water is not H2O as two gases cannot makr a liquid and there is NO evidence oxygen is even in water! Science fooling people yet again, indoctrinating people with nonsense! At least one kid got it right at 0.49 and even drew a drop of water rather than an assumed structure of no empirical substance!

Wow! People are well and truly demented! Where is the evidence that directly links the observations of the water flow to the rotation of the Earth? The only conclusion one can draw from this video is if one fills a pool up with water and leave it to stand for 24hrs the water is likely to rotate clockwise. The actual cause for this observation is open for debate as there is no evidence the Earth's rotation is the direct cause. If people think this demonstrates a rotating Earth, they must be well and truly demented!

if one forces the spinning wheel to precess faster it gets lighter! The trick's all in the motion! Notice also they don't show the 'weight' of the gyroscope on the scales in a stationary position so the video doesn't show you whether the information these guys are stating is true! In my opinion the spinning wheel and gyroscope get lighter as they'd feel lighter! Love to see some proof that tells me my opinion is wrong!

actually he gave the correct answer according to nature rather than the BS, delusionary story according to man!

you gotta love the title of this video - anti gravity wheel! i think gyroscopic wheel would have been better as there's no such thing as anti gravity! Anything that possesses anti-gravity should lift up, never to be seen again!

It's funny how people are trying to explain something they cannot explain. Nobody can even prove the existence of electrons!!! Nobody knows what electricity is so nobody can ever know how it works - all human beings do is study the effects of it.

the only reason why the objects hit the ground at same time was because they were dropped from a height that would achieve this result. Increase the height and the results will be much different in that the heavier object will hit the ground first! Objects do not fall at same rate!

science attempts to know the unknowable

This video is misleading imo because a burning candle releases carbon and its this that conducts any electricity; the flame is only the medium for the impurities to exist. As for using 20 or 10kv that's just a contrivance. Let's see it being done with 24volts then we can know for certain whether a flame conducts electricity like a piece of copper wire would.

After watching the first part of the video, the video ought be renamed 2 perplexing physics problems because the first one isn't a problem at all. Why the pressure inside the pop bottle remains the same when the bottle is still or shaken with cap closed is simply because the acid/alkali ingredients cannot produce anymore CO2 as an equilibrium state exists inside the bottle. Shaking the bottle frees up the acid/alkali ingredients from the stabilizers so they are able to mix better producing froth within the headspace. However opening the cap and releasing pressure causes disequilibrium within the bottle allowing the mixed acid/alkali to instantaneously produce the extra CO2 needed to force the drink out of the bottle - next problem haha! Oh and why paper straws cause fizz when they are inserted into a pop drink is simply because of the chemicals within the paper react with the acid/alkali ingredients of the drink! CO2 is always produced from an acid/alkali reaction!

It doesn't take a brainbox to work out that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. F*** knows how Galileo came to a different conclusion - oh that's because that was BS!! Next time drop them from a higher height there no one can dispute the same results.

what about proving beyond all doubt the earth is indeed a globe? It should be easy because this channel is only after the truth! (wait a minute - science doesn't concern itself with truth does it?) Oh dear!

@johnborton4522 people make lots of claims nobody doubts For example Charles is the current monarch of uk or Russia is at war with Ukraine. Lots of evidence but no doubt because everybody knows those kinds of claims can be verified to be true. So what of the shape of the earth? Surely because there exists a lot of doubt the evidence or much of it cannot be verified to truly support the claim. But you're telling me the globe has been proven beyond all doubt! Very odd. Imo the earth is not a globe for the main reason the evidence only supports the IDEA the earth is a globe. The earth being a globe is an untested hypothesis and nothing more. So when you state the earth is a globe has been proven beyond all doubt, to me you're misguided and have a very poor understanding of science and the natural world!

@johnborton4522 oh sorry I didn't realise the globe earth claim should appear in court and I overlooked the word reasonable! Tell me what is reasonable? How is reasonableness scientifically measured? You got this scientific claim that has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt but what constitutes reasonable doubt? What makes doubt reasonable and unreasonable in a scientific way? Your reply is ridiculous and emphasises my point because people like you don't want to wake up to realise in the real world the earth is not a globe!

i love the bit where he mentions co2! I'm still waiting to find actual evidence that co2 exists other than generally accepted 'givens'! Surprised these guys aren't telling people that eating faeces is good for your health! I guess if they did a lot of people won't be rushing to the supermarket and they'd lose MONEY!!

seems like a waste of time being taught this in university! they'd have students banging their heads against brick walls if they could convince them the banging would improve their brain power!

Either Veritasium's viewers must be getting dumb because his videos are getting ridiculous by the week or he's scraping the barrel for content! tut tut!
