    Surprised no one reviewed this

    Excellent mini documentary starring the wonderful genius physicist Jim Al-Khalili testing gravity and studying the aspects of aging. Quite fascinating stuff especially the black holes bit and confirming that some of the gravity/weight tests actually work.

    • Trivia
      The "beetle" filmed for the illustration of Einstein's analogy is actually an assassin bug, Reduvius personatus. Assassin bugs are not closely related to beetles at all, and are much more closely related to stink bugs and other shield insects.

      [opening words]

      Jim Al-Khalili: Would you like to lose a little bit of weight without doing any exercise or dieting? Would you like to age just a bit more slowly than your friends? Well, you might be surprised to hear the laws of physics can help. The key to unlocking these everyday questions is gravity.
