Short Film: Das Rad

Posted on 14 April 2008 · 432 views · 107 words.

I wouldn’t normally post items like this one, but this is a great little film I found on YouTube called ‘Das Rad’. Its English title is apparently ‘Rocks’. It shows everything from the perspective of two rocks, watching things pass around them. Somehow I think astronomers will like it because of the different perspective it gives you with regards to the passage of time. It is interesting to try to view humanity on such a long time scale.
