I think Destin is speaking tongue in cheek to mock himself as given the average perception in the English speaking world people think a British accent sounds smarter and an Alabama accent sounds dumber.
I would expect so, but I think you are right about the speed being key. I suspect a very fast rotation before you can really see a "bend". The water molecules move extremely slow in comparison to light, so it's very easy for the rotation to overcome this. Also.. Absolutely love your channels, I hope you can keep doing what you do as long as you feel you can.
@Cody'sLab that was a great thought. the speed of light remains constant but the frequency would change (relativistic doppler effect).. i'm guessing that adding the two vectors as in this video (speed of light + rotation speed) would produce a perceived change in the color of the laser. depending on the observer's position i imagine it could get trippy..
I think that whatever apparatus you constructed to hold the laser emitters while rotating would overcome the tensile strength of its material before you could observe a perceptible curvature of said lasers... unless you did so on an enormous scale. If you put a field of light-scattering dust around the planet and recorded the laser light interacting with that at a fraction of a light-second's distance from the emitter, it could be done. Very close to the emitter, you would notice nothing, but in low orbit, you'd notice a slight bending, and in geostationary orbit, you'd have about 120 milliseconds between the emitter and the observed scattering. You would need extraordinarily sensitive imaging equipment to observe such an effect, and the farther the laser traveled through such a cloud, the more it would scatter and the less perceptible it would become.

@@the_potatoborn On the contrary; tangential velocity relative to Earth is of course needed to achieve orbit. Velocity perpendicular to the orientation of the rocket itself, however, not so much.
Destin, your quote at 10:00 really resonated with me: "When I disagree with someone, or at least I think I disagree with someone, it is imperative that I stop -- I listen, and I don’t move on until I completely understand the other person’s perspective. Because it’s possible, you’ll find, you don’t actually disagree." A great takeaway and a great quote for all of us! Thanks so much for being real and explaining how you felt! Yet another great video, well done!
This is the basics of communication and it is always worth reminding from time to time. All communication comes with a whole bunch of implicit things like vocabulary, point of view, historical info, know-how, etc that are considered common knowledge and left untold for the sake of efficiency. It takes a lot of effort to second check them and make sure they are really common. So unless you have absolute certainty that the other party is a complete moron and is not worth talking to (then why are you talking to them in the first place?), you should always consider that this person is not stupid. So when what they say doesn't make sense to you, your first reaction should be to trace back their arguments and try to find out at what point their reasoning differs from yours. Then it's relatively easy to explicitly tell them so you can review what was truly agreed on and who is right or whether both views are just different wordings of the same thing.
Seeing how often we get the basics wrong I'm happy to have a video where it's shown and handled well. I think this video is the first or at least the best example where I see someone realizing it. And on top of that he doesn't weasel out but he makes it a great lesson!
"When i disagree with someone it is imperative that i stop, i listen and i don't move on until i completely understand the other persons perspective. Because its possible you'll find that you don't actually disagree" How to achieve world piece in a nutshell.
Or, after stopping to fully understand the other person's perspective, you find that in fact you fundamentally and irreconcilably disagree, and one of you must die.

Feels like you forgot to mention why the water travels ”ahead” when spraying inwards and ”behind” when spraying outward. The answer is simple geometry, when spraying inward the ”radius” decreases so the droplets travel faster than the shaft (since they have the tangential velocity at the tip). When spraying outward the ”radius” increases and the droplets travel slower than the imaginary extension of the pipes. Sure, just saying ”look at the resultant of velocities and remember that unless acted on by a force everything travels straight” explains the phenomena, but I feel like the simple geometry aspect explains the ”optical illusion” which really isn’t an illusion, the water is really shooting out in front and lagging behind the pipes, if you were to place something there (in the same rotational reference frame) it would become wet, so not really an ”illusion”.
The water droplets are 'drawing' a trace which looks like it's ahead or behind the nozzle, but they're just moving at an angle that changes relative to the rotating nozzles. The terms 'ahead' and ' behind' are not relevant in this dualistic system where one part is rotating (nozzles) and the other moving linearly, it's just the trace that gives us the false impression, while our brains fail to decode the movement of each individual droplet. Our brains also fail to decode other people's views and feelings when we assume to have authority on some subject. I wouldn't say any nation in particular exhibits this feature, but progressive, intelligent and educated folks can be arrogant, even without knowing it.
He turned an already awesome video to another level by his monologue at the end. Even I was thinking the same thing during the video that Destin is not listening to him properly. But it was cool of him to accept that in the end. Loved the video and your channel in general too.
More like; the 2 smartest kids have the same answer, but by coming to it by different methods, or just describing the same method differently, and arguing over which approach was right. (When, in fact, both are equally valid.)
Scientist _have_ to admit if they're wrong. If not, they aren't scientists. But a professor! Someone heard a professor admit he was wrong about anything?
@PracticalTech I agree with you. I just think it is unfortunate that government is run by lawyers who spend their lives IN government writing law to benefit themselves. Are they actually solving any problems? Most scientists and engineers are in the practical world solving real problems. We could benefit from a few more actual problem solvers rather than professional liars.
Here's a way to intuit this result: If two objects are in circular motion with the same tangential velocity, but with different radii, the one with the smaller radius will have a higher angular velocity, which means it will complete the circle in less time. Think of a fan blade. The end of the blade has a much higher tangential speed than the base even though both parts of the blade complete the circle in the same amount of time. If you decrease the radius, but keep tangential velocity the same, you get a greater angular speed, which explains why the water moving inwards leads, while the water moving outwards trails.
@@m4r_y0 This is false as the droplets are no longer in circular motion after leaving the nozzle. What force acts on them to keep them rotating? None in my opinion.
Matthew Bowles you are correct the droplets doesn’t have a circular path. But it still does apply. Meaning the distance between the droplet and the center in the second test is is getting smaller, vs in the first test is getting bigger. So relative to the nozzle end, the droplets can be ahead or behind it since the nozzle end doesn’t change its distance which is the radius
@@m4r_y0 I think I understand what you're saying, but because the droplets don't have a circular path, the initial state does NOT have two objects in circular motion, so any effects of their relative radii and angular velocity are not applicable. right?
Thanks for taking an interesting physics question, interpreting with humility, and turning it back on yourself in an honest and personal way. You're the best !

