- sjs 17y agoAt first 10min seemed like too long, but it managed to stay interesting the whole time. Simply amazing, I can't think of any other words for it. Everything looks like a liquid.
- fbu 17y agoEver heard of the Deborah Number ? The name comes frome the bible : "The mountains flowed before the Lord" in a song by prophetess Deborah recorded in the Bible (Judges 5:5) It's actually used in rheology to describe if a materials acts more like a liquid or a solid. Even mountains acts like liquid at a big enough time scale :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_number

- noelchurchill 17y agoI had seen this before too but I liked watching it again.
- mscarborough 17y agoInteresting at first, but after a couple minutes of video without any kind of explanation of what the bullets were actually doing, this got boring quick. With such visually compelling frames, why not throw a popover that provides some context for those of us without physics degrees?
- ComputerGuru 17y agoActually, what put me off was that they didn't even at least tell us what material it was striking.
- char 17y agoThis was really cool to watch. However, I wish there was information on the properties of each of the substances being bombarded with bullets. I could make reasonable guesses as to what some of them were, but does anyone know if this is available anywhere?
- labria 17y agoInteresting fact: the light flickering is due to the current alterations in the light bulb.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoThat was pretty cool, but I kept skipping forward 30 seconds, to see all of the effects without taking 10 minutes. I really enjoy spending time at the shooting range (yeah, it is an Arizona thing :-), so the video gave me an interesting perspective.
