That is absolutely fantastic! LOVE the style, and you're right - I learned something. I'm in the business of scientific animation and illustration, and this is an excellent piece.

very good! I wish the voice was recorded a bit better... but the animation/content is really great. I like the little running lightbulb :)

Great video, thanks for sharing it. I had read about this in a Stephen Hawking's book, but this animation is so clear and well done. I wish it would have Spanish subtitles to show it to my father, he loves this kind of stuff.

Absolutely needed to watch twice. Once to learn and a second to enjoy! :)

Excellent piece of work. This is something that animation can do so well - make complex ideas look simple (at least, when it's done as well as this one!)

Using very simple images/icons and animation to explain very complex subjects works very well. I like that they decided to use b&w so the viewer didn't get lost in the video and not understand the content being delivered.

Just found one of the animator's website:
http://www.rossphillips.net/
Worth a look, he's got a talent for very simplified stuff. Make sure to see his blog.
