Excellent vid. Nice clarity without being patronizing

Latest comment: I guess that's why you often hear train wheels squealing at a railway station - the train is moving too slowly to slide out on the track if going around a gentle curve or crossing points, therefore the flanges touch the rail creating that familiar squealing.

Scientists of this calibre who can explain things with this clarity are few and far between. We need more.
