Message:I love reading about all such events. There's an amazing amount of weirdities within meteorological history. We just don't know when the next one (event to block the sun) will peek around the corner. This is one that's got a lot more verified info on, and while in some ways was less extreme - because of a much larger population, the effects might even have been greater.

Message:What's weird is that altho I got 'decent' at (low-level) Schrodinger's Equation calculations and all that, I never deeply delved into the classical version (the Lagrangian(s)) nearly as much. I would imagine the reverse of that is more common, but don't really know. The dichotomy between classical and quantum reminds me a little, not surprisingly, of the 'battle' between the forces of wave, vs. the forces of particle, along the lines of what Klepp's been posting about quantum erasers.

Message:They actually (in the old days, "back when I was a boy"), they could be quite interesting and variable. I applaud your curiosity - unless you tried with one of the ones with a liquid center. Whatever that was, it was nasty dangerous.
I guess I should 'splain that science and math have been in search of a good solution for the "3-body problem" for centuries. To know the precise positions of 3 bodies as they interact with each other. Historically, this was the sun, earth, and moon. Obviously Newton needed to be very, very good at math to try and solve those kinds of things. But it is *massively* harder than the much simpler 2-body problem. Often, like when LaGrange solved for the 3rd and 4th Lagrange points (as per our earlier discussion of Webb's position), some minor 'approximations' are used. That's the "classical system".
Transferring that problem to the subatomic sphere (see what I did there?), quantum mechanics tries to do the job, because at that scale, Newtonian mechanics falls completely apart. But again, it's ridiculously complex, even for a simple helium atom. So the math gets kinda out of control in a hurry. So when I said I got decent at those calculations, I was only referring to a 2-body problem - like a hydrogen atom. And as a further disclaimer..........that was a long time ago, and to say I'd be rusty now would be too kind.

Message:Correction: Meant 4th and 5th Lagrange points above. Euler got the first 3 earlier - the ones that are all on the direct axis of the sun and earth.

Message:Speaking from first-hand experience...........it burned my eyes, and I felt lucky to have not suffered any damage. Of course, salt water would have done that. Heck, I was probably 10-12 years old, but I remember it having a vile smell, too. Your link is interesting; I may try to dig deeper - or not. I also used to have one very old gutta percha ball.

Message:So what causes the droplets to flatten out before they "explode"? It *looks* like they do that in response to the pressure waves, as a way to reduce (spread out, actually) the force - but that hurts the surface tension, right?
Does the amplitude of the bottom speaker have to be slightly more than the upper one, to compensate for gravity? I don't think so, as that would mess up the standing waves. So I guess gravity is insignificant compared to the levitation.
Is there some Bernoulli effect involved, too? I suspect not, or he likely would have mentioned it. I guess with a standing wave, that effect couldn't co-exist. But as we know, one can suspend *at least* one light ball just with air coming from one direction (Bernoulli effect).
Love seeing standing waves in nature - usually in water or clouds of course. Lenticular clouds are a form of standing waves. Very cool.
Can we (or at least the tournament players) take up a collection so that calicokid can have, or rent one of those 20,000 fps cameras, so others can see his techniques?
