Although it seems that the intention of the video is to make your heart go pitter-patter, I found more value in the discussion it opens up.

I seems as though a moment can be likened to a morpheme in language. Small units that we, in our unaided human perception of time and action, can assign some sense of meaning and intention to in relation to a whole event.

Made me think about how we think. What properties does a snippet of our lives have to possess in order to qualify as a graspable unit that our minds can label as a part going towards a whole or merely a part unto itself. I think that "moments" occur where language can contain an event that lays just within the perceptible boundary of our unaided senses.

I completely agree. I too, came to post about how impressive that camera work was. I was suspicious at first because it seemed to have all the seamless fake-amateur zooms and pullouts that you see in "reality" commercials. Shaky enough to have you think it's witness shot, but captures all the elements to deliver a typical story arc. Not to mention the speeding train doesn't even escape the frame! But apparently it's real!

I gave a sharp "What?!", as I had long-thought that this function was employed by many plants that bead and channel water towards the stem. This is an official first?

If it ain't broke...

I think we hardly need to augment a bird's ability to catch insects (the above comments notwithstanding). Make 'em earn their meals, it's how things run properly. The design, while novel, purports a mentality of needless interference.
