Here's a timeless classic: About Time, 1962 - EndtheMadnessNow - 01-09-2024
Learn about time...like from a generation ago.
Quote:Planet Q has just made a clock, but can't figure out what time is. Lucky for them Peacock Award Winning Professor Dr. Frank Baxter knows a lot about time and leads us into a fantastic discussion about time itself. A great documentary on the mystery and function of time in our lives. It is a cosmic discussion that includes time, space and the whole universe! The documentary ABOUT TIME was produced by Bell Labs in 1962 and was a short in some movie theaters in the USA. With live action and animation.
Bell Labs produced this film for AT&T Corporation as part of its "The Bell System Science Series" of nine films from 1956 and 1964. The host for the first eight films was Frank C. Baxter, a USC professor of English and television personality who played the role of "Dr. Research" (or "Dr. Linguistics" in The Alphabet Conspiracy). The host for the last film, "The Restless Sea" (1964) in the series was Walt Disney.
Quote:Following their television broadcast, the films were made available free of charge for classroom use. J. B. Gilbert estimated that, by the mid-1960s, the films had been watched by five million schoolchildren and half a million college students; about 1600 copies of the film were ultimately distributed.[3] The films were later released on home video and DVD. Over the more than 30 years they were in popular use, Baxter biographer Eric Niderost estimates, the films were seen by some 200 million students.
