I am watching Ripley’s Believe it or Not! (only the highest quality for me) and they are going to drop the world’s largest rubber band ball from an airplane over the mojave desert (I am no physicist, but I think it is obvious that the ball will bounce back up and destroy the airplane. This is going to be amazing!).
Brilliant! Why don’t we do more things like this?! We have the desert; we have the technology!
There are all sorts of things that we could be dropping from airplanes. What happens when you drop the world’s largest batch of Jello™ from an airplane? No one knows.
Where are all the scientists?!
Defying all laws of nature, and boring me to tears, the rubber band ball did not bounce up and destroy the plane that dropped it. Instead it just left a big crater and broke apart.
