Great story of obsession leading to what I think is a pretty spectacular success. I’m sure the math and fluid problems are very interesting for those equipped to take them on, but it’s really great just as a simple, elegant machine that produces a beautiful, unique result. Glorious, indeed.

Not çurious enough to watch the 12 hour supercut. But curious nonetheless 
And this is what they call archiving your data.
That’s a binary clock, according to my husband, who not only has some familiarity with Smarter Every Day videos, but whose boss actually has one at their office.
Binary. Clocks.
Ye gods how very very nerdy!
It’s hard enough for me to go mentally translate back and forth from 12-hour and 24-hour clock times (U.S. and Europe/Asia/rest of the world etc.).
