The Stable Kaye Effect

Posted in Physics by thejimmyg on the April 19th, 2007

I’ve just come across this video on YouTube of leaping shampoo. According to Wikipedia the effect was discovered by a British Physicist names Alan Kaye. I’m naturally quite suspicious of this sort of effect and although I couldn’t replicate it myself using Herbal Essences there does appear to be a research paper to accompany the video.

Water on Enceladus

Posted in Physics by thejimmyg on the May 12th, 2005

Scientists have discovered water vapour erupting from the surface of Enceladus, a 500 km wide moon of Saturn. We knew that there was activity which made the south pole hotter than expected, perhaps due to radioactive as well as tidal heating but the discovery of liquid water on another object in our solar system substantially increases the chances that life might exist somewhere in the universe.
