I'm far from being a quant geek, but that was awesome on multiple levels!

Mac: This was really cool. I may have to put the URL to this video on my bookcase next to my autographed photo of Richard Feynman and my bronzed boson.  Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it. John

Now I'm envious. Of your bronzed boson.
I had one here at one time, cute thing it was, but it got eaten by our quark in a bizarre and unfortunate accident.

First of all, hats off to the guy who made that video! I won't say I'm a quant geek, as this field of theory was just becoming part of the physics curriculum at the school where I did my undergrad degree, and even then it was only subparticle theory stuff, no string theory stuff that I recall. I loved the names of the subparticles, however. They sounded 'like the future', as if they came from an episode of the Jetsons. About 10 years ago, my brother-in-law started a writing club and brought a book to the club called "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick", which was pretty much pictures only. You can peruse the pages on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0395353939/ref=rdr_ext_tmbWe each had to choose a picture and then write a very short story about it, and I chose the 'Archie Smith: Boy Wonder' picture. Here's my story that I wrote - the subparticle theory stuff ties in my story in just nomenclature only. http://rockstarnot.rekkerd.org/writing/Boy%20Wonder.htmlAnyways, thanks for the link, Mac. BTW, this exercise that my brother in law had us do started me on the road to more prolific songwriting - even though this was a short story. Try looking at the pages of that book and see if you can't think up a story about each picture and then write lyrics to a song from the story in your head.

That Tim Blaine fellow that made the physics music videos is sooo talented on many levels. It's wonderful to see such a creative person make so much work look like so much fun.
