A brave little kidney bean becomes a plant

August 4, 2018

I found this video on the kottke.org blog.  It is a time-lapse photo of a kidney bean sprouting into a plant, shot at the rate of one shot every 9 minutes 36 seconds and played at the rate of 30 frames per second.

The little bean seems strangely gallant to me.  It makes me feel proud to be a carbon-based life form.

An Amish barn raising in Ohio

September 13, 2014

This time lapse video shows more than 100 Amish men erecting a whole barn in just under eight hours.

It is an example not only of neighborliness, but of teamwork, precision and know-how.

Every volunteer seems to know precisely what he is doing, and to do it without getting in the way of anybody else.

Creatures that live in slow motion

April 11, 2014

Corals, sponges and other marine life are mobile creatures.  They build coral reefs and are important to the earth’s biosphere.  But they live at a different time scale than human beings, so we can see their movement only with the help of time lapse photography.

My favorite planet

November 19, 2011

When I consider the state of politics and the economy, I feel depressed.  When I contemplate the state of science and the arts, I cheer up.

Michael Konig of Berlin made this video from still photographs taken by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration from the International Space Station.  It is a kind of interface of science and the arts.
