actually no, he's demonstrating the way our brains work in a certain musical respect.

This was amazing, and true. When you think about it, as long as the audience didn't have hearing problems, for obvious reasons, any group of people, of any age, around the World would understand this experiment/demonstration. It is also amazing how well it works too!

Completely made up on the spot. This is just what Bobby does and I have yet to find someone else who can do the same.

A pentatonic scale can start from any note, it's a Tonic, a minor third, a fourth, a fifth and a minor seventh

No, it is not a scale of perfect fifths. It is the normal major scale with the 4th and 7th scale degrees removed. This deletes the leading tone and the sub-mediant giving it a lack of identity.

@leonardobog: If that was a lot of musicians, then at 00:57 they would have sung a chord, about half choosing left leg note and half choosing right leg note, if you understand me? :)

It's a science festival, so probably not.

That was about gay. No, Debussey and Ravel demonstrated extraordinary uses of the pentatonic.
