bro was too proud to loose an argument
25 year old: "It's starting to fall." 87 year old: "It fell, yay!"
the first drop should be enough to tell that pitch is a liquid
Literally me on the toilet, having a staring contest with a cockroach in the corner
They turned a hour glass into a millennium glass.
Imagine seeing the drop fall live
That constipation be hittin hard
The moment it started seeping down and protruding out the bottom was already proof enough that its a liquid. Because a solid wouldn't do that. They didnt even have to wait for the first drop to fall.
"Bro I think this rocks a liquid" "Prove it" đź’€
Watching paint dry ❌ Watching pitch drop ✔
As a geologist, I love talking about viscosity. For reference, the viscosity of honey is about 5000 mPa•s (milli-Pascal second). Pitch has a viscosity of around 10^11 mPa•s. Probably the most viscous substance on Earth is rhyolite lava, which is about 10^13 mPa•s. The Earth's mantle is made of flowing solid rock, with about 10^25 mPa•s. Movement doesn’t get much slower than that.
this is like waiting for GTA games to come out after GTA5
Fun fact: One person was actually watching this in real life, he watched it for weeks, then he went to the toilet and missed it.
imagine someone reports the stream, and youtube staff had to watch all of it from the start
Iirc, apparently a professor was watching it for a bit, then left for a few minutes to make a coffee to watch it for longer. When he returned, a drop had fallen. I can’t imagine the pain in that lol
imagine it actually turns out to be a solid. man, history will sigh so loudly..
"how old are you" "2 Drops old" đź’€
Keeping experiments alive in the name of those who couldn’t be alive long enough to see the results are who make humanity prosper.
For anyone wondering, 1. First drop: Fell in 1938 (8 years after the experiment began) 2. Second drop: Fell in 1947 (9 years later) 3. Third drop: Fell in 1954 (7 years later) 4. Fourth drop: Fell in 1962 (8 years later) 5. Fifth drop: Fell in 1970 (8 years later) 6. Sixth drop: Fell in 1979 (9 years later) 7. Seventh drop: Fell in 1988 (9 years later) 8. Eighth drop: Fell in 2000 (12 years later) 9. Ninth drop: Fell in 2014 (14 years later) Predictions: • Tenth drop: Estimated to fall between 2028-2030, based on the current rate. • Eleventh drop: Expected around 2043-2045, given that the intervals between drops seem to be increasing. • Twelfth drop: Likely to occur around 2058-2060.
