#7wow there was a beautiful video. I like at the beginning how he explains how difficult it was to actually create this experiment, so I could understand how important this actually was. Also that it hasn't been done in like 40 years or whatever.

#83 years is a long time. I appreciate that people like this exist.

Him and his family are truly role models for how I want to be when I grow up. Easily one of my favorite creators.
I mean, look at this! https://twitter.com/smartereveryday/status/10084779939482828...

#10The uncut video made it sound like a motivation for replicating the research was to see if the number of secondary vortices were a function of the velocity; however, it's not clear if that was ever determined.
Hopefully these videos and the specially built machine helps additional scientists to study this effect and come up with more answers and conclusions about what's going on here, as it still seems largely shrouded in mystery.
