- Physicists love conducting strange, if not wholly bizarre and seemingly dangerous, experiments in order to showcase whatever scientific principles they’re trying to impart to students or the public at large.
Most recently, physicist Andreas Wahl decided it’d be a grand idea to hop into a pool with a loaded gun and, you know, try to shoot himself underwater. Of course, given that water is much denser than air, Wahl’s underlying point was that he wasn’t really putting himself in danger at all. Still, it takes a whole lot of guts to go through with a maneuver like this.
-As you can see in the video above, Wahl set up a gun underwater and affixed it with a string so that he could pull the trigger himself. A slow motion camera strategically positioned adjacent to the gun captures the entire chain of events in crisp detail.
“It’s harder to create movement in water than in air, because water molecules are closer together than air molecules,” the YouTube description reads. “To show the difference in resistance, physicist Andreas Wahl puts himself in front of a weapon submerged in water and fires it – on himself.”
