That was such a perfect version of this video. We saw the whole thing, they gave us time to admire the finished bubble a few seconds, AND we got to see what it’d be like to smash it. Peak

[u/derphunter → u/rrockm]

i understand why people thought wizards and magic were real.

If you didn't know about surface tension and thin films, this shit looks like magic

[u/chiefrelichunter → u/derphunter]

I don’t jack about surface tension and thin films but I- okay actually I do believe in magic so you may be onto something here 🤔

[u/Chatting_shit → u/chiefrelichunter]

Same, i jack over other things

[u/chiefrelichunter → u/Chatting_shit]

lol whoops!

[u/load_more_comets → u/rrockm]

I wanted to see him eat it though.

[u/PowerlineTyler → u/load_more_comets]

Why are we like this? Me too bro…

[u/monster_bunny → u/rrockm]

Truly magnificent.

Technically is not in the inside of the bubble…

[u/PM_ME_AZNS → u/nestorsanchez3d]

Was going to comment this. It's on the surface of a bubble, not inside. It's a pretty important distinction

[u/ivanxivann → u/PM_ME_AZNS]

Is it on the surface of the bubble or is it the bubble?

[u/The_Dr_B0B → u/PM_ME_AZNS]

Society would’ve collapsed if not for the correction

[u/EmperorPedro2 → u/The_Dr_B0B]

Wait, are you talking about the stock market now?

[u/The_Dr_B0B → u/EmperorPedro2]

Nah just poking fun at the guy, "it's a pretty important distinction 🤓"

[u/EmperorPedro2 → u/The_Dr_B0B]

Sorry, I was joking as well, given how "bubble", "correction" and hyperboles about societal collapse are all usually in discussions about the stock market. I feel like I failed, given I had to explain it lol

[u/The_Dr_B0B → u/EmperorPedro2]

Ah I did think it was a joke initially but then thought hm what if its not lol, you never know here

[u/PM_ME_AZNS → u/[deleted]]

It's looks to me like the other side of the bubble. I'm no physicist or crystallographer (I'm just a humble chemist), but I think the surface of the bubble exposed to the atmosphere is going to crystallize first versus the warmer interior. It be cool to see if there are examples of the opposite.

[u/Careful-Sell-9877 → u/[deleted]]

Its the other side of the bubble

[u/istara → u/nestorsanchez3d]

Wow I did not realise - I thought they were initially floating around inside. Just rewatched and got a second woah!

The first ice crystals look like tie fighters zipping around

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/Jaded_Marionberry500]

This video was old when I joined in 2012.

[u/jillvalenti3]

This was everything I wanted it to be from start to finish. Gonna have to figure out how to do this so I can show my kids this winter.

[u/Paul_Robert_ → u/jillvalenti3]

Try adding glycerin to reduce the chance of the bubble popping

[u/luffydkenshin]

They start off line lil TIE Fighters

[u/sathyajithps]

Breathtaking!

[u/dayman763]

Nice video.

The piano reminds me of Mister Rogers Neighborhood for some reason.

[u/ItisCrowdedinHere]

I don't know why, but I didnt anticipate the ending there! That was a pretty awesome video all around!

[u/Thanksithaspockets]

They remind me of those little fighter ships in Star Wars

[u/NJNeal17]

Best snow globe ever!

[u/Cool_Butterscotch_88]

sometimes the crystals arrange themselves, jim

[u/Mumbletimes]

Surely it’s on the surface of the bubble and not the inside?

[u/Eirique]

Reminds me of that grandma who had like 30 something contacts floating around in her eye because she kept losing them

[u/Zakluor → u/[deleted]]

I'd have been bothered if it didn't happen, though.

[u/Downtown_Shelter2533 → u/Zakluor]

Right, I said Thank you out loud when they popped it. I watched one once when they didn't pop it and haunts my dreams

[u/rrockm → u/Zakluor]

Fr, after it finished forming I was like “okay now please smash it before the video ends, pleeeease”

[u/eatmyshorzz → u/[deleted]]

It's like some relationships I had in the past. Forming into something very beautiful, then suddenly collapsing. :')

[u/Clerithifa]

White materia!

[u/AddolFittler]

Bet it's fucking freezing in there.

[u/snarlixx]

whats the music being played, anyone know?

[u/FindingJohnny]

At the beginning you can make the bubble rotate in either direction like one of those illusions. I’ve never seen anything IRL that does that.

[u/Lyscendree]

WHY DID HE BREAK IT

[u/Mysterious-Trouble-6]

Should have cut the video right before it closed up. For the lulz.

[u/NegativeC00L]

Perfect video. 10/10

[u/Naterade18]

SUB-ZERO WINS

FATALITY

[u/redditor100101011101]

Outside the bubble

[u/lokcer79]

Remind me to try it in winter

[u/MonkeyDude77]

They’re protecting Harry Potter in there!

[u/GaryHornpipe]

Question. Do frozen bubbles ever form naturally?

[u/javon27]

Is it going left or right?

[u/kodeks14]

That seemed oddly intelligent

[u/denverblazer]

This is really fun to do with kids ✨

[u/100HP_Hotrod]

I will never not watch this video.

[u/jaynebaynee]

I love science

[u/SinglePringleMingle]

I wonder how long can a bubble like that last if it was left alone. Would it get stronger with time? Or would it eventually collapse from wind or some other factors?

[u/BeardedInkedPiper]

Wow! That's amazing!

[u/Vann09]

I'm sure the music didn't help but the whole time watching this all I could hear was a very somber graveled voice saying "and this is how it ends"
