Love your videos, but why are you attributing protein folding animations etc. to the microscope...? A bit misleading.

[UppruniTegundanna]

@Fnordicus Yup, I see what you mean. Basically, I wanted viewers to follow our journey inwards, understanding that it began with the microscope, but that it's not ONLY the result of the microscope.

The further away you go, the more similar the grand things seem to the small things.

Your videos are awe-inducing. Liked, favorited, shared on facebook, yet I still don;t feel I've done enough.

[TickleExpress]

Beautiful. Thank you. You understand the beauty of science.

[Gungfuwarrior]

Your videos make me cry. The music, the editing, the information, it's all just so well put together that it's just overwhelming. You are very talented, keep doing what you do!

did you find any sites to download copyright free material?

[UppruniTegundanna]

Yes, and if I were officially asked to take it down for that reason, then I would of course immediately comply. For now however, I hope people can get some enjoyment from it.

[TheHonestTheist]

I take it the footage is actually copyrighted then?

[UppruniTegundanna]

The sources of the images are listed in the sidebar, but getting them in HD has meant either ripping DVDs into mp4 or downloading the footage from the internet. I'm a bit obsessed with making sure everything is as HD as possible.

[UppruniTegundanna]

Oh, that's Keith Jarrett himself. He's one of my favourite musicians ever, but he had a tendency to vocalise along with his playing, a bit like Glenn Gould and Thelonius Monk. It's mostly inconspicuous, but I have some recordings of him where he simply won't shut up!

[TheHonestTheist]

oh and what's the deal with the noises of people in the background?

[TheHonestTheist]

very, very nice man! How did you manage to get some HD footage? where is it from?

[UppruniTegundanna]

Hi Kripptic2. Thanks for the comment, and you obviously read my message, which I appreciate too! I have read about the shifting baseline. The mistake I think you are making though, is to think that because it is possible to find isolated examples of decreasing beauty, that means that the entire planet is decreasing in beauty. Earth is a complex dynamic system, where things are constantly in flux, so we can find cases of decreasing beauty and cases of increasing beauty.

[UppruniTegundanna]

Thanks for the kind comment!

Terrific video, a feast for the senses. Thanks for crafting it so well.
