"Held breath during this entire video."
"I know this is just basic physics but why did I just learn this today?"
"When I was a kid, our teachers taught us to do this when mixing things in our science labs so that they wouldn't spill. Does anyone know what those glass rods are called??"
"So this works because liquids need something solid to control their shape. The molecules want to move with a solid. That's why when you pour from a bowl you'll often get the liquid running back onto your hand. Science is so cool!"
