Seeing Beyond the Human Eye | Off Book | PBS Digital Studios

Technology defies the boundaries of human perception. From photomicrography to astrophotography, size and distance are no longer barriers, and through slow-mo and timelapse, we are allowed to see time and humanity in a new light. Through our curiosity and thirst for the unknown, the beauty of the universe can now be explored beyond the limits of the naked eye.

Featuring:
Liza A. Pon, PhD, Columbia University
Peter Lipschutz, Hayden Planetarium
Mike Nichols, Albecine
Jonathan Bregel, Variable

PBS Offbook is, by far, one of the best thing to have ever happened on you tube

[tdona]

Off Book PBS is an awesome television series, there is so much to learn and know. I can't wait to see more videos.

[StellarStreak]

This is one of the best web series i've ever encountered.
the art, the colour, the narration, the presentation, the topics are just pure imagination...
They show that there is more to life....
This truly is "off book"

[Lamster]

This is something I admire the beauty which nature has given us.

[NoQuo]

If you took all these off books and turned them into a full fledged documentary, think about how awesome that would be :D

Call it like "The Hidden Arts" or "The Worlds Outside of Society." Just something to show what people are overlooking, like off-book is already doing! Please keep up the fantastic work!!!

[Scaven]

[DISGUYROX]

NPR is a fantastic avenue of information.

[cathechung]

Wow what kind of audio is this? My ears feel like they're being wrapped up in a fluffy silky pillows filled with fluffiest feathers that fits right over my ears :D

[webos]

I'm on The Verge of being mindblown.

[themastroiannis]

it's so fast paced you can hardly appreciate the beautiful images....slow down!

[djfoo]

Is it me or part of the voice audio is out of phase?

[TheLuciferSDevil]

You guys didn't acknowledge the slow mo guys for their hard drive footage.

[HeelMAGGLE]

Who are the tree luddites who dislike this video?

[HeelMAGGLE]

Who are the three luddites who dislike this video?

[Pinkdustland]

This sounds like a religious documentary at the beginning

[Scaven]

"without the colours, its a very depressing situation."

damn, white boy, you're making some HARSH statements.

[STLforEVER]

music is higher than her voice. music choice is ZERO

I'm the 4th duddet that disliked the video saying
