bubbles I levels are fascinating scientific phenomena
bubbles, she is one the finest women ever met.
I knew what the premise of science is...
Before you go to the moon, you have a premise.
and that premise is the constancy of natural law.
Scientist. Now the premise in religion is the existence of a God.
I'm thinking very profoundly now and when it came to me like a flash
Psychic. Bubbles will last if they do not break.
if they do not break bubbles will last forever
now that may not sound too profound to some people but to this man it is a
foundation of a very special
fifty-year love affair. Funny isn't it? But it's true!
Bubbles will last if they do not break!
A love affair with soap bubbles
Eighty-year-old Eiffel Plaster is the beethoven of bubbles
the Grandmaster those slippery globules
nearly fifty years ago Eiffel began experimenting with these sudsy wonders
and ended up creating the only bubble show in the world
he calls it is his Bubbles Concerto.
I had been blowing bubbles for 50 years. But I must say I had been working with bubbles prior to that.
all prior to that time as a young physics teacher eiffel use bubbles for
science class demonstrations
his interest and others became so keen and his mastery so great
he soon started performing the bubbles professionally to Eiffel the wondrous
bubble was it something you just blew
bubbles should be touched and tickled caressed in cottled
its fun. You can lift a bubble up like that up and squeeze your fingers to drop it
reach out and catch it
you can hold it in your hand, play with it, catch with it. After playing around with bubbles
eiffel finally gets down to business and begin sculpting them
here is creating one of his famous vertical chains which when completed
becomes is 5-foot Eiffel bubble tower. I want to be the master of the show.
I want to tell these bubbles what to do and I want them to do it.
When I tell them to join I want them to join. See? I want to be the master. But that isn't the way it is.
That's the way it may appear, that's the way I'd like it to appear...
but really I'm kind of humbled. Bubbles are the masters.
I've got to do it their way
Indeed Plasterer does it their way watch as he commands these two bubbles
to mate. Two Bubbles and joining together and become one
to count of 10 one, two, three
come on, four, five, six
come on and join! Thank you.
When Eiffel isn't busy with his bubbles like any artist, scientist or philosopher he retreats to his farm to revitalize by nature
The wonder is some people go through life
without being enthused about the beauty and wonder of the world
We are living in a marvelous world. Amazing and beyond our comprehension.
Much of Eiffel's wonderful world is made up of the bubble which he feels almost has a life of its own
and one time he produced a bubble that survived in a jar for 340 days the
longest ever recorded
but he discovered it bubbles are born they also die
Last year I saw something new that I had never seen before.
I saw two of them die a natural death. I call that
the twilight period of a bubble where it finally dissapears gets smaller and smaller and smaller
until it finally fades away. so the bubble
in twilight is the bubble beyond
physical sight. A bubble is in fact a microcosm of the universe
he says there's nothing more frail in all the world in the solution of soap
that when formed by breathing air into it
parallels creation itself by finding so much magic and so much joy in an
ordinary soap bubble
eighty-year-old Eiffel Plaster has found even more joy
in his extraordinary world
Much Applause.
