World's Slowest Experiment: Running for 99 Years

World's Slowest Experiment: Running for 99 Years 🕰️ In 1927, Professor Thomas Parnell in Australia set up a strange experiment. Pitch looks like a black solid, and it shatters like glass when hit with a hammer. But is it actually a liquid? He put it in a funnel to find out. Here's what happened: ⏳ 1930: The funnel was opened 💧 1938: The first drop fell, after 8 years 💧 Next drop: about 9 years later ⚰️ 1948: Parnell died, but the experiment kept going 💧 2014: The 9th drop fell The result? Pitch really is a liquid, about 230 billion times thicker than water! 🤯 The craziest part: in 99 years, no person has ever seen a drop fall live. Would you have waited that long?
