Your vision path is the editor's vision path

Look at the motion graphics and the editing.
The editor cuts to white to differentiate scenes and different explanations but the most important factor is that the way this short film is constructed, the cuts and mainly the animations are made in such a way that your eyes always follow a set path and should the path change, there is a smooth exchange and not an abrupt discontinuity.
Putting the great animation and editing aside, the content is a vulgarized version of something would give anybody a headache if explained in technical terms.

I agree, I actually stumbled across this video a while back. I also enjoyed the sound effects he used at specific points. It also helped maintain interest in a subject that is normally boring. An quick example: the first dot appears on the screen at the beginning and it is accompanied by, what sounds like, an arrow hitting a target.
