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?

Then be sure to watch each Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT starting on Oct. 15!
Obviously, footbag lends itself to this kind of program. I'm surprised it hasn't been suggested to them already. Anyway, I made a post about footbag in their suggestions forum. Check it out. Post your comments and bump it!

*Edit: I didn't see the TimeWarp thread here posted about a week before mine. I did a search to make sure it wouldn't be a repeat thread, and I also searched for a footbag thread on the TimeWarp suggestions forum and couldn't find one. I'm not sure how I messed that up, but my apologies. It would be cool if the moderators could delete this thread, but they probably won't..
