Just prior to the end of World War II, the German military secretly undertook a massive push to design miracle weapons - colossal tanks, the world's first guided missiles, and high-speed jets that could attack New York. Now, nearly 60 years later, a team of experts examines the original blueprints to determine if these so-called "Wunderwaffen," or "wonder weapons," could have changed the outcome of the war. One of Adolf Hitler's most top secret bombs: The Fritz X grandfather of the modern smart bomb. Prototype testing revealed that the success rate with this radio-guided bomb was over 80 times higher than with conventional free-falling bombs of the time. In every documented case the destructive power of the Fritz X proved so strong that it would completely rip through any battleship it hit. It would never explode while still inside the ship, but on exiting or in the water.

Es el nacimiento de la astronomía de neutrinos. Por primera vez, los astrofísicos han podido probar neutrinos fuera de la galaxia: "Ernie & Bert" han aterrizado en el hielo del Polo Sur. Los científicos han descubierto sus huellas con un detector gigantesco. Los neutrinos son las partículas elementales más comunes y las más misteriosas. Debido a que estas partículas son invisibles para nosotros, casi no tienen masa, no están cargadas y rara vez interactúan con otra materia. Pero para los científicos, cada uno de los pequeños neutrinos es un mensajero potencial que lleva información directa sobre su lugar de origen en el espacio.
