That makes no sense.

CGI?

The guy is laughing as 100's of people try this at home.

Shop, shop, shopping.

LOL, anyone who believes that is real is damned fool.

Nice youtube quote: "This looks shooped... I can tell from THE FUCKING LAWS OF PHYSICS."

 

[shocksyde]

Not to mention his other videos are of his 3D models... hahahaha

 

[Born2bwire]

Haha.

The first part reminds me one of Feynman's anecdotes. He asked for a glass of water at a diner and put the waitress' tip in the water and inverted the glass onto the table.

 

[BongoBee]

Hahaha, totally agreeing with you shocksyde! Funny but yeah, never, not a chance.

it's obviously jello.

Since water is a fluid, and spinning would cause it to expand outward and descend toward the source of gravity. There is no way this would work.

I came here to post that...

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

To make it work you have to type "format C:" from the start menu. everyone knows this.

Durrr, you spin the cup, not the water. Since the water has inertia, it doesn't spin with the cup. Spinning the cup results in breaking the adhesion between the water molecules and the cup. Lift the cup quickly enough and surface tension holds the entire thing together, although it won't keep its form forever.

Seriously, haven't you guys ever seen the slo-motion videos of water balloons popping?

You can see that the water keeps its shape as a water balloon as it falls through the air. When it pops, the rapid movement of the latex breaks the adhesive bonds without disrupting the surface tension of the water.

I tried this in my kitchen with the cup. It's really cool when you get it to work. It took me 3 tries before I was successful, so don't give up too quickly! Give it a try!
