Thanks to everybody at Forskningsavdelingen for a really good event.

We hope to involve those interested in future hacking work.

On the occasion of a friend asking me for videos illustrating the nature of matter and the universe and all that stuff, i made a little list. this is it:

classic: powers of then

From quarks to outer space (very good!)

Atoms2Universe *Zoom OuT* – an artist rendering … more classical music than physics

cosmic zoom – the classic with the boy in a rowing boat on a lake

the ultimate zoom shot – 47 secs for the whole ride
