Longest Experiment on Earth
Do you think it takes too long to close escrow? For your clients to make up their mind? Or what about for the bank to approve a short sale? Too long? Well here is something that will make it seem like a very short period of time. Participate in this experiment and you will be convinced.....
What would you think of as being the longest experiment you have ever conducted? In my chemistry class, there were the titration experiments. In another class, there was a green house experiment that lasted several weeks and that one was about the longest. But there is an experiment I am sure you have never heard of and has been going for a few generations!
It all started in 1927 when the first Professor of Physics at UQ, Professor Thomas Parnell, began an experiment to find out whether or not solids were actually very slow moving liquids as well as being a solid. I know for a fact that glass is actually a very viscous liquid.... If you measure the thickness of an old glass window, it will be thicker at the bottom of the window than at the top due to it flowing at a very slow rate of speed. But that is not THE experiment I am referring to.
The one I am referring to is one that you can actually participate in. It requires you to be logged into this web cam and observing the experiment in action... slow motion action that is. There is a liquid that has dropped only eight times since the start of the experiment and it is about to drop again. No one has actually seen it drop however. If you are logged into this web cam when it drops, you will be listed in the record book as having been the only one to have actually seen it drop. You will get to record your observations and the results will go down in history. Are you ready? Try it a few times a day. Who knows, you may be part of something really big! This thing is predicted to drop within the next week! This could be something you can do even while your bank is making up their mind on that short sale approval :)
It Dropped last night!
