A cardiologist set out to measure the effects of music on the human body, but the strongest finding wasn't in the music itself. It was the silence he'd inserted between the songs as filler.

Accidents like that keep repeating. Time and again, researchers design experiments around sound, and the empty, silent gaps end up doing more than anything they set out to study. This video follows that pattern across four of those studies, and we explore the fascinating effects silence has on the heart and on your neurons. We also explore the room engineered to be the quietest place on Earth and what a composer heard when he stepped inside.
