18 different countries, 12 different sports

and more than 400 competitors -

this is the Invictus Games.

But these determined athletes

share more than just a love of sport.

They've all served in the armed forces.

So how did this pretty unique sporting event come about?

It was actually created by someone you might've heard of -

Prince Harry.

Yeah!

You see, this prince was actually a soldier.

He served in the army for ten years, including time in Afghanistan.

Since then, he's been a passionate advocate

for his fellow servicemen and women,

many of whom return home from doing really difficult jobs

with injuries and illnesses.

So, Harry decided to create something that would bring together

wounded service-people from around the world,

to help them recover and set new goals.

He called it the Invictus Games

because 'invictus' is the Latin word for 'unconquered' or 'undefeated',

which symbolises the competitors' strength through tough times.

The first Invictus Games kicked off in London in 2014.

Then America hosted, which is why this epic video happened.

Hey, Prince Harry,

remember when you told us to bring it at the Invictus Games?

Careful what you wish for.

Boom.

Oh, really?

Please.

Boom.

Then Canada had a go

and now it's time for Australia to step up.

These are the countries competing here this year.

And these are the sporting events.

And just like the Olympic Games,

Invictus winners get one of these shiny things.

Now meet our Aussie Invictus team.

The 72 members have some pretty incredible stories.

This is where I train. This is my happy place.

Brigid Baker is a former army intelligence officer.

She has post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD,

which is a mental health issue that often affects people

who have been through seriously scary or difficult things.

She's now competing in athletics and powerlifting.

It's given me goals, something to work towards,

but it's also put me in contact with a fantastic group of people.

And there's Stewart Sherman, who was an army combat medic.

He also suffers from PTSD and leg injuries.

Although he doesn't need a wheelchair,

he's now found a passion for wheelchair tennis

and also archery.

And he's excited to show his kids some moves.

These games this year are going to be the biggest.

Sarah and Callum will be coming,

so it'll be good to be able to show them

what it was all for

and that I can actually hit a tennis ball over the net.

So, watch this space to see which of these incredible people

end up on the podium,

although it's clear this sporting event is about so much more.

What If SCP 990 Was Real? - Duration: 5:39.

Hello internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's

Biggest Question - the channel where we happily serve the marketing division of the SCP Foundation

for no other reason than the invaluable dissemination of vitality important information.

What's going on guys - as per usual I'll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch

- as we wake up in our quarters with a pretty groggy head, realise we've been asleep for

far too long - and then wonder who the hell that weird guy in our dream was - and cautiously

ask the question, What If SCP-990 Was Real?

Roll the clip.

Before we jump into that though you know the drill by now guys.

If you're a fan of this video, strange men in suits, or just LBQ in general - then be

a dear and hit that thumbs up button, as well as that subscribe bell so you can stay up

to date with our latest and greatest SCP based uploads.

Also - why don't you go ahead and share this video with a friend, so you can cross-reference

your own dreams and make sure there's no funny business going on.

You'll see what I mean in a moment.

Here's an interesting question - a morsel of food for thought before we once again dive

back into the Foundation's archive records.

I'm sure the thought has crossed your mind before, but imagine this - what would happen

if the whole planet - within 24 hours - fell asleep and had the exact same dream.

Every single person.

There's a little over 7.4 billion people on Planet Earth - all of which understand

the strange importance of dreams, and are affected by them in some various shape or

form.

Imagine heading to work or school after a disturbed nights sleep - you tell your friend

and coworker about the oddly specific dream that you had last night, it had you pretty

shook.

They pause, silent.

They had the exact same dream.

So did your other friend, your teacher - your boss - the lady at the corner shop, every

single person that you speak to that day knows what you're talking about.

They saw it too, in their own sleep.

It's on the news - the anchor personally describes the same dream that you, and the

rest of the planet saw the last time you closed your eyes to sleep.

No one really knows what to do.

Government officials try to reassure the population that they have a protocol in place - but in

reality, they're just as perplexed as everyone else.

They saw it too.

What would we do?

How would we react?

Well, let me introduce you to SCP-990, and maybe this whole thing will make a hell of

a lot more sense.

SCP 990 is a Keter class entity, that as of the most recent protocol - has no known special

containment procedure.

Just like our theoretical dream that was posed previously - this skip has got the foundation

pretty shook.

990 generally appears as a human male dressed in a Cold War era business suit, think Mad-Men

- but a little more droll - who presents themself to Foundation personnel through dreams.

As far as we know, there have been no reports of SCP-990 appearing to non-Foundation personnel,

and the dream entity hasn't been encountered by anyone in the physical world.

The entity has been appearing to Foundation staff for at least 40 years - and just like

with our initial theoretical proposal - it's existence came to light after several Foundation

agents began discussing dreams involving a similar individual.

Numerous other agents reported dream-sightings that matched the entities description - and

whose classification was proceeded by the events of 990-07.

This is where things get interesting, because during the events of 990-07 - an unspecified

agent succumbed to the prophetic dream - describing the same man in the same suit, thoroughly

detailing a series of events that would lead to several tactical nuclear missiles being

launched into mid-Europe and eastern Asia, ultimately resulting in the extermination

of nearly 98% of the human race and the ultimate collapse of human society.

All of this had been outlined by SCP-990 while he was trapped inside the agents dream.

Now do you see what we're getting at?