Hey Destin, video request! In the book "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" at the end of the chapter of the same name, Feynman describes an experiment he did with spinning water pipes. In the experiment, he sets up an S shaped pipe and forces water through it and asks, which way will the pipe spin? Then asks the question, if instead, the whole thing were submerged in water, and we suck water through the S shaped pipe, which way will the pipe spin? Unfortunately, the chapter ends with him breaking some Princeton equipment and we don't get to find out which way it spins! I think this would be an awesome follow up video to make!
When sucking water, the sprinkler will not spin at all. This is in fact what Feynman observed, but he thought incorrectly that the problem was not enough pressure. When he applied more pressure, the tank exploded. A video would be a very good idea.
Gosh, I love your channel! It's so fun to watch someone be enthusiastic about stuff! I really appreciate how you stop and address stuff like how you guys were agreeing but not. I appreciate your outlook on life and that you choose to share it with us, thanks.
Dear Destin: Premieres are a guaranteed way to lower your view count. 1) They annoy subscribers, who see you've made a video but they can't watch it. 2) It punishes people for checking their subscriptions. 3) The like/dislike ratio should be enough evidence by itself. I hope you get "Smarter Today" and never use this ridiculous feature again. Thanks from an early subscriber (been here since 10k subs or so)
Great analysis on the implications of the feature. Logically sound and well-put. Glad to see this among the sea of just “I don’t like it it’s annoying”. Hope Dustin sees it!
It is really good for some things. But usually only videos over 40 minutes and when the creator is present in chat. Since this video didn't meet either one of the criteria it isn't really good for premieres
I'm not super-bothered by it, but I DO have to wonder what the point of them is. I see so many youtubers doing it - it seems improbable that they're doing something with no upside whatsoever... But I can't identify what the upside might be... Even if this upside of premieres is illusory in practice, there still has to at least be the IDEA of some kind of benefit, so... What would it be, exactly?
The only thing physics and politics have in common: Whether positions and movements are positive or negative, it all depends on your frame of reference.
@@mariovelez578 but an inertial frame can only define positive and negative values based on acceleration, not 'direction'. In the case of two political ideas diverging from each other, there is no 'true' frame of reference to define which is 'positive' and which is 'negative' (or constant). In the case of a political movement with 'acceleration' (I dunno the apt analogy for that, support growing for it maybe?) then at that point we can say one idea is steady state while the other is changing. In the case of the video experiment, the object which is accelerating is the tube apparatus (not the water). If I was (politically) water, I would be correct to say that those darned water pipe party members are always changing, I'm just going about my business! :) If I was part of the tubing party, I'd have to say, yeah the water party isn't 'accelerating backwards' but they're not keeping up with the times! (Oh the times, they are a changin')

That was before they pushed the video up in your feed as if it was released at the premiere time.

