    Okay, I'm convinced it's the same sink, but how do we know it's the same Matt? Matt was never marked like the sink was.

      Ae Norist It might be true. Otherwise he might have tried to explain the geometry of a sink to make it more about the mathematics. It might have also been to proove to himself that he can top the results of the veritasium and smartereveryday collab. But you never know exactly, what matt parker thought to himself before travelling with a sink. Anyways, it is a great effort, that I can appreciate.

      Scripting, rehearsals, timing.
      The only unpredictable result in this video was the final "pouring from the middle" experiment, where the discussion about the result was very small, since past Matt couldn't know what future Matt got. The rest of this was most likely closely timed during multiple attempts at conducting this experiment and rehearsing the lines. It is still super impressive though. A lot of work, time, and effort went into this, and the execution is, as far as I could tell, flawless.

    At the start, about 3 seconds in I was thinking of the Veritasium and Smarter Every Day videos, and Ironically when I came to New Zealand in 1988 one of the first things my father did was fill up the bathtub with water, leave it to sit for 2 days, pour in some food colouring and watch it drain out. Seemed really weird to me but he was quite excited. Must be a Parker thing...

    Actually loled the whole video. It is so dumb, but so hillarious! And I'm really glad you put it up, not only because of the jokes nor because of all the effort (and such great sync (pun intended as well)) but because you're not afraid to show that data sometimes doesn't go according to theory. You Matt, are an inteligently fun person. Thanks for your videos.

    It is completely logical that the UK version is going clockwise.
    There is a big clock in the background! What would you expect, of course it follows.
    They should have choosen a site in Australia with a simulair clock on a simulair distance, that would have been better science ;-)
    Thanks Math's, brilliant syncing

      London is in the Western Hemisphere and Sidney in the Eastern Hemisphere. And London is in the Eastern Hemisphere and Sidney in the Western Hemisphere. And they are both in the same hemisphere. Longitude is all relative, man.

    • @PaulPaulPaulson
      @PaulPaulPaulson 7 років тому +16

      How can London be in the western and the eastern hemisphere when the video clearly stated that it is in the northern hemisphere? Is London exactly in the center of the four hemispheres, touching each of it? And is Sidney in the other center on the backside of the earth? That would be a coincidence that's hard to believe for me!

    • @mattomanx77
      @mattomanx77 7 років тому +22

      The point is west/east is relative. While the earth has a clear rotation around an axis, there is a clear middle to the sphere. However, any longitude on earth could be the same as any other as far as rotation is concerned. The way we defined longitude was pretty much arbitrary. 0 degrees longitude could have just as well been somewhere in Russia, America, or through your back yard.

    While travelling in Kenya I crossed the Equator. There was guy with a metal bowl and a bottle of water. For 5 dollars he showed me the Coriolis effect live. We walked 100 meters north and the water spinned anticlockwise, then 100 meters south and it spinned clockwise, then back to the centre and it went down without spinning. No trick there. I was holding the bowl and pouring the water myself.

    • @nightgamer4333
      @nightgamer4333 7 років тому +3

      Britain used to make homes with hot water tanks to store hot water, but they were usually left open to the air, so things could end up inside the tanks. The two taps separate water from the mains, and water from the tank, so you don't get ill by drinking the hot water with potentially rats/mice/whatever can get in there, in there.

    Low Pressure systems rotate anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and High Pressure systems rotate clockwise. The air is moving downward in a High Pressure system, which is analogous to the sink drain model. Your experiments behaved as expected. I believe you demonstrated the Coriolis effect and also showed that it is weaker as you get closer to the equator, which is why the Australia results were not as consistent. Love your videos.
