But media dishonesty is hard for me to take and others feel the same way. jan douglas, jacksonville, florida, describing a conservative commentator. i would be curious to see if they describe anyone as liberal in the listings at comcast. let me know. i've been taking the quizzes as a physics professor i thought i would get them all right. they're for everyone, not just premium members. you're right they're challenging, they're fun. tim from maryland killing patton 7,000 reviews. kelg killing jesus, 9,000. thanks for keeping an eye on that for us. mr.

Formed at the end of the funnel, ever so slowly. and that drop finally fell and dripped out eight years later, in 1938. but here is the tragedy, nobody was watching when it happened. the experiment is still running. and in the last 83 years on the eight drops of tar pitch -- only eight drops of tar pitch have formed in the funnel. and not one person has been watching when the drop formed. not one time has anybody been in the room with their eyes fixed on the pitch at the right moment when it happened. in fact, for the most recent drip in november 2000, there was even a video camera trained on ...

Even a video camera trained on the experiment but something went wrong with the camera and they missed it. the camera was there and they -- but the so-called pitch drop experiment is not the only one going on in the world. besides australia, there is another one going on in the world. in 1974, a physics professor decided to try it, let it drip for 60 years, just like in australia nobody was watching, but the key moment until it actually dripped, until now. >> the scientists noticed a drip was forming, and they set up a web camera to film it. and last thursday as this shows, the drip finally dr...

Okay, we have not done this in a long time, this is great. this is a funnel full of a substance called "pitch." tar pitch, super thick, almost solid goo. and what you are looking at here is a live camera trained on this goo 24/7. and people have been watching this live feed of this thing full of goo for years, for science. this is the oldest continually running laboratory experiment in the world. in 1927, a physics professor heated up this goo, until it melted a little bit, poured it into a funnel, put a beaker into the funnel and let the thing harden back up for three years. later, he opened ...
