I learn visually. It just makes more sense to me if I can see what's happening to understand why something is happening.
That being said, on Fark today I went to
this website and took a trip at nearly the speed of light.
I've read book after book and seen picture after picture and finally after some hard work kind of understand how light moves. It would have been so much easier if I had seen this video first. It's so much easier to build a book shelf when you know what the book shelf is supposed to look like.
