Clifford Stall is a scientist. Or an astronomer. Maybe he is a physicist.

I am not sure actually. But just listened through his talk on TED- and this DEMANDS a mention and sharing.

A maverick scientist, he fits the eccentric scientist stereotype to the ‘T’. Fidgety, restless and full of things to talk about, he is seen talking almost in a state of hallucinated paranoia – and for the first few minutes made me wonder if there is substance or a theme in the talk, or just plain showmanship for entertaining the audience.

Blown up zero volume glass containers, a science experiment and an amazing, possible real life chase story that led him to the TRUTH- all in one TED talk!

But towards the end- it all seems to make, well, a bit of sense.

Stall epitomizes constructive rebellion- the theme of ChasingTheStorm.com.

“Once I do something, I want to do something else.”

Sums it all up.

Enjoy.
