Yes those are actual atoms. The entire film is stop motion film of atoms and it received a place in Guinness Book of World Records.

This is pretty cool, I hope you are excited for the future as much as I am.

I remember hearing about this at the end of last week, but I never got to see the video...

That is some cool stuff.

That video is extremely cool and somewhat creepy at the same time. Then again the creepy part might come from my own ignorance about the subject, I was never really good at science... :smallsigh:

Don't read the comments. If those kinds of people existed 20,000 years ago, they would have called the discovery of fire "gay flashing lights."

I read the book and it was way better than this movie :tongue:

Anashamedly stolen from top comments.

I find it somewhat disturbing that such a groundbreaking film was an advertisement. I think it says something really upsetting about movies and atoms.

I find that not reading Youtube comments is just a good practice in general.

Anyway, the manipulation of atoms on that level is not that new. The making a film is. I'm impressed they have done this and let the world see what can be done now. Personaly I don't mind that it is advertising. Without that they would not have been able to get a budget to spend the time doing this.
