Chemical engineer breaks down the science behind the βimpossibleβ ice cream transfer trick
This guy is so good at doing illustrative experiments with the weirdest & coolest stuff... π

Well, it's the trick question part that can trip you up, dunno if that has anything to do with being a genius π I'm pretty stupid, but I actually got the physics right in my guess & still guessed wrong - because I'm also easy to trick π
- and because I'm such a good host I will let my readers guess for themselves & put my guess & the trick in the comments π
Not only is this really interesting - it's also kind-of mindblowing that we only found out that liquids don't splash in a vacuum *in 2005*! π€―
I love how good #TheActionLab is at explaining concepts so bleeding-edge that #science still doesn't fully have a handle on them π The #Mythbusters "Giant Newton's Cradle" experiment revealed that it isn't just a matter of momentum but TAL's shockwave illustration really adds to the understanding of this seemingly simple, but really very complex system.
I also love that a "bedroom production value" channel like this has almost 5 million subscribers π
I would be remiss in my nerd duties if I didn't say something like "Larval T-1000" ππ€―
