What if everyone on the planet coordinated to perform the biggest “flush mob” in history? Pushing all the wastewater in the world down the drain, all at once?

About What If:
An Underknown original web series, presented by Hashem al Ghaili

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

"What If" takes you on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
