Clip: Episode 5 | 2m 46sVideo has Closed Captions
An experiment with magnets demonstrates how energy allows atoms to be created.
The volunteers are given magnets and an energy source to see how complex molecules can form almost at random with just a bit of energy. We learn that the building blocks of life can appear seemingly out of nowhere if the correct conditions are present.
