Drew Berry: Animations of unseeable biology

http://www.ted.com We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.

You're the one with only one Book.

This video doesn't proove or disproove god or intelligent design for that matter.

I wish the intelligent people that watch science videos would stop fueling pointless debates with the ignorant. Down vote their comment, and let them go watch CNN. Take solace in the fact that you're vastly more intelligent than them, and are able view the universe in such a profoundly beautiful way.

I also wish my professors used things like this when I studied A&P, my god were the text books dense.

This video does crossover into Art. A creative human depiction of reality that prompts an emotional reaction in me of beauty, awe & fascination. Also good 2 c that, even at this scale, life still has that wibbly wobbly, creepy crawly & squirmy wormy movement. I feel itchy all over!

Aarrggh! It seems every time i c interesting science on utube, th comments have th old 'science vs religion' debate. It's as silly as 'olympic swimming vs making shoes'. They r 2 difrnt human endeavours, doing 2 difrnt things, 2 difrnt ways, 4 2 difrnt reasons, 4 2 difrnt results. Mayb both sides could explore their motives 4 getting involved in this false dichotomy.

"self directed learning" i can learn by myself, honey. i was talking about SCHOOLS. cant you read?

[Mehraan Chowdhury]

you naivety and inexperience comes off very clearly from you comment. so firstly his videos have been available on the internet (incl. youtube) for years - have you ever heard of self directed learning? secondly, not that i am a believer of theism, but in no way does this video proof or disprove god and if that not what you meant, your thoughts are all over the place.

[Raflemakt]

I do not envy you.

[irvykinneas]

lol

[Micah Lindstrom]

How could you not believe in God after this? You can believe in whatever you want, but all I think when I see this is how beautiful the process is and how much my body screams, 'God is AWESOME'.

[michnathalie]

i bvelieve in god...but also i believe in science !!!....
