lol these are col

[iambunnymo]

[wubbwubbwubb]

55 people dont do enough acid

[mwhelchel7]

Dont be jealous we stumble and you guys dont!

[myusernameaeger]

this is amazing!

[sammiidarko]

@Shweetbox, that's so telling of your personality. You're pathetic, and you have worse social skills than that of someone who DOES have Aspergers. Stop being so judgmental. And for your information, this guy doesn't act at ALL like he has Aspergers. He may have a speech impediment but if you knew anything about the syndrom, well, you obviously don't, so there's no point explaining anything to someone who's not willing to be aware of what they speak of.

[ColletteGurthet]

Spidaminda thinks being talked to like a 5 year old is not enjoyalbe. But, I think if this man could be a good speaker, he would be that. He is who he is...These things are important to him, it what makes him who he is.... I must say that there was a minute or two when what he said about himself waht very telling. The same thing over and over again. Which was the truth.

[Abularkin]

While not proven, I believe there is a certain point in a multiverse where things like this stopped existing. I think part of my happiness was when I realized this was not one of those worlds.

[Shweetbox]

Aspergers much?

[whatsonwednesday]

this man is a genius.

[Breezybee97]

thumbs up if you got here from stumbleupon??

[dacaptain84]

This guy is an artist of life.

[spidaminida]

Yeesh...why do they have to put childish puns and jocular pseudo-hip crap after such an intelligent and well-constructed presentation?! Does anyone really enjoy being spoken to a 5 year old? Even a five year old?

[dvidby1]

This guy is so much more of a scientist than most scientists with a hundred publications.

[nfnkalyan]

@dvidby1 yeah! fuck those guys.  i got the same thing out of this video.

[dvidby1]

@nfnkalyan No, maybe let's not be so harsh (I'm trying to be one of them). But let's say that if humanity wants to rebuild after apocalypse, this guy will come in a lot more handy than most scientists.

[KatKatarax121]

i want wat hes on

[tigerbutter360]

Fantastic!

[ioshuaus]

I was 8 minutes into this when I realized, "Why haven't I favorited this yet?"

This guy is the best type of genius, the creative kind.

[jonnywright13]

You sir are a god

[Antoniuses]

Great video and work.. I like this artist too:

ralfw is the youtube name. ralfwesterhof.nl

Also amazing!!!

[Threetails]

This is some of the most clever kinetic sculpture I've ever seen, as in some of these linkages look like they could have real uses outside of art.  This guy's a mechanical genius.

[RagedREAP3Rx]

My mum sent me here. LOL

[ThursdayJay]

This is awesome - not only is that guy super smart, but really creative and perceptive. A beautiful intersection of math and art

[rnikorn]

A sample of a garage innovation.

[AtLeastIGotChicken1]

My AP physics class is attempting to build the square wave sculpture

[Scarramanga]

Fantastic work!

[ttharold]

I love kinetic sculpture, and this stuff is gorgeous! This is the first I've heard of Reuben's work, and I'm so glad this video was made. I'm inspired to keep working on my own projects. I love his use of recycled materials. I do the same with my metal work whenever I am able. Too cool, man!

[ElementzUK]

pfft, i could make those a million times over, in my sleep, with my hands behind my back, with my EYEs closed.

[NightLoad]

Noone cares who brought you there.

[jiveturckey145]

THUMBS UP IF MR MATH SENT YOU HERE.

@jiveturckey145 I lol'd and thumbed up because it's true...

[mrtehpuma]

Thumbs up if you hate it when people say "thumbs up because "___" sent you/me here! >.>

[TheRastamon42]

THUMBS UP IF YOU CAME HERE BY ACCIDENT BUT REALLY LIKED THE VIDEO ANYWAYS.

[007LemonHead007]

@TheRastamon42 shut the fuck up

[TheRastamon42]

@007LemonHead007 dude that was five months ago man, chill...

[007LemonHead007]

@007LemonHead007 lol my brother wrote that YOU FUCKING CHILL BRO

[eviljake330]

I love this so much! When art and science collide, the results can be wondrous, and in this case, many wonders. I hope to meet Reuben some day, and discuss his art and process!

[JBantha]

Google WAVE send me here... thumbs... no one?... :(

[gregswindsor]

I have just popped my head into kinetic energy as a sculptor and then found some ideas, and as I got more excited I started looking around then found your site and this has blown me away....thinking about energy production and motion ...thanks for your insight!

[Wildtails1]

Reddit brought me here, not Seananners...

[MagnaGarurumonSE]

[jojy6969]

How can someone not love this ?? if that guy was living in Albert Einstein time, he would be consider as genius ......... AMAZING work.....

[barronredneck]

Nice vid Reuben, your the only artists that shows some of the behind the scenes stuff and you talk about your intrest in making stuff since you were little. This vid is a real pic me up and will help me to keep going on my art prodjects. About the part when you speak of subing out, don't let that get to you because no one knows it all and if you get help then everything stops. Thanks.

[Seroga07]

is he high?



[Caineheist]

Space time....

[ams3188]

After listening to this guy talk about how he sees the ripples in the water, I kind of want to marry him...

[placidesulfurik]

His voice is as annoying as he's got talent.

That sounded ridiculous. I couldn't come up with anything better. Sorry.

[schwenkelll]
