika, his name was banned in Russia. Only in 1990, Gamow was posthumously returned the title of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which he received in 1928, becoming the youngest chosen one in the history of Russian science.

A humorous sketch from the life of scientists.

While a remote California town embraces its identity as the Bigfoot capital of the world, a deep dive into the elusive creature reveals a mix of compelling eyewitness accounts, potentially groundbreaking DNA evidence, and the undeniable human desire to believe in the untamed mystery that still lurks in the wild. As scientists, locals, and enthusiasts debate the authenticity of footprints, photos, and personal encounters, the legendary cryptid continues to defy capture, forcing us to question whether it's an undiscovered primate, a spirit of the forest, or a collective myth that simply refuses to die.

A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.

Based on Dr. Ronald Mallet's memoir "Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality," this adaptation follows Mallett’s discovery of Einstein’s work on space-time, his study of Godel’s work on a solution of Einstein’s equation that might allow for time travel, and his own research in theoretical physics spanning thirty years that culminated in his recent discovery of the effects of circulating laser light and its application to time travel.

Physicist Manabu Yukawa returns to Japan from America. Detective Kaoru Utsumi visits him and talks about a case. The case is about a popular girl in a town who disappeared and, several years later, her body was found. A suspect was arrested for her murder. That suspect was previously arrested for another girl's murder, but he was released due to a lack of evidence. Detective Shunpei Kusanagi investigated the prior murder case. The same suspect was then released due to a lack of evidence for the most recent murder case. The released man returned to his town, where everybody hated him. On the day of the autumn festival parade, the man was killed. Physicist Manabu Yukawa, Detective Kaoru Utsumi and Detective Shunpei Kusanagi work together on his case.
