Video here.

Not all girls are bad at math and physics - and not guilty at the same time.

What was the video about again ? ;-P

[SpaceBar]

Self sustaining vortices have a number of deep physical interpretations beyond that of just spinning pockets of water.

Very interesting.

[Bullish]

I’d like to play with her vortex.

Our political system is caught in a vortex - with DEMS and GOP spinning around accomplishing nothing!

Nice to see simple joy and wonder over the physics of God’s creation. It’s refreshing. Thank you.

That works great in a pool but a 1.6 gallon/flush toilet still needs two “vortices” to evacuate the bowl.

Yes! Continue the videos, but henceforth the uniform of the day will be a bikini. We must eliminate any possibility that the wet suit skews the data. (Cough-cough).

[Tucker39]

You’re to be commended for your interest in scientific research. (Snicker-snort).

Thanks for posting this. I love learning about physics in a way that this girl can grasp, i.e., without the math. :)

I can tell that the young woman in the video is a natural teacher. Good for her for making science knowledge accessible.

Nice find!

Fascinating fun!
