Directed by the pioneering UK documentarian Richard Leacock, Frames of Reference is a slick and surreal dive into physics fundamentals and, in particular, why everything is indeed relative. Produced for high-school physics classes, the 1960 film features the physics professors Patterson Hume and Donald Ivey of the University of Toronto explaining, through an intertwined series of lectures and clever demonstrations, how frames of reference shape perspective. Using rotating sets, camera tricks and a visual style that suggests the film noir of Alfred Hitchcock, this is perhaps the most peculiarly entertaining half-hour physics lecture you’ll ever have.

Props for the dude being so chill while hanging upside down .
Ahhhh. Such good memories. Loved this film - even as a back of the classroom juvenile delinquent.
Those days teachings were legendary
This cinematography is 10x better than most movie today.
I like how at the end the camera flips them both upside down .
This is so well done
THIS IS GOLD!!!
Such a cool video
Perfect video but a correction. In the video, terms velocity and speed were misused. Velocity is a vector quantity which also has a direction. Thus, when they are pushing the ice puck towards each other, it does not move with same velocity. It moves with same speed, but opposite velocity (with respect to cart). 10:41 If Dr. Hume gives it the same start, it moves back in this direction with the same SPEED. 11:03 If we were making measurements here, then we would observe the same SPEEDS (or velocities with same magnitude in opposite directions). 12:25 With the same SPEED v in opposite direction, .. The ball moves towards right with velocity *v* , and towards left with velocity *-v* , with respect to cart.

True
The guy is living in 2060. Brilliant mind
Trippy!
The force is not acting on the ball it os acting on the frame it self as it is accelerating. 15:47
