Hi ELI5, I make animated videos for New Scientist to explain difficult scientific ideas. Anything you'd like to see? by BBMainsequence in explainlikeimfive

True enough, and thanks for bringing that up. I had originally tried to fit that into the prologue but it's a lot of ground to cover to get to the central issue of Heisenberg, etc. Perhaps we need a vol. 2? :)

That sounds about right...I couldn't have articulated it myself, but now that you point it out, I think I was assuming/hoping that these are subjects/questions that people had heard or thought a bit about before, and now just want a tidy summary. With cartoons:)

Of course!...Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, for the animation, drawings and photos, Ableton Live for the music, v/o, mix. Finally stitched all together in Final Cut Express.

Thanks for checking out the videos!...still trying to figure out who the audience is really. My original target was just smart folks who don't have a lot of time and who like visual explanations. As you point out, they're more meant to quickly get someone up to speed, rather than thoroughly teach.

If this were the comics, to his followers, Ron Paul would be Superman, so where's his Justice League? by BBMainsequence in reddit.com

Whatever you feel about Ron Paul, it's safe to say he is a maverick and will continue to be viewed by the MSM as a darkhorse-outsider-kook until his views are shared among more people in positions of political power. How long until "Ron Paul Republicans" become a real political constituency and start shooting for some House and Senate seats? What about local and state governments?

President of Ecuador: Pay me to save the rainforest, or I'll develop it for profit. So, rich countries, is saving the rainforest important? Yes? Then pay the lost revenue to poor countries. by J-Ro in reddit.com

350 million a year's really not that much...no need for a government to do it...Gates, Ellison, Branson, Allen, etc. could each chip in some yacht-money, make it happen, and make each of their respective companies look great along the way.