@@TBD98, premiere can be a verb. It's premiering right when you see it. Maybe people will get used to it over time but for now, I and most people don't even see the word anyway.
@@thanksfernuthin I hate it. I'll Also forget about the video when they come out and forget to watch it. I seen the video and was interested in watching it. It's a highly disappointing feature
First Sprinkler: Once the water leaves the spout there is no Coreolis force to accelerate it tangentially that’s why it lags behind the sprinkler arms as it moves radially outward. Each particle has the same tangential velocity as it had when it left the nozzle. The drops would have to accelerate tangentially (via Coreolis force) to keep up with the arm as the drops move away from the centre of rotation. Once the drops leave the nozzles they travel in straight lines. Second sprinkler. This is the exact opposite of the first case. The flow appears to lead the arms because the water has the tangential velocity that it had when it left the nozzle. There is no Coreolis force to slow the water’s tangential velocity to match the arms. Since the tangential velocity at the nozzle is bigger than nearer the axis the water leads the arms.
Please don't do premieres They show up normally in our subscription feed and get buried by other channels content by the time we can watch the video. This leaves us forgetting that you posted anything in the first place.
Love this demonstration. Each design kind of emphasizes the two different frames of references. The first design makes it easier to visualize the pipes as the frame of reference as the water “trails behind.” And the second makes it easier to visualize the particle as the reference frame as it “moves forward” after it exits the pipe.
@@JeremyLogan Jeremy scores on a low blow. Destin opens himself up to criticism by admitting his faults, and you take the opportunity. Congratulations.
No, it doesn't. My brain just turned itself into a pretzel. If you move a nozzle like that, the water should 'trail behind' as each particle is ejected on its path. I don't know why I can't get PAST that....!! Frustrating!
@@RICDirector Ditto. I'm with you. The more I think about it the more my brain hurts. As much as Destin's arrows add up and make sense, my eyes still tell me somethings wrong here...
As someone who like physics in high school and college at first I predicted what it was going to do. but as soon as Destin said it would lag behind my brain. decided all that math stuff is wrong and to go with what feels right, the water lagging behind. this is something our brains like to do to us. we will use our preconceived model of the world, based on or daily experience, to predict things; even if a more accurate math based model exists saying it is wrong. And this is hard to overcome as our brain does not like being wrong. I am glad for videos like these, because they still show me that I haven't fully gotten over this flaw of overconfidence in my predictive skills
@@RICDirector You are only used to the water coming out on the outside of the turn, as with the first example in this video. the second example the water is being fired in the opposite direction, into the inside of the turn and hence the opposite happens. If you only ever had your lead tilted to the left, objects would drop to your left with gravity. If you tilted your head to the right, objects would drop the "wrong way" to the right, but they would still be following the laws of gravity.
@@martinharding Sorry, great explanation, but my brain is still insisting that something is wrong! I hope Destin does another, more involved, video that takes it even more simply to help those of us like me....whose brains need a good stirring up! :)
@@CamaroZ28Nut3 So you'd rather just simply not know it's about to be released at all? That doesn't make any sense. The video is going to be released at the same time no matter what.
Because whether you realize it or not, releases ARE always scheduled in advance. Destin doesn't just finish a video and slap it up whenever it happens to be done, releases are scheduled so that the most amount of people as possible see it as it goes live to help the video perform well. A premier just allows more people to be aware of WHEN it goes live. And it's been a massive success for that.
Hey Steve , I’m 63 yo and started watching your vids. The sprinkler episode where you failed listen is familiar to me. What sets this off in my mind is your resemblance to a man of science.

A photo taken from a rotating frame and a photo taken from a stationary frame would be indistinguishable. A video taken from a rotating frame would show fixed arms with the water curving behind the arm (in the first case) and ahead in the second case.
Dude, i HATE premiers. What purpose do they actually serve? Is this broadcast TV, where it is physically impossible to broadcast more than one show at a time, thereby necessitating a schedule of shows played at specific times in series? Or is this the internet where you can digitally transfer files at upwards of 100 Gb/s to millions, if not billions of people at the same time, on demand?
This is the internet, where _both_ viewing modes possible. You can premiere videos live in a way that allows people to enjoy them together, _and_ still have the final video be available for others to watch later at their leisure in case they can't or don't want to catch it live.
It still sends out a notification and repositions in your Subscription feed when it goes live though? The only thing that's different is it lets you know before hand when a video will be uploaded.
@@CamaroZ28Nut3 The reason the premier comments out number comments about the video is because everyone could comment for 8 hours before the video even went live. Sort them by new, you'll see a huge difference.
@@philippdiez4228 Dustin is mixing up his frames of reference. A stationary arm only makes sense to the single particle for multiple particles you need to consider all the arm positions.

I'm like d00d, we're all just screaming into the void, but we're really on the same team here. If we tweak our tone just a little, we might be able to go from destructive interference, to constructive interference, and then maybe our voices will rise above the din enough that others might hear it and understand what's really going on here.
Wow! I love that step back you take at the end of the video. It's super tough to even realise when we are doing that and then even tougher to admit it and work to modify our behaviour. Kudos to you sir!
So basically: The water lags behind when the water is going radially away from the center because the ratio of the water particles angular velocity to its radial distance is decreasing. The water appears to be going ahead of the rotation when the water is going radially inward because that same ratio is then increasing. This was a really cool video!
Yes I think you are correct, and I am a bit disappointed that Dustin did not explain why most people would assume that the water in the second contraption should trail like it did in the first place. Thank you for doing that in his stead! In simple English: assume that the contraption shoots out pellets of water, in the second example, the further the pellets are from the spout, the closer they are to the center. This means they need to travel less and less distance as the pellet approaches the center, while the newly formed pellets have to travel more (to appear to be in a line).
my favorite teacher in high school spent the whole first week of the semester making the case for how imperative it is to try and understand the other POV. It really is a key concept in life.

