Unsolved problems in physics: What causes the apparent residual Sunward acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft?
After the diet coke and mentos wave, there seems to be – may be – a new physics hype on youtube – namely the cornstarch and resonance monsters. This video is particular charming.
Remarks:
-I am not sure – but the origin of this goes probably back to this scientific video of the Center for nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Austin.
-the physics is connected to an earlier post called resonance rice and it is actually also a bit related to this earlier reported experiment of a macroscopic double slit experiment.
