Rather than being towed, the payload explores its entire tethered configuration space between one step and the next. Not a donkey walking along a river towing a barge, but a mouse clinging to wire and a balloon a hurricane. The nanoscale moshpit from hell. It's like creating education content about human locomotion, for aliens completely unfamiliar with it, and with no sense of what's plausible, and showing them only one of those stop motion videos where someone floats along not touching the ground. An extremely biased selection of video frames to tell a very false narrative. Worse, this and other misconceptions engendered might be mitigated by very briefly including other representations... but the folks who created the video explicitly prioritize "pretty" over "do no harm". Which rather diminishes my appreciation of their beauty. > cool to visualize the organized thermodynamic Years ago I saw a video at a talk, of simulated viral icosahedral capsid assembly. The panels are tethered together, to maintain proximity, as they bounce and slam together and apart, incrementally assembling and misassembling. I wish I could link to it. If anyone knows of content to give a visceral feel for nanoscale dynamics, I'd appreciate hearing of it.
