Thanks, was a good watch

Fun short video about the physics of slinkys taken with a high-speed camera. Really weird stuff imo.

found this, thought you kids might enjoy it.

Update: Meeeehhhhh. This guy is probably a fraud.

So Moonwalking with Einstein and his talk page (wiki) have me believe. Before becoming famous, he competed in the World Memory Championships under a different name and apparently used mnemonic techniques which he discusses on his website in 2001 (see cached version of that page here). Just FYI for anyone who watched this video, and I'm also interested if/why anyone disputes the claim that he is (at least partially) deceiving his audience.

Since 1951 every year Noble Prize Winners gather in Lindau at Lake Constance in Germany and give lectures about a vary of topics.
You can watch them at the mediatheque of the Lindau Institution.

Not much science, but very pretty. Click 'Take the Tour' for the best beginning.

only bad thing is no mouse-wheel scrolling.

Am i missing something? It seems they dont realise that all numbers are real numbers.
1 = 1.00000000000....
So the whole premise of there beeing different types of numbers is false.

You need to take a math class, bro. Some numbers are real like you and me. Some are imaginary like dragons. Some are irrational like women. Some are whole like milk. Some are natural like gays. Some are rational like sherlock. Some are transcendental like woowoo. Some are surreal like wowwow. Some are prime like 18 year-old poon. I could go on, but you get the point. Lots of types of numbers and many are unreal.
