This whole documentary explains how you use origami and folding techniques in art, biology, astronomy, and in the daily use of life.
In the documentary, they used Eric as an example. Eric started college at the age of 12, and studied folding in college. He has his PhD at 20 years old and became the youngest professor ever at the school he taught at. With folding, he incorporated it into all aspects of life. He learned it wasn't just origami, it was something he can use to help people, and understand things.
Examples of these "things" that you can use folding for would be math, or specifically geometry. Geometry can be very confusing and hard to learn and hard to teach students. People have figured out that using origami can help turn a hard concept, into an easy one. By folding paper, and using shapes, it helps the student visually see it, making it easier to understand. Also using the many colors in the origami piece can help organize the math problems an make it simpler.
More examples include space and diseases. Robert was a researcher who made a huge fold-able lens for a satellite dish that connected with space. He also used folding by helping him figure out what causes diseases. He looks into the human proteins and uses what he knows about folding and origami into looking at the proteins. Robert figured out that some proteins should not be folding in the body, which is what is causing the diseases.
I never knew that something like origami could help with real world situations. I think it is interesting that it can make such a huge difference and people don't even know about it.
