(Having a $100,000 camera that shoots 250,000 frames per second doesn't hurt, either.)
Here is Destin investigating angular momentum at the motocross track.
Having watched every video, here is my annotated list of Smarter Every Day episodes.
The ranking has a strong bias for Physics, especially the Canadian curriculum. My comment sometimes highlights videos that rate higher for other interests like biology.
(Note Destin actually made SED videos for at least 3 years before numbered videos.)
