Neat-O!

Neatorama has a posting today of the 5 videos you have to see from Videosift, a site that, at least theoretically, sifts through the videos on YouTube and gets rid of all the crap. Of the top 5 that Neatorama claims you need to see I am passing on only one of them- A NASA experiment involving space and a sphere of water. I could explain how mesmerizing it is to watch waves travel back and forth through the sphere, or the reaction when Alka Seltzer is added to it, but I really wouldn’t be able to get the idea across which is why I have embedded the video. While this is all terribly fascinating it does raise the question: Why is NASA doing this? What purpose does it actually serve to see how Alka-Seltzer reacts with water in space? Anyway, try not to ponder that too much while you watch the video (there is another similar video you can dig around for that is just clips of Alka-Seltzer being introduced to a sphere of water in space).
