November 4: Mystery of Prince Rupert’s Drop at 130,000 fps – Smarter Every Day 86

Disclaimers

This blog is designed to highlight videos (mostly viewable on YouTube) that spark creativity, discuss the arts and sciences, or just provide a new image of the world. I select my themes at random, based on whim.

Because of the fickle nature of YouTube, some of these links are dead. I am sorry about that. Use the title of the entry to search for another version of the video. If you live in the US, chances are you can blame copyright infringement.

With a few notable exceptions, all rights belong to the original posters. Respect their copyright and link to them or to this blog. Copying content sucks.

Commenting rules:
1. ALL comments are screened. I reserve the right to delete comments at whim.
2. Respect my authority. My blog, my rules.
3. When this stops being fun to maintain, I take a break. That happens sometimes. Let me know you are reading: Subscribe via RSS!
Let me know about dead links. I prefer to fix them, if I can.
