I just stumbled across this video, and it’s amazing! It may be physics, but most home cooks will recognize this weird phenomenon. 😀

Huh! I am such not a science or math or biology wizard. But I envy those who are!

Trust me, Pam, what I know about physics or math could fit on the head of a pin! But some of this stuff…it makes me wish I could start over and learn. 😀

Yes, me too. I thought I had no aptitude for it when a girl (probably because we girls were taught it was a “boy” thing. Then I began to read Madeleine L’Engle’s journals and books and realized that we can combine physics and spirituality and the “humanness” of our characters in amazing ways. [Madeleine L’Engle was an American writer of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and young adult fiction, including A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels: A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. Her works reflect both her Christian faith and her strong interest in modern science. Wikipedia ]

-sigh- I think we were conditioned the same way. Biology was ‘acceptable’ but I refused to get interested in physics and math. Then as a mature age student [late 20’s] I started a behavioural psychology course and discovered that I rather liked statistics…and I was good at it. Who knew? Now I can’t help wondering what might have happened if nice girls did math?

Good news: My daughter majored in science in college and teaches 6th grade science. The girl students are enthralled!! And my granddaughter is in honors math. THERE IS HOPE!! 🙂

How cool was this? I love how a curious mind takes something ordinary and investigates…..and ends up with a pinball maze, as well as, I am sure, lots of other applications.

Totally agree. 😀 I wish I had a mind like those grad students, but at least I can enjoy /their/ achievements.

I wonder how big you could scale it up? Could large quantities of water be moved without a pump mechanism of some sort? Hmm … must think thoughts. 🙂

No idea, Widds, but a fascinating question. I suspect though that you’d spend more energy heating the necessary surfaces than you’d spend on a conventional pump. Unless it were all solar driven or something…

Wow. That was so cool, Andrea Yes, I’ve seen the simple example of this in the kitchen, but who knew that water would speed uphill?? Science is amazing. This world is amazing. Thanks for sharing that.
