Scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries.

Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries as scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries.

The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent 'whistlers' produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?

  • That's not mic noise, it's the "sound" of the magnetic fields...

  • And may I find this device at Walmart?! I want one! ;D

    It's fantastic btw! ;)

  • I really got a lot out of this, explained in a really imaginative way Thanks.

  • so much shopped

  • The video's nice, with decent polish. But it's seldom clear what's being illustrated. I wish it would show a more obvious fidelity to the field lines in the settings shown. Rather than "that's cute, the field lines curve toward the steel table" one rather gets a message of "Magnetism is hubris! See how lightning makes it stronger! We must send it back to Science and Outer Space!"

  • Most of it's lightning strikes, near and far.  The Dawn Chorus is only lightly featured

  • 3d animation and poor quality waste of time

  • No.. It's not real. It's a 3D animation, overlaying real (terrible) audio and video footage.

  • Is this for real?

  • really cool video
