How about a video of useless facts where math is used in everyday life. This would be great to answer the age old question, 'Why do I need to learn math for?' that many school children ask.

    It always blew my mind how (relatively) the microscopic universe is (let's just say) much larger than the known macroscopic universe. However human kind has always seemed more curious about stars than atoms. Then we get into the physics of it and realize that while our goals get larger our technology gets smaller... I feel there is a paradox here somewhere and if it is know please tell me... likewise, if it is known to be not known let me know and let's split some royalties.
