The latest in John Boswell’s beautiful Symphony of Science series:
Why Did the Universe Create the Human Brain?
Here’s the latest music video (“Ode to the Brain!”) in John Boswell’s wonderful Symphony of Science series. I was at first repulsed by this one, since it has many images of the meaty brain exposed outside its skullcage. But then, in a quiet moment, I watched it again and again.

How Would You Change Your Life If You Thought … ?

The Secrets of Evolution are … Time and Death
Here’s the latest creation from Symphony of Science, another beautiful little video, this one called “The Unbroken Thread.”
The reason I love these videos so much — and I suppose it’s possible for some people to not love them — is that, using science, they deliver the same emotional “hit” or impact as religion at its [...]
