Aw, krumzy, it's just a fun way to get across some big science.

Agreed Krumzy, this was mostly annoying, mainly thanks to the presenter. It feels like we're getting nowhere fast and if you were really uninformed then this would be a tiresome, roundabout way of getting knowledge.

Delivery mechanisms are a motherfucker, huh??? Put another way, nanotech is much farther beyond what they give us to see, and count on what is seen here as baby steps that happened, 30 years ago.........smaller the better, still, for the few....

I hate science videos that make me feel like a 9-year-old.

I don't mean to be a kill joy, but does anyone else hate this kind of format for science shows? I always feel talked-down to from this format. It's trying to be far too affable at an expense of respectability. Yeah, yeah, I know the argument... it has to be "fun" or the layman couch potato wont watch it. But, honestly, so what if he doesn't? Let him watch his prime time sitcom, eat his tv dinner, and leave the thinking to the people who don't have to be coerced into doing so.
