Discovery Channel: Time Warp

One of the new shows that premiered on the Discovery Channel this season was Time Warp. Time Warp, starring Matt Kearny and Jeff Lieberman, has a very simple and fun premise: let's watch a ton's of stuff happen in slow motion. That's it. They use high speed cameras to capture some everyday, and some very unique actions.

It's pretty neat stuff. And they even include some science behind what we are seeing! Check it out!