Something in me wants to yell "Coriolis". As for the "Premiere" feature I agree with the other comments I have seen: it is very irritating to be notified of a new video in one of my subscriptions, only to find out I can't actually watch the video yet!
I didn't even get a notification, but isn't the sign that says "PREMIERE" in big bold letters plus the time of release make it obvious anyway? Is the layout different on other devices?
@@aDifferentJT I'd bet that both Steve and Destin know that's the explanation but want to turn it into a longer discussion for the video. Would have made for a better video if they went into more depth about it.
It's not the coriolis effect. That effect is easily overcome with the implementation of external force on the object. In this case external force has already been added by the rotation of the sprinkler. This is just plain old centripetal Force aided by gravity and acceleration.
I very much think this is the Coriolis effect, or at least the same phenomenon that applies to both, is at play. As the water moves closer to the center of spin, it appears to "speed up" relative to the spindle, making it curve to the right; as it jets away, it "slows down" making it curve to the left.
This is the first, and hopefully the last I see this premier feature on your channel. Because now I won't come back to this video when ready, it's time is gone. This is a feature for socialites. Be better next time, be smarter! Edit: Okay, I'm back because I still have notifications on. That's a very humble back yard, Steve.
@@clearviewmoai People. Yes. Scientists shouldn't though. That's part of our education: being wrong is just as exiting as being right. Unfortunately you can't publish that - which is a problem for another time ;)
Do you know what, I've been watching several of your videos and I'm about to start sharing them on my Facebook page as absolutely brilliant examples of fascinating psychology at work! The first that drew me in was the neuro-plasticity of the backwards bike. I have even started using this example in my own work with clients! Then I watched the "persistence of vision" video about not believing what you see!! There's so much beautiful psychology going on here! It's awesome...
This video reminds me of an "invention" I came up with, but haven't had the time or money to patent. So, I will disclose the idea here, and maybe someone here can develop it, patent it, and if it's successful, send me a tiny fraction of the profits. It basically looks like an old style sprinkler, but larger, that is spun by a motor, and flings water outward, thus pulling water through a pipe. It can only pull water up about 30 feet, but if friction is minimized, it could be very efficient - and successive ones could be used to raise water much more than 30 feet, say into a water tower.
The key point that made it click for me is this: The magnitude of tangential component of the velocity of the water coming out of the tube is proportional to the radius at the point it exits. Now imagine a line extending outward. The tangential component of a point out there moving on that line would be greater than the speed of the water shooting outward so the water seems to "lag behind". Contrast this to shooting water inwards. In that case a point on the line has a smaller tangential component than for the water, so the water seems to "dart ahead".
There is one thing you guys didn't show. 7:54 If you increase the rotation speed of the "reverse sprinkler" the curvature you see the water making will flip and start to lag behind instead of being in front of the direction of rotation. Not only that but instead of a parabola curving out of the circle it will be curving in like a spiral. You see that parabola curving out in front of the direction of rotation because the water of moving faster than that "reverse sprinkler" direction of rotation. When their speed equalize you will see some kind of mushroom shape and maybe even make a Laminar Flow because the water that is getting out of the tube will collide with the water that is getting out of the tube. Be aware that the water inside those tubes are experiencing centrifugal effect and because of that the faster you spin the "reverse sprinkler" the faster the water will want to get out of the tubes so you may need to add a flow restriction to make the effect easier to produce.
I was taught that this is referred to as the “I’m an expert” trap...and it catches us all, from time to time. Our personal experience mutes all others’, for ours, to us, is most important. Cultural projection clouds the perspective, as well. There are many “right” answers, but we should focus on the many correct outcomes.
I'm learning long range shooting right now, and as i was going through the material this video came to mind. This is a physical demonstration of the Coriolis effect and why it always shifts to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern, regardless of direction of fire!
Destin, in the skeptics, circles we call it "The principle of charity." 'the idea that requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation.' something I struggle with as well.
You think _you_ struggle with it? Take a look at the worlds of politics & religion!

