Well, I had no idea what that was about from the post, but checked it out anyway. Pretty neat!

The current economy and financial system is an analogy to the Prince Rupert drop.

One false move and the entire thing blows.

I’ve been following Smarter Every Day Minute Physics and Veritasium on YouTube for a while now. I suggest everyone give Smarter Every Day a go first because they often use lots of weapons for physics experiments. The Veritasium guy is a liberal, but his science videos are excellent.

Thanks, not only is this video cool…

…but I learned a life skill by watching the same guy's video on "Poop Splash Elimination".

It is particularly amazing to watch at 1080P!

Being able to calculate the failure front velocity of a Prince Rupert's drop is a pretty big deal. For years this was a scientific mystery.

Indeed. I have been lying awake at nights, wondering about that failure front velocity. Even though I have never heard of a Prince Rupert's drop until this minute, I wondered.

Now to watch the video and learn, at last, what a Prince Rupert's drop is.
