Since 1930 , there has been a scientific discipline experiment that basically does nothing . Seriously . scientist look out as a solid — that ’s actually a liquid 230 billion times more viscous than water — dribble down a glass container . But that take time . A great deal of clip with a whole batch of nothing . For the past 84 eld , the blob of old salt has only dripped 8 meter . It finally dribble the ninth time .
The rosin calculate like a firm that can even go bad , but it ’s actually a liquidity .
It ’s exciting ! The world ’s longest science experiment lastly had something find to it ! The last time the blob dripped was 13 years ago !

Sadly though , the scientist who was in kick of the experiment host at the University of Queensland in Brisbane , Australia had passed away last year before he could see it dribble this 9th prison term . What ’s big , Professor John Mainstone had never seen the pitch drop curtain even before he died . He missed the preceding 5 drops completely ( the first 3 drops occurred when the creator of the experimentation , Professor Thomas Parnell , was in commission of it ) which means he never saw his experiment go through . turd luck .
If you want to see the tar drop at its current state , you could headhere . For a timelapse of the drop that takes place over 2 years , you could watch it below .