Ok now I want to know if this will do the same with lasers instead of streams of water. I assume a much greater rotation rate will be required.
Can you hire the LHC by the hour and give that a try?
I would expect so, but I think you are right about the speed being key. I suspect a very fast rotation before you can really see a "bend". The water molecules move extremely slow in comparison to light, so it's very easy for the rotation to overcome this. Also.. Absolutely love your channels, I hope you can keep doing what you do as long as you feel you can.
The ol relativistic sprinkler.
@Cody'sLab that was a great thought. the speed of light remains constant but the frequency would change (relativistic doppler effect).. i'm guessing that adding the two vectors as in this video (speed of light + rotation speed) would produce a perceived change in the color of the laser. depending on the observer's position i imagine it could get trippy..
I think that whatever apparatus you constructed to hold the laser emitters while rotating would overcome the tensile strength of its material before you could observe a perceptible curvature of said lasers... unless you did so on an enormous scale. If you put a field of light-scattering dust around the planet and recorded the laser light interacting with that at a fraction of a light-second's distance from the emitter, it could be done. Very close to the emitter, you would notice nothing, but in low orbit, you'd notice a slight bending, and in geostationary orbit, you'd have about 120 milliseconds between the emitter and the observed scattering. You would need extraordinarily sensitive imaging equipment to observe such an effect, and the farther the laser traveled through such a cloud, the more it would scatter and the less perceptible it would become.

@@AndrewFRC135 you don't know much about rockets, do you? If your rocket DOESN'T have tangential velocity, you're doing something wrong.

Destin, your quote at 10:00 really resonated with me:
"When I disagree with someone, or at least I think I disagree with someone, it is imperative that I stop -- I listen, and I don’t move on until I completely understand the other person’s perspective. Because it’s possible, you’ll find, you don’t actually disagree."
A great takeaway and a great quote for all of us! Thanks so much for being real and explaining how you felt! Yet another great video, well done!
This is the basics of communication and it is always worth reminding from time to time. All communication comes with a whole bunch of implicit things like vocabulary, point of view, historical info, know-how, etc that are considered common knowledge and left untold for the sake of efficiency. It takes a lot of effort to second check them and make sure they are really common.
So unless you have absolute certainty that the other party is a complete moron and is not worth talking to (then why are you talking to them in the first place?), you should always consider that this person is not stupid. So when what they say doesn't make sense to you, your first reaction should be to trace back their arguments and try to find out at what point their reasoning differs from yours. Then it's relatively easy to explicitly tell them so you can review what was truly agreed on and who is right or whether both views are just different wordings of the same thing.
Seeing how often we get the basics wrong I'm happy to have a video where it's shown and handled well.
I think this video is the first or at least the best example where I see someone realizing it. And on top of that he doesn't weasel out but he makes it a great lesson!
"When i disagree with someone it is imperative that i stop, i listen and i don't move on until i completely understand the other persons perspective. Because its possible you'll find that you don't actually disagree"

No no the world in pieces is the opposite of what we're going for
Or, after stopping to fully understand the other person's perspective, you find that in fact you fundamentally and irreconcilably disagree, and one of you must die.
I feel that this applies to 90% of politics.
I realy like how eventhough he didn't listen to him while performing the experiment, he took the time to reflect and admit that he was wrong.

OH!
I like how you both don't care about who was wrong, its about discovery and learning.
Feels like you forgot to mention why the water travels ”ahead” when spraying inwards and ”behind” when spraying outward.
The answer is simple geometry, when spraying inward the ”radius” decreases so the droplets travel faster than the shaft (since they have the tangential velocity at the tip).
When spraying outward the ”radius” increases and the droplets travel slower than the imaginary extension of the pipes.
Sure, just saying ”look at the resultant of velocities and remember that unless acted on by a force everything travels straight” explains the phenomena, but I feel like the simple geometry aspect explains the ”optical illusion” which really isn’t an illusion, the water is really shooting out in front and lagging behind the pipes, if you were to place something there (in the same rotational reference frame) it would become wet, so not really an ”illusion”.
Thank you!
Thank you, this really helped!!
I was confused about this before I read your comment. Thanks!
The water droplets are 'drawing' a trace which looks like it's ahead or behind the nozzle, but they're just moving at an angle that changes relative to the rotating nozzles. The terms 'ahead' and ' behind' are not relevant in this dualistic system where one part is rotating (nozzles) and the other moving linearly, it's just the trace that gives us the false impression, while our brains fail to decode the movement of each individual droplet.
Our brains also fail to decode other people's views and feelings when we assume to have authority on some subject. I wouldn't say any nation in particular exhibits this feature, but progressive, intelligent and educated folks can be arrogant, even without knowing it.
This needs to be pinned. Absolutely the changing radius is the reason for 'curve' as angular momentum appears to turn into straight momentum.

