IBM makes the world's smallest movie.
« on: May 01, 2013, 02:51:48 pm »
So the blokes at IBM have made a stop-motion animation using carbon monoxide molecules, as you do (I can't embed the video for some reason):

What confuses me though is how 53 people can dislike this video.  It's an animation made using atoms for fuck sake!  Fucking atoms! What would you need to do in order to impress those people?

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Between curing cancer and making stop motion videos of carbon monoxide atoms, science will always choose the videos

The "making of" is even cooler to watch!

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

To be fair, curing cancer is not IBM's field.  Manipulating atoms in researching new computer tech is, though.
