Doing the Time Warp

The Discovery Channel, probably the only good reason to have cable – or a television for that matter. This is a channel that you can watch all day and not feel guilty. It’s a venue where you can soak up unending knowledge. It claims to provide you with knowledge of things you didn’t know you wanted to know.

So today, I found a new favorite show – Time Warp. It is a show that uses super-duper high speed digital camera. They film really fast things and they play it back at a really cool 1000 frames a second. At such extreme slow motion – things are amazingly different. A soap bubble bursting beautifully into minute little water sprays, a skipping stone spinning while bouncing off a body of water, fire-breathers spraying fire into the air. It was amazing. Definitely a breath of fresh air from all the newscasters squawking politics.
