Better than watching paint dry
August 12th, 2006
What could be better than finding out about one of the longest-running experiments of all time? Watching it in action of course! For the last 76 years, a blob of pitch (you know, the tar stuff) has been slowly dripping out of a funnel. You can now watch the Pitch Drop experiment live via webcam. No one has ever witnessed one of the drops (8 and counting!) fall, so perhaps you’ll be the first.
