High speed camera footage of hand chopping concrete block.

What I find interesting about it is the fluidity of the hand. That's the point of the video, but to me, it's the Taoist metaphor. The whole Tao thing is that water overcomes stone. The soft overcomes the hard. And this video gives a very powerful, modern illustration to that metaphor.

Material elasticity is actually amazing. I have been told you can use a high speed camera on a steel bicycle and watch it bend and flex, then spring back, as it's pedaled.
