Why it works
The opening study mystery delays the surprising habit until 0:33, then asks a mechanism question at 1:03. Forty illustrated scenes and 44 internal graphic steps move from a person to body, tissue and cell diagrams; the most replayed span at 1:24–1:27 sits on the vivid heat-response setup. The conclusion spends 3:47–4:40 on confounders, scope and individual risks, making the earlier result credible.