You're a great roll model and your genuine conversation about vulnerable scientific conversation is spot on!
This is what I love about scientists: Admitting when you’re wrong and rejoice in finding out the truth.
It's not about being right, it's about finding out what is right and why
Scientist _have_ to admit if they're wrong. If not, they aren't scientists. But a professor! Someone heard a professor admit he was wrong about anything?
If only governments were run by scientists and engineers instead of lawyers!
If only scientists actually acted this way. Very many do not.
@PracticalTech I agree with you. I just think it is unfortunate that government is run by lawyers who spend their lives IN government writing law to benefit themselves. Are they actually solving any problems? Most scientists and engineers are in the practical world solving real problems. We could benefit from a few more actual problem solvers rather than professional liars.
Destin sneakily teaching everyone vector addition lol
John Thomas i got smarter today
John Thomas hold up hold up you are telling me I've learned something similar to something advanced (for me atleast)
But then at 6 minutes, he describes the two vectors and for some reason comes to the wrong conclusion on their sum.
Hopefully also teaching us humility and problem resolution.
I noticed that lol
Here's a way to intuit this result:
If two objects are in circular motion with the same tangential velocity, but with different radii, the one with the smaller radius will have a higher angular velocity, which means it will complete the circle in less time.
Think of a fan blade. The end of the blade has a much higher tangential speed than the base even though both parts of the blade complete the circle in the same amount of time.
If you decrease the radius, but keep tangential velocity the same, you get a greater angular speed, which explains why the water moving inwards leads, while the water moving outwards trails.
Aha! Thank you for that!
Beat me to it
@@m4r_y0 This is false as the droplets are no longer in circular motion after leaving the nozzle. What force acts on them to keep them rotating? None in my opinion.
Matthew Bowles you are correct the droplets doesn’t have a circular path. But it still does apply. Meaning the distance between the droplet and the center in the second test is is getting smaller, vs in the first test is getting bigger. So relative to the nozzle end, the droplets can be ahead or behind it since the nozzle end doesn’t change its distance which is the radius
@@m4r_y0 I think I understand what you're saying, but because the droplets don't have a circular path, the initial state does NOT have two objects in circular motion, so any effects of their relative radii and angular velocity are not applicable. right?
Thanks for taking an interesting physics question, interpreting with humility, and turning it back on yourself in an honest and personal way. You're the best !
Don't use Premier feature. RUclips intentionally makes them show up in the feed like normal videos when they can't be played.
Well... they can't be played because it's premiering in 9 hours. The premier feature is simply a way to announce to viewers that there is a video coming up soon.

Yup really important point from Destin! I mean he basically became less american after that experience.
8:26 is important
Hey Destin, video request!
In the book "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" at the end of the chapter of the same name, Feynman describes an experiment he did with spinning water pipes. In the experiment, he sets up an S shaped pipe and forces water through it and asks, which way will the pipe spin? Then asks the question, if instead, the whole thing were submerged in water, and we suck water through the S shaped pipe, which way will the pipe spin? Unfortunately, the chapter ends with him breaking some Princeton equipment and we don't get to find out which way it spins! I think this would be an awesome follow up video to make!
I really hope one of these science youtubers pick this up. I am still intrigued to find the answer out
That's a really good cliffhanger
When sucking water, the sprinkler will not spin at all. This is in fact what Feynman observed, but he thought incorrectly that the problem was not enough pressure. When he applied more pressure, the tank exploded. A video would be a very good idea.

Dear Destin: Premieres are a guaranteed way to lower your view count.

2) It punishes people for checking their subscriptions.
3) The like/dislike ratio should be enough evidence by itself.

Thanks from an early subscriber (been here since 10k subs or so)
Great analysis on the implications of the feature. Logically sound and well-put. Glad to see this among the sea of just “I don’t like it it’s annoying”.
Hope Dustin sees it!
It is really good for some things. But usually only videos over 40 minutes and when the creator is present in chat.
Since this video didn't meet either one of the criteria it isn't really good for premieres
Didn't initially dislike but did so now for your point. 100% agree. It's ok if youtube doesn't "recommend" it like it's a normal video.
man i didnt even dislike because of premier, im fed up with the annoying "im american therefore i think this way" jokes
I'm not super-bothered by it, but I DO have to wonder what the point of them is.
I see so many youtubers doing it - it seems improbable that they're doing something with no upside whatsoever...
But I can't identify what the upside might be...
Even if this upside of premieres is illusory in practice, there still has to at least be the IDEA of some kind of benefit, so... What would it be, exactly?
The only thing physics and politics have in common: Whether positions and movements are positive or negative, it all depends on your frame of reference.
the frame of reference needs to be inertial to hold true
@@mariovelez578 but an inertial frame can only define positive and negative values based on acceleration, not 'direction'.
In the case of two political ideas diverging from each other, there is no 'true' frame of reference to define which is 'positive' and which is 'negative' (or constant). In the case of a political movement with 'acceleration' (I dunno the apt analogy for that, support growing for it maybe?) then at that point we can say one idea is steady state while the other is changing.
In the case of the video experiment, the object which is accelerating is the tube apparatus (not the water). If I was (politically) water, I would be correct to say that those darned water pipe party members are always changing, I'm just going about my business! :)
If I was part of the tubing party, I'd have to say, yeah the water party isn't 'accelerating backwards' but they're not keeping up with the times! (Oh the times, they are a changin')

