My Mood:  | Experiments on water in zero Gs Video of some experiments conducted on the International Space Station on the behavior of water in zero gravity. It's pretty interesting. Even if you're not a science type, it's really pretty to look at!

| You can experiment with droplets of water bouncing off each other in slow motion on earth, by shooting them at an extremely shallow angle across the surface of very clean water. You get a few individual droplets skimming across the surface on a thin layer of air for many seconds, and of you direct the jets towards each other you can create quite large droplets that last long enough to bounce off each other and merge. |

My Mood:  SLShopper Ads: 3 SL Join Date: 25 July 2004   | The surface at the anitpodal points of some of the larger impact craters in the solar system have suffered almost as much disruption as the surface of the impact points themselves. I think that first video is really good at illustrating - with the shock waves passing through the sphere to the opposite side - how that disruption comes about. |