Fortunately, as the Foundation record states, a Mobile Task Force was dispatched to eliminate

the initial threat that was alleged to begin the chain of events that the agent had described,

and the mission was a success.

The crisis was averted.

So let's slip back into our theoretical shared global dream - and say that every human

on the planet was warned about a specific event that would lead to the destruction of

the planet and the extinction of the human race.

Let's say it took - I don't know - three hours, for everyone to fully realise and understand

what was going on.

It's safe to say that no one would be going to work or school that day.

The world would grind to a standstill, trying to figure out and understand what the hell

to do with this new found prophetic information.

Life as we know it is going to end unless we stop these specific set of events, and

the clock is ticking.

The Emergency committee of the United Nations would convene, scrambling to come up with

a solution to avert this crisis.

Regardless of the Foundation's fictional involvement, the powers that be wouldn't

take an event like this lightly.

If every global world leader had the exact same prophetic dream that heralded the end

of the world, then - just like in the Foundation's report - the crisis would be averted.

SAS, Mossad, US Navy Seals, Spetsnaz.

Resources are plentiful, and with a small level of coordination, we'd save the world.

Job done, everyone can sleep soundly.

Or could we?

Because if the entire population realised that the saviour of the world was a *dream*

- then we'd be hooked.

Currently, we know next to nothing about the science of sleep and the unconscious brain

- but if SCP-990 Was Real - we'd be hooked on delving into the strange final frontier

- the human brain.

Well - that's how we see it guys - what do you reckon?

Let us know your thoughts in the comment box down below.

If you were a fan of this video, the SCP Foundation - or just LBQ in general, hit that thumbs

up and subscribe bell so you can stay up to date with our latest and greatest uploads.

Cheers for sticking around all the way to the end.

As always, I've been your host Jack Finch - you've been watching Life's Biggest

Questions - and until next time, you take it easy.

What Is Massurrealism? - Duration: 6:23.

What is massurrealism?

It is the form of art rooted in the combination of mass media related art,

and surrealist imagery.

So, What does that mean?

Massurrealism is a direction in the arts whose style is based

on the dreamlike, subconscious imagery that  is being

highly influenced by the cutting edge technology and mass media of the present times.

That is to say, massurrealism merges the Human realities

of the modern Information Era with the deeply personal and evocative inner worlds of surrealism.

To fully appreciate that variety of influences and inspiration,

let's take a quick look at a few important moments that happened in art history.

At the end of the 19th century, some artists, such as those from the impressionists era

decided to do their work differently.

Instead of simply painting something to appear as it actually looked,

they began to express not only what they saw with their eyes but the realities they experienced.

Their works were vague and unclear, using for example, small, thin, yet visible brush strokes of color

that are very much like natural landscapes, but were intentionally painted to not be an exact replica.

Shortly after after this point in history, artists began to think less about the outside world,

and instead to express their inner world.

Artists such as the Cubists began to separate almost all links to reality

a "real world" served less as subject, and more as basic inspiration.

At the beginning of the 20th century comes Dadaism.

Dadaism went away from not only the physical way art is done,

but also further away from the style,

all the borders in the way of which art is thought about

and how art is made now no longer seemed to exist.

For the Dadaists, art was a way to challenge, and in many cases

purposely offend, the art establishment.

Manufactured objects became "art."

At that point art went from just exactly duplicating a subject,

to direct connection with the inner world of the viewer.

Dadaism led then to surrealism.

With seemingly no borders left to challenge, surrealists created expansive,

arbitrary art works filled with desolate landscapes, magnificent monsters and nonsensical objects.

Art was now almost entirely inside the inner world of the artist.

These strange images forced viewers to interpret art on their own terms

when confronted by the surreal and nonsensical,

each viewer will have their own unique interpretation.

After surrealism, abstract impressionism pushed art beyond representation into producing minimal art

an entire block of a single colour

could be sold to a collection for millions.

Art began to mean that any visual creation could be boiled down to just the "doing of art".

A massive canvas painted entirely blue,

or improvised primitive techniques with modern objects

sometimes even stepping on a painting.

Whatever it took to express oneself through the physical act of painting.

Every link between the outer world and the inner world was separated,

more now than ever.

With art at a crossroads, pop-art brought representation back.

Manufactured objects like the soup can were among many subjects and themes the pop artists used,

and at the same time, digital technology was starting to advance in leaps and bounds.

And with that, the final piece of the puzzle for massurrealism was in place.

So, in 1992

enter massurrealism to express this Information-Age art.

The term grew from a need to understand

the complex roots of the techniques

of artists at the end of the 20th century were creating.

In essence, every drama and advance and revolution and technique in the history of human art

was now up for grabs.

The inner world and the outer world could coexist,

expressed with everyday objects,

using the influences of the latest digital technology,

and traditional art techniques.

Artists today use many methods such as paint,

collage, photography, photo software, video software,

and even the communication methods of the World Wide Web.

Today you can see it everywhere in the journey of your life.

You see it in advertisements, movies, TV shows, and the internet.

But at its heart,

massurrealism is also about the real World of today.

We are all connected electronically

and can quickly send instant photos and videos,

all in real time.

Massurrealism as an art form

shows us that humans control the art,

and that art is still being made by a human artist

with a human message.

It is using these methods that

give the artist control over the creative work,

and not the other way around.
