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.

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.
