Check out a slinky falling in super slow-motion

(CBS News) It's kind of a slow day today out here on the Internet.I mean, it's hot outside, so everyone is feeling a bit lethargic.  And Twitter keeps going down for some reason. So I'm going to take all this as a sign that we need something slow in terms of our next video to post. Like super slow-motion slow. Like a slinky in super slow-motion. Like the above video. Like... oh, you get the idea, just watch it already.

That is some epic slinky in super slow-motion footage there, right? And there's even some learning!  About slinky physics!  How cool is that?  Very cool, in my opinion.  The YouTube video aptly entitled "Awesome HD Slinky Slow-Mo" was posted by Veritasium who write about the project:

The original goal of Veritasium was to show the beauty of science and I think the first minute and a half of this is the closest I've come. This is the last in a series of six videos about slinkies.
