Nobrainer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) It is a scientific fact that when I drop two ping pong balls (1/4inch apart and 6 feet above the water into still water the two ping pong balls pop up and touch. There is currently no physics law that covers this. The closest thing is the Huygens principle but current belief is that the reaction to waves aligning is negligible. This simple home experiment shows that the reaction to wave amplitude increase in a medium follows Newton's laws of motion and has been missed and overlooked and is NOT NEGLIGIBLE. neg·li·gi·ble /ˈneglijəbəl/ Adjective So small or unimportant as to be not worth considering; insignificant. Synonyms insignificant - trifling - trivial - inconsiderable -reference google search engine negligible defination Edited October 27, 2012 by Nobrainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek w Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Interesting.But if two bowling balls were dropped on a trampoline,the surface of the trampoline would become curved and the balls would bounce towards the centre and collide. The ping pong balls displace water as they hit it.When the water rebounds what shape does it create? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
