CSI: NY is about forensic investigators, who use scientific techniques to crack tough cases

THIS crime series, since its debut in 2004, has spawned several comics and novels based on investigation of crime in New York. CSI: NY on Mondays at 11 P.M. on AXN brings alive the throbbing cop-and-robber ties that seem to get strained every time a new crime is committed. The crime drama inspired by the CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) is about forensic investigators, who use high-tech science to follow the evidence and crack tough cases. Detective Mac Taylor, a dedicated crime-scene investigator, is a decorated marine who had served in the Desert Storm. This job is his life and he has the reputation of not leaving a case until is solved. His partner, Stella Bonasera, too, shares his passion for the job. They lead a team of experts through the gritty and kinetic city that never sleeps. One of the most popular series, CSI: NY has a passionate fan following even on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Things appear the way we look at them and not the way they should be perceived. Time Warp every Monday at 9 P.M. on the Discovery Channel explains phenomenon, which the naked eye cannot see. MIT scientist and teacher Jeff Lieberman, along with digital-imaging expert Matt Kearney, show it, as it should be. They record everyday things and then slow down the footage to see what is really going on. So you can see how a dog uses its tongue to drink water; how a face contorts when punched; what happens when an egg falls into the blades of a blender or how playing balls get juggled in the air. What you see is the detailing of an event, which the normal eye can never catch. This highly creative programme uses the latest in high-speed photography, to turn natural events (a cat licking its paw, a champagne bottle being opened) into a thing of both beauty and learning. — NF
