This is brilliant! OK, so you can argue about the experiment, and whether the test is entirely fair (is it just the shape that’s being tested, or does the sticky tape have something to do with it too?). However, that concern is addressed directly in the film.

So, this really is a film about an experiment, rather than just a demonstration. That’s wonderful.

Great work, all. I love it.
