I was watching the Discovery Channel last night and saw a preview of this show. It will premiere Wednesday Oct. 15 @ 8 pm EST/PST.

Do you know how your dog uses its tongue to drink? In what exact way a face contorts when punched by a UFC contender? What happens when an egg falls into the pinwheeling blades of a fan? Or an apple is hit with a bullet?

Likely, with nothing but your naked eye to guide you, you haven't got a clue. In fact, there are countless events the world has to offer that our limited senses can't fully appreciate ... until now, anyway.

Welcome to Discovery Channel's new series Time Warp, in which MIT scientist and teacher Jeff Lieberman uses new technologies to bring truly never-before-seen wonders into a form that your body can actually process.

Using the latest in high-speed photography, the Time Warp team takes some natural events (a cat licking its paw, a champagne bottle being opened) — and some not-so-natural (a water balloon to the face, a raw piece of chicken exploding) — and turns them into a thing of both beauty and learning.

Premiering on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, the series is filming right now, and we're looking for suggestions of events to slow down or speed up! Won't you help us have a little fun with science?
So I'll watch it and see what this is all about

So all they're doing is slowing stuff down with high-speed cameras?

Doesn't sound new to me.

..Although the scroll/scrub thing on the site is awesome.

scroll thing is cool, but the idea of the TV show is far from original...

The show's concept is awesome.  It doesn't have to be original to be good.  The only thing I don't like is some of the things they show aren't that interesting.

True, but HD makes up for it.
