Moving Still

By chopping time up into little pieces, scientific photographers have been able to provide surprising answers to a range of questions. How does a human hand chop through blocks of wood? How does a flying insect keep its body still? And what happens in the first millisecond of a nuclear explosion?
It was beautifully presented and photographed. (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH) Editor SIMON CAMPBELL-JONES Written and produced by CHRISTOPHER HAWES
