Cool ... though the physics was disappointingly "classical" ;)

This is a very interesting movie. The 'making of the movie' was interesting too. I liked the keyboards that they were using in the office.

Submitted many times, and yet it never gets any discussion. The only comment on all the previous submissions (from a quick, desultory search) is this: ======== How it was made : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA4QWwaweWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA4QWwaweWA What are the ripples? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ6Hv_du2Zo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ6Hv_du2Zo ======== Similarly, it never seemed to get much attention, judging by the severe lack of up-votes.

One of the really challenging parts of making this movie is that you never know exactly where the "pixels" are. There's a chance that the head didn't actually get the CO atom. There's also a chance that the atoms bounced around some while moving the atoms.
