criminally unsubscribed channel,

@melbn: Hope you have seen our other two... periodicvideos (chemistry) and nottinghamscience (all sorts of behind the scenes stuff about science)

These videos are getting better and better, love it when you show how things work. Still tricky to understand, but I am only 15 years old, and english is not my mother-thounge.

@Havard07

Thanks for watching...

I don't know what I was doing when I was 15, but I don't think it was watching videos about fractal dimensions being delivered by a physics professor in a foreign language!

@Tossphate Omg that's the most awesome fractal joke ever ^_^

[Badgerinthenight]

@ratje67 They were probably christian.. or allergic to dust bunnies ^_^

@davidandkaze It isn't two dimensional because it covers three dimensional axis - x, y and z. The fluid isn't completely flat, it has depth to it but it's just not a lot of depth. :)

Can anyone point me in the direction of the sixtysymbools video that contains a computer simulation of the self organisation of the universe over the past 13.5 billion years please..? I know there is at least a brief bit of video where we get to see the universe becoming less smooth over time.. but I haven't a clue which one and have been looking for ages now.. ^_^ thanks!

(3:00) Its two dimentional!!!! 1d= a point or line. 2d=a flat shape like a square. 3d= a shape that is not flat, like a box. (4:16) oh yeah. and we only have dust bunnies in america. that is so unbelievably true.

Troll!

i thought the branch is called a frone (sp) and the leaf is called a leaflet (sp)?

@CarlosCasanostra, Huh? Fascinating. I never saw or heard of anything like it. It's nmot a known phenomenon, and I havbe no idea why your miracle tree does that.

Maybe you can show it to some botanics / chaos specialist.
