...it doesn't take me any closer to really understanding quantum physics.

No, it doesn't, but that's not the point of the video. The point is to communicate the beauty and wonder of our universe.

I believe that aesthetics is a carrier wave that can provide a bridge for people to explore something as complex as quantum physics. Think of how people in the latter half of the 20th century were inspired to reach for the stars because of the influence of writers of science fiction.

I played a few of these videos for a couple of my kids, and they were spellbound. The artist created an effect on them, and stimulated their interest. I think that's a good thing :-)

I'll use it with the grandkids. Don't get me wrong. But me, I'll never actually get it.

Dude, I'm a frigging cook.

Aesthetcs does count. And my grandbabies will enjoy what I don't particularly.

But you are talking to a man that couldn't get past matrix form of finite differences on numeric integration.

Cooking school only goes so far. And I took it as far as I can go.

Would you like fries with that? ;)
