It's real. If you watch the whole thing, it's mind-boggling. I just finished it, and I'm blown away.

Just watched the whole thing from start to finish. It was sweet.
At the end that world expert talks about the "Little Rainman in all of us," and I definitely subscribe to that statement. I myself experience numbers pretty visually, though not nearly as dynamically and emotionally as Daniel does, and I associate different numbers with different textures and feelings. Seven is golden, and very sharp. 0 is like a rainbow. It doesn't help me do calculations, which is why I'm not a savant, but when I hear Daniel speak about the mental landscape being conjured as he sees different numbers I can relate.
All in all I'd rate it Awesome. Now I'm goin to bed.
That is really amazing. I wish I could feel numbers. Numbers are a lot more abstract for me, so I try to avoid them whenever necessary. >.>

Amazing video and a spectacular man.
Very Inspiring, already posted this link elsewhere as well ^_^
I saw this on the History channel, or something. ;P
It's pretty awesome, and though I can't relate too much with the numbers, different things trigger "landscapes" in my mind, such as words, or even clouds.
Wow, I'm good with numbers and math, I could do like 37^3, and a few decimal places with the division, but this is just AMAZING.
