X_X I *DONT* get this. lool I feel dumb xD You said: NEVER add exponents unless they are identical, but at 4:38 you say: x^3 * x^5 = x^8 ???????? 3 and 5 are NOT identical, yet you add them, exactly what you told us not to do... I feel dizzy

@thrqs

x^3 * x^5 is TIMESING, not adding. Its x^3 + x^5 thats forbidden. You can times them all day long.

The echo seemed like a good idea at the time, but is now my largest regret. I thank god that I stopped doing that for my Physics movies.

Bernard this movie wast exquite! I think i will show it to my high school chemistry class with your permission, oh Treky One. Is it just me or did the concept of the force always facinate you the Star Wars trilogy? My question to you is, Is there scienctific truth befind that? Is there a way to harness the force. (excuse me if I sound a little nerdy) you just seem to be the type that would know the answers. Anyway I will stop my blabbing. SciFi Rules. Thanks again for the awsome Vid. Peace Out!
