Beautifully done. After watching the video I wondered if I could get some explanations on what I saw. I vaguely recognised in the video the cellular machinery that build and dismantle all the cell structures. Perhaps, someone at Harvard could explain? Well, of course.

Nothing moves us like images that show space, time and matter in comprehensible ways. It's a great way to get tax payers participate in science and increase their (our) contribution. Our short-lived mammalian brain needs all help it can get to transport itself into spaces and timescales that it has not evolved to comprehend instinctively.

Mesmerising... but, truth be told, a lot of it I had no idea what was going on... I think I recognised something to do with DNA somewhere, and maybe protein synthesis.. unless that was a figment of my imagination... I have a lot to learn.

Truly amazing how complex even the minutest part of our body is.
