Discover how the rules of physics create knots... a grotesque parody of a real research carried out by two scientists from a university in California. Such research won an Ig Nobel Prize, given out to the most trivial achievements in scientific research.
The video is part of the ‘Tractatus logico-phileroticus’ project.
