How We Measure The Universe Video

There comes a time that we're so bored out of our skulls that we start asking simple questions that only the smartest guys in the world know how to answer. Apparently one of the complicated questions is how we currently measure the universe. I'm pretty sure my small brain can't handle all the information from wikipedia and whatever other nerdy stuff a google search would dish out. I'm not even sure if I can compute the square root of anything or any other mathematical equation aside from addition and subtraction. Luckily the guys over at the Royal Observatory of Greenwich made a simple video that pretty much explains everything with moving pictures and a smooth voice that I can listen to rather than sleep to. It's a great way to learn something new in exchange for 4 minutes of your boring life.
