Can You Bend Light Like This?

The video explores how boredom can lead to creativity and scientific discovery. It presents three light-bending experiments using simple objects like fingers and shadows, explaining the science behind these phenomena. The video also discusses diffraction and other theories, encouraging viewers to explore and experiment. It concludes by linking boredom to significant scientific discoveries, such as Einstein's theory of general relativity, and encourages curiosity.
