What is a Nanosecond - by Grace Hopper

This is a great video (on content, not on visual quality), showing exactly what a nano second, and a micro second, physically are using real world items. What other "imagined" abstract ideas can be explained so simply and elegantly?  If you have any cool videos or ideas like this to share shoot me an email and I'll include them in this post!
