Description

The resistance to change in physical systems shall be demonstrated via some attention grabbing challenges which will include "Bottle and Pencil" where one tries to drop a writing utensil into the neck of a glass bottle while a knitting loop blocks its path and "Breaking Broomstick" which dares to ask if one can break a length of wood in half while its ends are resting horizontally upon a pair of wine glasses.

Primary author

Dr William A. Tobias (University of Virginia)
