This man's children would always win every science fair they participate in

This guy is an atom away from becoming a magician.

Step 1. This man shows something that seems impossible, or just crazy. Step 2. My mind is broken. Step 3. He proceeds to explain the science behind it. Step 4. I fully understand how it works. Step 5. My mind is still broken. Step 6. I start watching another one of his videos.

0:14 me on holiday vs. me on school days

After reaching some speed, the inner ball would be stuck to the outer one because of the centrifugal force. That transition could be interesting.
-
This was a spectacular use of COG manipulation. Good one James
-
You present so many science facts that we would have never known, Thank You so much! 🙂
-
I would love to see a race between jars filled to different amounts.
-
I remember this experiment being done by Veritasium a long ago, very nice to see it appear again and be explained in another way by you
-
Some sort of viscous liquid was my first suspicion! Kinda surprised you didn't mention that the slow ball's speed would be temperature dependent when molasses was used.
-
Fill it with pitch and it'll REALLY be the world's slowest ball, likely taking decades to get to the bottom (search the pitch experiment)
-
Imagine doing this same setup with everything transparent.. Like the outer ball is transparent, the fluid inside is transparent.. 🤩
-
He always has the weirdest things on earth in his hands
-
When I first saw the ball rolling so slowly I initially thought you had filled it with honey, but I guess molasses is a bit similar. I still like your videos though and hope you keep making more. 👍
-
0:45 I don’t appreciate you sneaking a video of me getting out of bed in the morning.
-
I'm going to make one for my niece to hopefully encourage her to ask questions and be curious about why things are the way they are. Great job with this! Excited for this project :)
-
before you showed us that it was molasses inside I thought it was a thick liquid in side there BUT there were fins sticking up into the liquid (on the inside)..... I wonder if that would affect its speed anymore than without them? very cool :)
-
I didn’t expect the molasses but I did think there had to be another ball inside
-
Your work is amazing, thank you so much!! I know that maybe things are not the greatest, but I really really wish this channel all the success and longevity
-
Kalle- Thank You for all you do. From this year to the next please keep doing it, you are truly one of a kind!
