Mark,
Most folks in the FQXi community believe that General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the fundamental principles that govern the Universe, but you have successfully demonstrated that it is CONVECTION that rules the world! And for that, you deserve to win this constest!
Your video is great: the humor works, the pacing is dynamic, the animations help to understand the topic, the sound quality is excellent, you have a great voice for narration, and then there's the kettle. Who can ask for more?
I hope that you and the demented midgets you use as lab assistants get to make many more great videos! Good luck in the contest!
Marc
P.S. I suspect that many video creators in this contest do not realize that a video has to get at least 10 community votes before the deadline (September 12) to even get a chance to be considered for the final round. (Or maybe there's not much voting because everybody secretly despises each other's videos...) So, if you have the time to take a look at my completely not funny but oh so profound trilogy of videos "This Is Physics", it would be quite appreciated! Don't forget to use your video creator code to vote, so your votes get counted in the community category!
