Was it just me, or was the audio incredibly quiet?

Audio is not great on this unfortunately, but I thought it was still good enough to hear?

@Sciencefilms The reason this video is quiet is because only the left channel is working. Listen with headphones & you will understand.

I heard Alom on an interview, RE: his book recently published, & I was saddened to hear the pain he suffered from the death of his mother at an early age. It was truly fortunate for the world community that he was able to gain entry to the university & to be involved in science. He's doing a great job & I hope he continues for as long as possible.

Excellent intro and comparison.

Funny that I remember to have loved magic tricks when I was young as well. It does exist a big link between magic and Science : they both begin with amazement and questions: "How does that strange phenomenon occur ?".

It is also true that looking for the answer is often far more interesting than the answer itself, for both Science and magic : "The search for truth is more precious than its possession." Einstein.

He's speaking very quietly.
