Great science videos

[pominoz]

I love watching youtube vids that explain science in an entertaining way (instead of wasting an hour or so watching shite on tv).
So i am asking you guys to post your favourite science vids in here.
Here are a couple of my favourites.

The first on is part two, but very funny and informative,

Time to go to Specsavers. I genuinely had to do a double-take at this thread as I thought the title was 'great suicide videos'. That's what 4 hours kip does to you!

Pretty much anything by Veritisium http://www.youtube.com/veritasium and
Minute Physics http://www.youtube.com/user/minutephysics are worth a look. And there will be recommendations at the side for similar.

Cheers, but i was hoping for 1 hour+ videos, that get to the nuts and bolts of a subject.
Something to while away an hour or so as the Mrs watches Antique Roadshow or the latest Location, Location, Location.

Not a video but still very fascinating.

It's more like a history (of science and of history) lesson now, it's so old, but this James Burke series I used to love watching as a kid
