Pitch drop watch

It may not be relevant to a lot of people, but its still science.

I give this thread a: :thumbsup:
 
Trinity College, Dublin experiment A similar experiment started at Trinity College, Dublin in October 1944 dripped on July 11th, 2013, marking the first time a pitch drop was successfully filmed.[8][9]

Is this pitch drop any different from the one in Dublin, which was already filmed?

What are they looking to prove or measure though? Frankly it seems like I do more meaningful science when I test my pool water.

Here's the video for that

The difference is that this one has been going on for longer and no one has seen it. Otherwise it's basically the same.

In terms of scientific value this is right up there with mold that's been growing on leftovers for 60 years. It's not revolutionary, but it's cool and has been going on for awhile.
 
They should setup two of them, and have a race. :biggrin: We'll know who wins in 10 years.

I think I heard of this before actually, sounds interesting. It's neat to think of a substance that takes that long to formulate a drop, but yet actually does formulate one and is not just a solid that does not move.
