Title: The Science Behind Bubbles
Runtime: 0:27
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: In a series of experiments replicating bubble blowing, NYU’s Applied Math Lab has discovered two ways in which bubbles are made: one, by quickly pushing soap film through a circular wand, which causes it to grow, and two, by pushing, at lower speeds, an already-slightly inflated soap film in order to drive additional inflation of the film and forming a bubble—an approach children are likely quite familiar with.

“This might explain how we often blow bubbles as kids: a quick puff bends the film outward and thereafter the film still inflates even as the flow of air slows,” says Leif Ristroph, an assistant professor at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and one of the researchers, referring to the second method.

In light of recent movements and headlining stories of black and brown men and women losing their lives at the hands of law enforcement, the issue of police brutality — while it never left — is brought, again, to the surface. Police brutality and police shootings of unarmed people of color has become an epidemic in our country. Whether it be systemic, interpersonal, ideological, internalized, or institutionalized, oppression and racism are very much intertwined in the fabric of the United States.

The panelists included Andrea Ritchie and Jonathan Capehart who broke down, analyzed and discussed this problem and what we can do to enforce change.
