The last four drops were 9 years apart, 9 years apart, 12 years apart, and 14 years apart. Likely with less weight on top it is going slower. The next drop should be about 14 to 17 years after the last drop so sometime about 2028 to 2031.
Not really, you are just not that smart. A lot of experiments and theories have been proven wrong after centuries and it is not just put something in a jar and expect it to do something, you have to measure, register data and constantly test your hypothesis.
It is, of course, well-known that hot pitch is a liquid. But until this experiment, cold pitch was believed to be a solid. For most purposes, it functions as one. The experiment proved that when cooled it was technically still a liquid, but with an incredible viscosity. It takes 9 years for one drop to fall, but it will.
Have you ever heard of the light bulb that still runs from 1901 ...😂 The world's longest burning light bulb is located in Livermore,CA! It was first installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street in 1901 ....So 123 years and still going ....
They actually held meetings between various companies to make light bulbs last much less time. Originally if you bought a light bulb for a room, you essentially never needed a replacement. That's not good for profit.
I worked at a chemical plant where we had an entire storage tank full of pitch. Not only did we pump it places as a liquid but we filtered it. And yes. Filtering it sucked ass. But it's definitely a liquid. Just like everything else is a liquid at the right temperature.

I don't want to ruin the fun, but ... "Beal seed experiment"; In the fall of 1879, Professor William James Beal began an experiment to determine “the length of time seeds of some of our most common plants would remain dormant in the soil and yet germinate when exposed to favorable conditions.” This experiment in seed longevity is still active today.
Pitch is assumed to be a mixture of organic compounds. It would seem that the composition of the pitch would change over time due to selective evaporation and perhaps oxidation. Given the high viscosity, it would seem that the above would result in a nonuniform composition. Then you compare today's apples with yesterday's oranges.
Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department in Livermore, California, is considered the world's longest-burning light bulb and has been continuously operating since 1901.
I was curious about that so I looked it up and the Pitch Drop Experiment is recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest uninterrupted lab experiment as the Oxford Bell experiment has had “occasional interruptions along the way.” I couldn’t find anymore information on what these “occasional interruptions” were but Guinness does recognize it as the world’s most durable battery
If we want to go by uninterrupted experiment this pitch experiment still isn't the longest. The Beal Seed Experiment has been ongoing since 1879 on the campus of Michigan State University. Professor Beal buried 20 bottles filled with common types of plant seeds in such a way as they could not germinate while in the bottles. They would then be dug up later to see what % of the seeds would still germinate. 8 of the bottles were dug back up in the first 40 years, one every 5 years. The time intervals have lengthened since then. The 16th bottle was dug up in 2021(20 seeds still germinated!) and the next will not be dug up until 2040.
Glass is an amorphous solid, not a true liquid. It is a solid, but the molecules are not in a stranded state as a solid state would be. So in essence, if you could get all the atoms in a line, you would get a true solid piece of glass. But thin pieces of glass ARE flexible. Fiber-optic cables or fiberglass insulation, so this showing the liquidity of the atoms in glass. The stained glass on the church my ancestors built over 100 years ago was razor thin at top and ¼ inch at bottom.

Pitch is a derivative of tar... ( So it took 100 years for 7-8 drops, isn't it already proven that it is slowest flowing liquid? If you really want to experiment, put second element like this next to it and count the difference of time taken by each and then call something 'slowest in the world'.. that's how experiment is done, not like keep looking at one drop for several years.. )
Glass is the slowest flowing liquid. The glass of original windows of churches and cathedrals which are over 400 years old is thicker in the bottom compared to the top. But you will have to wait thousands of years to see the first drop from a piece of glass.
There's some missing info here. Yes, the size of the opening would matter. But what they didn't mention was that the funnel was initially sealed off, and the pitch was poured in hot, allowed to dry for 3 years, and then they cut the end of the funnel open. So it's not really an experiment to prove that it's a slow flowing liquid, more to prove that it's a liquid that never dries and therefore will always have flow, regardless of how slow.
I though lt there was an older one about seeing how long seeds can last and still germinate and has been going on for like a hundred and something years now
It's fascinating how flow pattern is measured in that type of liquid state. I just hope someone will continue this experiment and incorporate dripping-jetting flow to measure and also compare the change of viscosity of the liquid throughout the years.
One of the drops happened when a guy who was monitoring it left to eat lunch, when he came back he saw that another drop had fallen and he had missed it.
Taking something that obviously flows incredibly slowly in its natural state, and setting up an experience to prove it? What a waste. It's already been proven.
I think by now it is proven that pitch is a slow flowing liquid 😅the first drop was enough to proof that so what’s the point of the other 90y. And who’s going to watch that recording ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
