That is just the most amazing thing I have ever seen done. I never knew it could be so complex. Thanks for the video Lars!

That was neat! It could even go in the Science Center. I didn't realize that the principles of origami were used for scientific developments.

And take from seventy springs a score, / It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow.
