Stand back, we're about to attempt Science!

A journalist basically got a group of science-y folks and asked them questions. Recommend checking out the rest of the channel.^_^

I think my favourite bit of the video is that the guy talking is called Philip Moriarty. EPIC!

Fantastic. Plus, who doesn't love an intro featuring the Fibonacci Sequence?
(Well, I do.)

The whole thing is about how everything comes back to the Fibonacci Sequence. It's an amazing way to show how everything is interconnected, and visual learning has always been pretty powerful for me. Thanks!

Becomes more inventive after a minute or so too. ^_^

I watched it with the sound off, since I"m in the campus lab, but it reminds me of Sayuki, what with the dark dots scattering and reforming. And the costume was sort of reminicient too... But it looked fun. Some of the coreography matched better than some other parts, but on the whole well done. Was that projected on the screen, or added afterwards with computer?

The vid itself is perfectly fine, but note that some of the other content on the site can wander off towards family-unfriendly topics.
