(±0.2 Billion Years.)

Hello and welcome to my blog about my life (science) and whatever else takes my fancy (hint: it's more science). You may call me Dougal and I'm 19 Earth years old, currently double majoring in physics and chemistry in New Zealand. In reality I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm going to do though so you'll find a little bit of everything.

Water Bending Made Easy
Just a quick post outlining a fairly simple experiment I’m sure many of you know. The above image involves no trickery yet we clearly see water bending around the comb. How does this work? The trick lies in good old fashioned static electricity: due to water’s polarity the positive charge becomes attracted to the negative charge of the comb (or vice versa) causing the stream to bend towards it. Balloons also work fairly well so go and have a try. — Water Bending Made Easy