Be like me and unsubscribe.
First Sprinkler: Once the water leaves the spout there is no Coreolis force to accelerate it tangentially that’s why it lags behind the sprinkler arms as it moves radially outward. Each particle has the same tangential velocity as it had when it left the nozzle. The drops would have to accelerate tangentially (via Coreolis force) to keep up with the arm as the drops move away from the centre of rotation. Once the drops leave the nozzles they travel in straight lines.
Second sprinkler. This is the exact opposite of the first case.
The flow appears to lead the arms because the water has the tangential velocity that it had when it left the nozzle. There is no Coreolis force to slow the water’s tangential velocity to match the arms. Since the tangential velocity at the nozzle is bigger than nearer the axis the water leads the arms.
Please don't do premieres
They show up normally in our subscription feed and get buried by other channels content by the time we can watch the video. This leaves us forgetting that you posted anything in the first place.
basically what i said too... wow there is a lot of hate on this feature here. lol
Exactly. It just hurts the creator in the end, especially for such a long premier time like Destin posted.

I hate premieres so much. It is like punishment for people checking their subscription feed.
Exactly
Love this demonstration. Each design kind of emphasizes the two different frames of references. The first design makes it easier to visualize the pipes as the frame of reference as the water “trails behind.” And the second makes it easier to visualize the particle as the reference frame as it “moves forward” after it exits the pipe.

As someone who like physics in high school and college at first I predicted what it was going to do. but as soon as Destin said it would lag behind my brain.
decided all that math stuff is wrong and to go with what feels right, the water lagging behind. this is something our brains like to do to us. we will use our preconceived model of the world, based on or daily experience, to predict things; even if a more accurate math based model exists saying it is wrong. And this is hard to overcome as our brain does not like being wrong. I am glad for videos like these, because they still show me that I haven't fully gotten over this flaw of overconfidence in my predictive skills
@@RICDirector You are only used to the water coming out on the outside of the turn, as with the first example in this video. the second example the water is being fired in the opposite direction, into the inside of the turn and hence the opposite happens.

If you tilted your head to the right, objects would drop the "wrong way" to the right, but they would still be following the laws of gravity.

So basically:
The water lags behind when the water is going radially away from the center because the ratio of the water particles angular velocity to its radial distance is decreasing. The water appears to be going ahead of the rotation when the water is going radially inward because that same ratio is then increasing. This was a really cool video!
no i think its just realy simple. If you track your head with one of the water spouts, it makes sense that it's jetting out with force that direction

