- Taikun, on 10/27/2008, -10/+295Now I kind of wish my computer didn't have a sound card.
- acegi, on 10/27/2008, -19/+246as fake as your mom's virginity.
do your research people. they have marbles in there. - westinfunk, on 10/27/2008, -9/+224oops, i seemed to have misplaced my calcium bicarbonate.
- ModernGeek, on 10/27/2008, -4/+215You go back into time.
- Fedaykin311, on 10/27/2008, -2/+168HA! What a joke. Yes, somehow an instant chemical reaction happens with the air and creates perfect spheres, but only if it's *really* in contact with the air, not in a plastic dish or cup!
- rayzha, on 10/27/2008, -3/+146Watch it give that guy cancer.
- imacmike, on 10/27/2008, -0/+141Not science, WITCHCRAFT!
Burn it! - Cuongfu, on 10/27/2008, -5/+124Anyone else notice that he spilled the spoon into the pot when he was to boil the liquid ?
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -24/+141FAKE
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -11/+125Wonder what would happen if you put the liquid in a water gun?
- muffcakes, on 10/27/2008, -1/+110is this real - it looks hoaxy?
- ophello, on 10/27/2008, -8/+110Right. Household ingredients indeed: "all you need is syrup, a can opener, and an old shoe! OH WAIT...AND an ounce of depleted uranium".
give me an experiment I can do with whats really under my sink please.
Cool results, nonetheless. Id love to try this. - godphase3, on 10/27/2008, -2/+102But I want to believe!
- NeoNcP, on 10/27/2008, -15/+112ridiculous text, but cool results
- abajaj2280, on 10/27/2008, -1/+932:32
wtf is with that ball that fell out? - TheStrongForce, on 10/27/2008, -18/+104Congrats, you all haven't taken organic chemistry "Polar habililty" my ass). This is a load of *****.
In order for things to phase transition, IE liquid to solid, work needs to be done on them. This means a transfer of energy into the system. This is not occurring.
Another way to disprove this is that it is shown as a "reversible thermodynamic cycle", meaning that it it can be done infinitely many times back and forth (from water to marble). Nothing is purely reversible, unless this guy has broken physics. Once again disproving this. Please don't be quick to jump on the science bandwagon without asking WHY?! first. Didn't Bill Nye educate you better than that?? - kometes, on 10/27/2008, -8/+92That's actually pretty cool, and it seems very easy to fake.
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -33/+111i'd put the balls on my face
- Fedaykin311, on 10/27/2008, -0/+75The guy was losing his marbles...
literally.. - bmacs, on 10/27/2008, -2/+75Why the crap is everybody believing this is real? WTF happened to Digg? What has happened to the world??
- Adelhas, on 10/27/2008, -2/+74You get WATERA. Put it into a water cannon, and you get WATERAGA.
- tkilgore04, on 10/27/2008, -2/+70Oh god... I actually think his guy is correct. Especially since he explains the process having something to do with polar hability. Polar hability.. what the hell is that?
- greencandy, on 10/27/2008, -13/+73that's what she said.
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -2/+62You just left the door wide open, didn't you?
- pacokorn77, on 10/27/2008, -2/+61Ya wanna cite Wikipedia on that one?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_bicarbonate
Very first sentence. - qber, on 10/27/2008, -1/+59Fake.
Mixing sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with acetic acid (vinegar) to make sodium acetate, ok. Vinegar is only 5% acetic acid though, so you won't be getting much sodium acetate unless you keep boiling down and concentrating the solution.
Then you add "calcium bicarbonate" (doesn't exist in solid form and certainly isn't something you can find in the average kitchen) to the formerly sodium acetate but now "calcium acetate" solution you just made? Where did the calcium come from?
It's IODIZED salt, not IONIZED salt.
Wtf is "polar hability"? If this phenomenon happens when the liquid comes in contact with air, why does the surface of the liquid look normal? Looks like he has a bunch of marbles or gel balls or something in water and is just playing us for fools.
If the point of this video was to expose science illiteracy in the general public, well played. - jehanr, on 10/27/2008, -0/+57Rookie mistake. Chalk it up to experience.
- ennio, on 10/27/2008, -0/+57I too wonder about that rogue ball and it's whereabouts...
- Alphabet, on 10/27/2008, -4/+53wtf?
Baking soda + vinegar makes a foamy solution. Adding sodium bicarbonate and NaCL won't do anything.
Why are the balls perfectly round? If he's moving it out into the air, then it shouldn't be perfectly round. There is no way it has enough force to pull itself into a perfectly round ball.
Does a chemical reaction occur when it touches the air? Because when the balls go back into the water, it should liquify again.
Why is the surface of the water not solid?
Why are all the balls the same size? You would expect some balls to be bigger and some to be smaller.
Burying this for inaccuracy because this looks fake. I wouldn't be surprised that those were glass balls. - Gnar04, on 10/27/2008, -1/+48yeah, the back door
- Cashmoney504, on 10/27/2008, -12/+59Vinager what's that?
- kingfoot, on 10/27/2008, -0/+45approx. 2:20 in; look very, very close at the liquid in the container as he moves his hand through it, you can make out detail enough to see the thing is full of balls, and the liquid is just a ploy.
fake, but cool idea. wish it could be real. - Polonium210, on 10/27/2008, -9/+52Complete and total crap. Most of that stuff when mixed will react (even if it does react).
Come on people, baking soda and vinegar? Seriously now. We all took elementary science to know what those do to each other. - slifty, on 10/27/2008, -6/+48OMG its ice nine
- MeatPlow, on 10/27/2008, -4/+46Damn, he's on to us. We all haven't taken organic chemistry.
- fakekevinrose, on 10/27/2008, -0/+42dugg for honesty
- BlueTunicLink, on 10/27/2008, -1/+42yeah, all you have to do is find a liquid with the same index of refraction as some glass marbles and you're done!
http://gr5.org/index_of_refraction/ - tedrock, on 10/27/2008, -3/+411000+ diggs on a fake video. sad people.
- acegi, on 10/27/2008, -3/+40first of all, there's no such thing as polar hability, and you're a retard to believe anyone who doesn't know how to use the word 'loose' and 'lose'.
- whataSAMF, on 11/28/2008, -6/+42You are then able to divide by zero
- dborgir, on 10/27/2008, -2/+35it's slang for vagina
- kingmanic, on 10/27/2008, -0/+32Taste like hoax, feels like hoax, looks like hoax, smells like hoax. . .
- MeatPlow, on 10/27/2008, -2/+34What's the big deal? It ain't rocket surgery.
- identityxcrysis, on 10/27/2008, -1/+32I'm glad mine has a volume knob!
- expert01, on 10/27/2008, -1/+31According to the State of California, all of them.
- dvsbastard, on 10/27/2008, -4/+33Your mum doesn't seem to mind it...
- Alphabet, on 10/27/2008, -0/+28You can undigg it if you go to your profile
- InfiniteNothing, on 10/27/2008, -6/+33Ionized salt :/ what the crap?
- ophello, on 10/27/2008, -7/+34Can somebody upload a version with clear, legible text and no rap music? That font sucked and I have no idea what amounts to use.
That ***** irritates me: some "filmmaker" vomits ***** typography all over their video and somehow get mad hits. - jmpeagle, on 10/27/2008, -2/+28it is fake, there are many explanations below as to why this is so
