Explore the world from astonishing, even radical, perspectives. Join the Time Warp team, Jeff Lieberman and Matt Kearney, as they reveal events that happen much too quickly or too slowly to be perceived by our senses. With extremely sensitive, slow motion cameras, Jeff and Matt examine an almost completely unexplored world where time once hid myriad secrets of science and physics.

[edit] Pilot

The Time Warp team looks for the right resonant frequency to shatter a wine glass, takes a super slow motion peek at pugilism and exposes the astonshing cleverness of dogs' tongues.

[edit] Stone Breaking

Kun Tao masters invoke chi to break stone with their bare hands, Diet Coke and Mentos geysers and Frisbee dogs.

[edit] Will It Blend?

Juggling balls to chainsaws, blending things with reckless abandon and breaking a beer bottle bare-handed

[edit] Dry Ice Bomb

What happens when you throw water on a grease fire (BUT SHOULDN'T), the explosive power of dry ice, the wonders of soap bubbles and the tablecloth pull trick.

[edit] Fuel Girls

The Fuel Girls' fiery breath, skateboard champion Greg Lutzka's killer kick flips, and Russ Byars' world record winning stone-skipping technique.

[edit] Taser

Cattle prods for humans, how a pole vaulter defies gravity for a record-making jump, and a jack hammer pounds the pavement...and body.

[edit] Human Crash Test Dummy

Human Crash Test Dummy, Rusty Haight, helps the state police by intentionally crashing his car for science. Also, archers take aim William Tell style.

[edit] Samurai Sword Master

Behind a samurai swordsman's lethal blow, a pool pro's award-winning moves, the inner workings of a hummingbird and fun with tempered glass.

[edit] Free Runner

The art and the science behind a gravity-defying free runner, the strange solid liquid non-Newtonian fluid, and the beauty of water droplets.

[edit] Liquid Nitrogen

The freezing power of liquid nitrogen, stopping bullets with "Dragon Skin", and fireworks illuminated.

[edit] Bullwhip

The sonic boom of a bull whip, no two wet dogs shake exactly alike, and a Boston Bruin's star puts two hockey sticks to the test.

[edit] Paintball

Storm-blown glass, a mess with paintballs, serve up a flaming cocktail with some trick bartenders, and spring into action with the Yo Yo Pros.

[edit] Breakdancing

The destructive force of power tools, the seemingly physics-bending motions of break-dancing, and why a bullet fired underwater goes askew

[edit] Trial Bikes

The stunts of two urban bike riders, the precision of an ice skater, and a cardthrower with a lethal 90-mph toss.

[edit] Cheerleading

Olympian skeet shooter, the airborne acrobatics of Boston College cheerleaders, and how a baseball can break baseball bats.

[edit] Sharpshooter

An Old West Champion Sharpshooter, cooking with the Feasty Boys, looking at things with a Schlieren camera, and a 3-bladed boomerang.

[edit] Barefooter

A world-class "barefooter" twists and turns across the water without skis, razor-sharp cutting with a Samurai martial arts expert, a drummer with a world speed record, and Jeff's electrifying new art.

[edit] Stuntmen

What really happens in a movie fight scene, the secret behind bowling a strike, and the noisemakers behind a cicada and a rattlesnake.

[edit] Body Modification

Lancings, piercings, impalements and more, the energy flow of a Wushu master, quick-stepping tap dancers, and what happens to a firecracker in a wine glass.

[edit] Traps

The excruciating, unbelievable antics of trying traps of all sizes (from mouse to bear) on one's own body, and big screen special effects the Time Warp way.
