> as I'm sure most of their viewers aren't watching for any scientific aspect Watching what happened when he compressed a book was very very scientific to me, I've wondered that for ages, and the answer was not what I expected at all. The scientific value you get depends entirely on the questions the viewer has. I'm 100% certain that there's at least one object that any particular viewer is curious "what would happen", as opposed to just "see it break".
