Description: ============================================================================== Please Note: This was recorded before the onset of the current pandemic. That's why masks aren't being worn, people are closer than 6 feet and schools are actually in session. It was a simpler time... ============================================================================== Experiment with the fourth state of matter! Viewers with sensitivity should be aware of: 2:40-2:57 - Florescent lights and plasma tubes in the dark. 8:19-8:31 - Crazy ceiling rainbows! 8:38-11:10 - Flickering spectra in the dark. 11:37-11:50 - Green laser dancing on the wall.
