We’ve Watched This Droplet For 91 Years But Nobody’s Ever Seen it Happen

Waiting for that drop to drop is like waiting for the end of the world. That professor came sooo close though. The video also talks about other long-running experiments we never even knew existed. Fascinating! ...

This droplet is part of whats known as the longest running scientific endeavor according to Guinness World Records.

What you see here is the pitch drop experiment which has been going on for 91 years. Back In 1927, Thomas Parnell, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia set out to demonstrate to his students that while some substances appear solid, they’re actually highly viscous fluids.

BE AMAZED

How small a hole can a mouse get through? Experiments.

The sound effects alone was worth the watch of this experimental video with over 18M views, involving one mouse, some peanut butter, various sizes holes... and a shrew?...

Experimenting with how small a home a mouse is able to fit through.  But it didn't go as planned.  I had a lazy mouse, and a hard-working invading shrew.

Update:  Two days later, the shrew squeezed itself through the 16.5 mm hole (See 2nd video)

Shrew squeezes through 16.5 mm hole, epic struggle

In my previous mouse video, I said the shrew never made it through the 16.5 mm hole.  But two days after that video It actually did make it in there!

200 dropped wallets- the 20 MOST and LEAST HONEST cities

Hmmm. We wonder what the results would be like here in Canada?
"A few weeks ago I lost my wallet which made me sad because it is a pain to get everything replaced," Mark's opening line in the video. Ain't that the truth! But who would be honest enough to return it? Which city would be the most honest in returning a lost wallet? Mark Rober finds out in this experiment...

I lost my wallet.  That made me curious about what kind of person doesn't return a found wallet.  So I got 200 wallets and dropped them in 10 cities to collect data to rank the honesty of the cities and to build a profile of an honest person.  We looked at variables such as male v. female, age, high income v. low income, religious v. non-religious, small town v. big town.

Can a Raindrop Cake Protect Galaxy S8 From 100 FT Drop Test?

We dunno. Guess we'll have to watch the video to find out... and to also find out what the hell is a Raindrop Cake...

Raindrop cake is tasteless, melts instantly in your mouth, and has almost no calories. But can it protect a Galaxy S8 from a 100 FT drop test? Let's find out!
