Okay, as promised here is a feast of audio visual entertainment:

It's not as good as on a boat, but it has a catchy main quote: Like a Boss.

Space greatness. No explanation needed.

Nest up, do you remember that song Cotton Eye Joe? (Here's a quick reminder if you don't). Well, ever wonder what they did next? A massive artistic step forward for sure.

Whilst we're thinking about 90's classics, how about this one?

Okay, now some science. Have you heard of the Mandelbrot Set? It is a picture constructed using an incredibly simple rule, and yet this picture is infinitely complex. The rule is, take any point c in the 2 dimensional plane (i.e. a flat surface with some point designated as zero), then square it (according to complex multiplication - don't worry, it isn't actually 'complex' in the normal sense) and add on c. Do the same with the new number, then again, then again, and so on. Give a colour to that point according on how fast this moves off to infinity, or whether it stays finite. You get the following thing!

That gives you an idea of the general structure, now this should show you how deeply complex this shape is - this video is always zooming in, even when it looks like it is zooming out. By the time it finishes, if the original shape was drawn on the final scale, it would probably be way larger than the universe. Watch it here.

Now think for a minute. What does this tell you? Infinite, beautiful and varied complexity. Form beyond imagination and the symmetry of the gods. All from a one mind blowingly simple equation. It is fundamentally awesome.

One last thing, if you didn't watch this yet, do. Even if you did watch it last week, the latest version is in HD.