Yes I think you are correct, and I am a bit disappointed that Dustin did not explain why most people would assume that the water in the second contraption should trail like it did in the first place. Thank you for doing that in his stead!
In simple English: assume that the contraption shoots out pellets of water, in the second example, the further the pellets are from the spout, the closer they are to the center. This means they need to travel less and less distance as the pellet approaches the center, while the newly formed pellets have to travel more (to appear to be in a line).
Bingo. I was looking for this comment. Yes, it was a great video and the result fooled my intuitive guess!
Beautiful explanation, Zero.
my favorite teacher in high school spent the whole first week of the semester making the case for how imperative it is to try and understand the other POV.
It really is a key concept in life.
9:07 is why I love this channel. Thank you Destin for staying humble and teaching us all how to shut pride and listen. If only all our politicians learned this!
I love how you add the relational epiphany at the end!
"When I disagree with someone, or at least I think I disagree with someone, it is imperative that I stop, I listen, and I don't move on until I completely understand the other person's perspective.
Something in me wants to yell "Coriolis".
As for the "Premiere" feature I agree with the other comments I have seen: it is very irritating to be notified of a new video in one of my subscriptions, only to find out I can't actually watch the video yet!
I didn't even get a notification, but isn't the sign that says "PREMIERE" in big bold letters plus the time of release make it obvious anyway? Is the layout different on other devices?
I too got annoyed since I thought this was simple if you understand the Coriolis effect (which may not be everyone but should be Destin)
@@aDifferentJT I'd bet that both Steve and Destin know that's the explanation but want to turn it into a longer discussion for the video. Would have made for a better video if they went into more depth about it.
It's not the coriolis effect. That effect is easily overcome with the implementation of external force on the object. In this case external force has already been added by the rotation of the sprinkler. This is just plain old centripetal Force aided by gravity and acceleration.
I very much think this is the Coriolis effect, or at least the same phenomenon that applies to both, is at play. As the water moves closer to the center of spin, it appears to "speed up" relative to the spindle, making it curve to the right; as it jets away, it "slows down" making it curve to the left.
This is the first, and hopefully the last I see this premier feature on your channel. Because now I won't come back to this video when ready, it's time is gone. This is a feature for socialites. Be better next time, be smarter!
Edit: Okay, I'm back because I still have notifications on. That's a very humble back yard, Steve.
9:10 this is the most woke moment in your channel, I feel like this is how the rest of the world see Americans
that's just people in general dude. we don't like to be wrong and we have to fight our nature and learn to be teachable.
@@clearviewmoai People. Yes. Scientists shouldn't though. That's part of our education: being wrong is just as exiting as being right. Unfortunately you can't publish that - which is a problem for another time ;)
@xBris Scientists are still human like the rest of us, and while their objectivity is better, they are not perfect beings.
@@bryanp.1327 exactly, which is why we have peer reviewing to get perspective from scientists who are not attached to an idea.
As someone who has lived for 8 years in other countries, yes, that's exactly how the world sees Americans.
Do you know what, I've been watching several of your videos and I'm about to start sharing them on my Facebook page as absolutely brilliant examples of fascinating psychology at work!
The first that drew me in was the neuro-plasticity of the backwards bike. I have even started using this example in my own work with clients!
Then I watched the "persistence of vision" video about not believing what you see!!
There's so much beautiful psychology going on here! It's awesome...
When he said “And here were are in the smarter every day moment” I thought he was gonna start talking about the audible sponsorship lmao
This is exactly the kind of gentleman’s wager that resulted in the invention of the moving picture...
The other possibility was an antimatter bomb.
This video reminds me of an "invention" I came up with, but haven't had the time or money to patent. So, I will disclose the idea here, and maybe someone here can develop it, patent it, and if it's successful, send me a tiny fraction of the profits.
It basically looks like an old style sprinkler, but larger, that is spun by a motor, and flings water outward, thus pulling water through a pipe. It can only pull water up about 30 feet, but if friction is minimized, it could be very efficient - and successive ones could be used to raise water much more than 30 feet, say into a water tower.
@@FLPhotoCatcher It's called radial pump and has been around over a hundred years. Sorry.
That is similar in certain ways, but is much more complicated. My idea is cheap, and (hopefully) more efficient.
@@FLPhotoCatcher I'll bite, what's the difference between this and a radial pump? I'm genuinely curious.
The key point that made it click for me is this: The magnitude of tangential component of the velocity of the water coming out of the tube is proportional to the radius at the point it exits. Now imagine a line extending outward. The tangential component of a point out there moving on that line would be greater than the speed of the water shooting outward so the water seems to "lag behind".
Contrast this to shooting water inwards. In that case a point on the line has a smaller tangential component than for the water, so the water seems to "dart ahead".
There is one thing you guys didn't show.
7:54 If you increase the rotation speed of the "reverse sprinkler" the curvature you see the water making will flip and start to lag behind instead of being in front of the direction of rotation. Not only that but instead of a parabola curving out of the circle it will be curving in like a spiral.
You see that parabola curving out in front of the direction of rotation because the water of moving faster than that "reverse sprinkler" direction of rotation. When their speed equalize you will see some kind of mushroom shape and maybe even make a
Laminar Flow because the water that is getting out of the tube will collide with the water that is getting out of the tube.
Be aware that the water inside those tubes are experiencing centrifugal effect and because of that the faster you spin the "reverse sprinkler" the faster the water will want to get out of the tubes so you may need to add a flow restriction to make the effect easier to produce.

This was an amazing video with a really important message. This is so incredibly important in this day and age. Proud of you, Destin.
Absolutely! :-)
I was taught that this is referred to as the “I’m an expert” trap...and it catches us all, from time to time. Our personal experience mutes all others’, for ours, to us, is most important. Cultural projection clouds the perspective, as well. There are many “right” answers, but we should focus on the many correct outcomes.
I'm learning long range shooting right now, and as i was going through the material this video came to mind.
This is a physical demonstration of the Coriolis effect and why it always shifts to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern, regardless of direction of fire!
Destin, in the skeptics, circles we call it "The principle of charity."
'the idea that requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation.'
something I struggle with as well.
You think _you_ struggle with it? Take a look at the worlds of politics & religion! Often 2 camps want & try for the same thing, but *_will not_* cooperate with the 'opposition' or agree to their proposals, (even though they are the same as their own), because either side refuses to accept that the other can *also* be right.
Premiere only works for a 30-10min timer. Otherwise its just unnecessarily annoying
No, it doesnt work at all. Just show us a video, not a dumb reminder.
@@Tyrone696 I think it can work. For instance, yesterday Carfection used première 30 minutes in advance and it was just great to watch such a excellent interview together with other car enthusiasts and to share car love in the chat
I wish some of my professors would be so "fact focussed" instead of "title focussed". I loved your message and learned something new.
I love love love this moment about taking the time to understand the other person.
Awesome takeaway. Great moment of humility.
