Magnetic Movie

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?

This is an artist's rendition of what magnetic fields could look like if we could see them. It is not intended to be "real." The art is inspired by the words and culture of the scientists studying the sun's magnetic fields. From artist website: Magnetic Movie - exhibited at Brilliant Noise - consolidates Semiconductor's short films, depicting imaginary magnetic fields dancing across empty research labs at the Space Science Laboratory at Berkeley.

it's not 'fake'.  it's imagined.

It would be nice if you told us what we are seeing at the beginning of the video. Is this a simulation? Is it a superheated gas with strong field lines in it?

[marlenawitek]

Magnetic fields is not chaotic. :) chaos is what the human eye sees. The magnetic field takes information from the environment.

wow

[supernovalex1]

Very interesting I want to know more! thnks for putting this on youtube! :D

[MrFrancisH]

No, but 75% of the video didn't represent the totally chaotic flux of all magnetic fields. These fields do not exist as separate entities, it is not possible to isolate individual fields since all fields combine vectorialy in magnitude.

Why should I have looked further?

I don't think you watched the whole clip.

I hope this doesn't erase my hard drive.
