@vt.physics: The Slowest Experiment Ever Performed: The Pitch Drop The pitch drop experiment is one of the longest-running laboratory experiments in history, designed to demonstrate the extremely high viscosity of pitch, a substance that appears solid but is actually a very slow-flowing liquid. First set up in 1927 by physicist Thomas Parnell at the University of Queensland, the experiment involves a funnel filled with pitch that gradually forms and releases drops over the course of many years, with each drop taking roughly a decade to fall. The setup highlights how everyday intuition about solids and liquids can be misleading, revealing that some materials flow so slowly that their motion is imperceptible without long-term observation. It continues to run today, serving as a striking reminder of both the strange behavior of materials and the patience sometimes required in scientific inquiry. #science #physics #materialscience #facts #history

Pnut ,puffy ,snowy, mochi hams :

Wait a sec how did he pour it then

Kevin :

so its basically non newtonian fluid but on slow mo

duck :

pitch got drip !! 🗣️🗣️

🧟‍♀️ :

Wait so how did he pour it into the thing

ghøst._ :

damn. Can't even focused when someone who is explaining the video is cute😌

rxm.void06 :

Wouldn’t that just be erosion from gravity

Kevin 🇬🇧🇹🇭 :

Glass forms ripples if the window doesn't get broken first. That's because glass is a much slower flowing liquid than this stuff.

Critical Meltdown :

Lookup machine with concrete

Ouija Spiritheart :

is it non newtonian?

Teyo :

That’s crazy to think abaout

PJgotrizz :

Eleven

bee :

just speed it up

Rader Raph :

you are so beautiful

BOGART THE EXPLORER :

naw am old from the future naww💀

PortLife :

so it have a very low melting temperature.

Ohma Zio :

if I remember correctly some people actually gamble when this thing would make its next drop

Mel060385 :

No I am watching a beautiful lady explains.

sf :

Early

TheMandrusMan™ :

Same with glass, just way thicker

Dr 𖣂ׁ Cade :

Can I eat it?

Senna :

Backpfeifengesicht she is

zoë newell :
