- diktator279, on 12/13/2007, -13/+448So, lots of things penetrate glass: rocks, bricks...
- blynder, on 12/13/2007, -6/+278That's going on my list of things not to drink.
- nullx42, on 12/13/2007, -20/+229In the palm of chuck norris' fist
- Dokument, on 12/13/2007, -27/+206Also it doesnt penetrate glass. it just defies gravity.
- davymac, on 12/13/2007, -26/+188penetrates glass? i thought they said it went around it..
- HenkPoley, on 12/13/2007, -6/+122It doesn't penetrate glass. It penetrates a ceramic. Which is more porous than glass.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -2/+99science rules.
- jonohull, on 12/13/2007, -0/+88Me too. That video was too short. I would like to know more.
- manicleek, on 12/13/2007, -0/+87The first beaker had a slightly porus bottom that could hold normal fluids, but superfluids soaked through. The second beaker had the superfluid climbing up its walls and down the outside of the glass.
- Magnj, on 12/13/2007, -3/+88just
- ferrariman60, on 12/13/2007, -1/+82ZERO VISCOSITY?!?!?!! WHAT!!! That is awesome. Crazy stuff.
- Magnj, on 12/13/2007, -1/+79I'll go out on a limb and suggest that it is probably not generally stored at 2 degrees above absolute zero, and that this "problem" only arises when scientists want to play.
- theMurdocVolta, on 12/13/2007, -25/+100Inaccurate: It doesn't actually penetrate the glass
Yet its still pretty damn fascinating. - mishsquish, on 12/13/2007, -7/+77Well isn't glass just an inferior solid incapable of holding superior fluids?!
- akkibaba, on 12/13/2007, -1/+64How exactly does this wonderful video qualify as "spam"?
- iPissExcellence, on 12/13/2007, -11/+73in timberlake
- ozid, on 12/13/2007, -1/+60I'm sure liquid nitrogen would be a great lube too for about .00^9999 of a second. Then your pen0r shatters and cuts through vagina like Reality TV through the souls of Americans.
- arcooke, on 12/13/2007, -1/+59This video cut off way too early..
- thebrawl, on 12/13/2007, -10/+65is lame
- failsafex, on 12/13/2007, -20/+73that's what she said
- FinalSight, on 12/13/2007, -3/+55Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill...
- patho, on 12/13/2007, -11/+60Buried, this story is superfluous.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -0/+47Anyone know what the name of the documentary is? I would like to watch the whole thing.
- EndersGame, on 12/13/2007, -0/+47Either way the glass loses.
- RedRummy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+46it flows _through_ porous ceramic (unglazed glass) but can also flow over the rim.
- maja742, on 12/13/2007, -0/+46i need more of that video
- dn11, on 12/13/2007, -1/+47oh noes! you are being buried at their command!
- Dylson, on 12/13/2007, -5/+48I dugg you down because you responded to it.
- Pelapp, on 12/13/2007, -1/+435min.com is doing a suspiciously good job of getting on the frontpage of Digg almost everyday...
- Dokument, on 12/13/2007, -7/+43so what do they keep it in?
- daliminator, on 12/13/2007, -5/+39THE FIST THAT KILLS YOU.
- karlhouser, on 12/13/2007, -2/+35Gooooooooooooooo SCIENCE!
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -1/+34What part of a liquid with a viscosity of 0 penetrating a porous container do you not understand?
- damndj, on 12/13/2007, -1/+33but gets more chicks than you.
- drakia, on 12/13/2007, -0/+31I know this'll probably sound stupid. But how did they get it to almost absolute zero so quickly?
- Extraneous, on 12/13/2007, -0/+29Inertia is a property of matter!
- trogdoor, on 12/13/2007, -0/+28The first part of the entire documentary on youtube ( follow the links to the rest ):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BntI1S7Tx8 - emalen, on 12/13/2007, -0/+28It's a gun law joke. Jeez people.
- Frostman3D, on 12/13/2007, -2/+29Can you imagine taking a super piss?
- Havs, on 12/13/2007, -0/+27Evaporation is a phase change. The resultant energy loss produces a cooling effect. Just like how sweat cools you when it evaporates.
- Nimid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+25http://youtube.com/watch?v=9BntI1S7Tx8&feature=rel ...
- jimmick, on 12/13/2007, -7/+32No, bricks don't penetrate glass
People with bricks penetrate glass - CitizenNorth, on 12/13/2007, -0/+25It's a BBC documentary called Absolute Zero
- j4200, on 12/13/2007, -0/+24Right. It flows through porous ceramic. Though it does not defy gravity. It is gravity combined with the siphon effect that leads super fluids over the rim of their containers. These are usually also in cases of 0 atmospheric pressure since it is near absolute zero temperatures.
- bitcloud, on 12/13/2007, -1/+25apparently youtube is the only video site allowed...
suck on that corporate teet archie... suck it down... watch that revenue supermilk permeate your brain... - ozid, on 12/13/2007, -3/+27Does ceramic = glass? (seriously)
I'm under the impression that the bottom of the beaker and the beaker itself are two different pieces... but thats cool none-the-less. - ukblacknight, on 12/13/2007, -2/+25fail. you're implying people go through the glass with the brick.
- DarkTranquility, on 12/13/2007, -1/+24That was ***** awesome... 0% viscosity ...I thought it was impossible, guess I was wrong.
- noodless, on 12/13/2007, -2/+24Theyre spammers, i found these dummy accounts:

http://digg.com/users/bennyshoham - SenatorPenguin, on 12/13/2007, -2/+24They normally don't store it in superfluid form, but the only way to contain it is inside a completely sealed glass or nonporous container.
