Putty of Rare Earth Magnets, Makes for a Very Weird Film

This has got to be one of the weirdest videos I have see to date.  Submitted online at YouTube by Scott Lawson.

Lawson describes the film as:

• Magnetic putty time lapse as it absorbs a rare-earth magnet. Taken over 1.5 hours at 3fps, played back at 24fps. The magnetic putty will eventually arrange itself so that the outer surface is as evenly distributed around the magnet as possible.

The grey putty like material appears almost alive as it absorbs the solid block.
