The University of Queensland's Faculty of Science is recognised as a powerhouse for some of the world’s leading scientists, teachers, science programs and commercial outcomes.
The Faculty of Science unites the disciplines of agriculture and animals, biomedical and biological sciences, chemistry, earth sciences, food sciences, geography, marine science, maths and physics, planning, the environment and veterinary science.
With strong links between the enabling and applied sciences, UQ researchers and graduates are working on a wide range of groundbreaking projects from the molecular characterisation of drug resistant bacteria that affect piglets through to finding better treatments for illness and rehabilitation of the environment.
Ranked in the top 1% of universities in the world, UQ offers one of the widest choices of science disciplines in Australia.
The guy who set this in motion only lived to see two of the 9 drops fall in his lifetime. In my 30 year lifetime it's only dropped twice. Imaging all the world events that have transpired while this experement has been in progress, is crazy. Rise of facism is europe and a world war A cold war Men walking on the moon Vietnam war the civil rights movement the fall of the berlin wall wars on terror Really puts things in perspective.
@@avatarxs9377 but then what happens to these crystals and metals if they reach the temperature needed for them to melt? dont they melt? do the crystals stay in melty thing? i dont think so
@@hunorendrevizi1483 True, it all comes down to temperature, but not every material has the same characteristics when it comes to melting. Some materials melt instantly after reaching that point, while others, like pitch, have a very smooth transition. Pitch gradually decreases in viscosity, leading from a solid state at very low temperatures to a more fluid state.
@@avatarxs9377 so the point here was to prove it was liquid at room temperature? and to measure how long it takes to drip from an arbitrarily sized hole? ive been slapped for creating more useful things than that honestly..
What is the point of this experiment I'm running an extremely long experiment to prove a theory people will put time money and effort into pointless things when there are more important issues to address and this is an example of that ....smh
The point is to determine the viscosity of the pitch. They had ti wait 73 years from 1927 to 2000 to have enough data to do so. The man who started the experiment died in 1948.
