This is one my personal favorite video, it says so much about complexity of anything.

Hi, we mainly evaluate topics on a couple of points, including: Is there a lot of intellectual satisfaction? Is there surprise? Can we do it better than anyone else out there? Does it have the potential to be a classic? A video that only we could do and that will do well for many years

It's interesting how Derek's hair and beard colour changes. lol

I actually got this right! But I'd worked on a model-scaling project a while back that gave me some insight. Imagine you are in a windowless room. You and the room both get shrunk to half-size. Would you be able to tell without leaving the room? If you drop something from 2 meters it should take a second to fall. But if the room has shrunk, it would take 1/4 second, because it is really only falling 1 meter. It looks like 2 meters to you, because you have shrunk along with the room. Movies tend to make this mistake. If things fall in the small room at the same apparent rate as the big room, it must mean your time perception has sped up. Which means (I think) that to you, gravity seems weaker. So you would be able to jump really high.

With all of the research and work that goes into making your videos, how do you decide which videos are worth making?
