Nice. Gonna make sure I use the disclaimer 'science is about to happen' next time I destroy something.

[Adieu]

Where's the drop?

[Joyrex]

Ask Rupert.

 

Seriously, it's amazing that hitting the glass directly won't shatter it, but just wiggling the thin part of the "tail" will cause a chain-reaction.

[Adieu]

Yeah, it is cool science stuff.

good stuff

[vertsk8er419]

both of those videos were great. guys a got a knack for making science interesting in a devout Christian, southern public school teacher-sort of way. good for the dude though, indulging in science whilst keeping it biblical. even proudly thought about subscribing (in a sick Louie C.K. sort of way)...

nice link.

this guys channel is really good... I wish more people would do videos like this, and spend less time on editing. there is far too many videos that are ruined by background music. I love hearing raw sound of places I've never been before

[delet...]

This is true. The sound from place bit.

[keltoi]

enjoyable
