I show you on odd effect of swimming in syrup vs water

@Shoka Lgbt who?
You’re on point 😂 absolutely 🥰
Literally😂😂
For a moment there I thought he was going to swim in syrup to test the theory 🙂. Surprising result though .
I think mythbusters did this once in a swimming pool with syrup
I think he did that in a different video too
@Preston Scott nope, honey
@IronIsKing would there be any difference?
Imagine getting out of the pool of syrup. Imagine how sticky you would be
@Ray Clemenes they’re gonna have to call a SWAT team on you after that
*I should call her*
ANYTHING BUT THE BEES
@mishmash65 go join the rest of sonic fans
It’s amazing how many people haven’t seen mythbusters. They did this long ago and actually made a swimming pool with syrup.
Turns out that this scales up too. You can swim approximately as fast in a vacuum as you can in solid rock.
@Shraddha’s Kitchen oh I didn’t watch golden wind yet lmao but adds up. some other guy replied “yo angelo” so i assumed my initial thought was right lol
yea i tried this, I swam about the same speed with my timer
@Matt Michaels bro you’re being a pedant. even when physicists refer to something as “being done in a vacuum” they mean there’s no other matter around to interact with the object in question. if you go into a uni class and the professor says “what force would it take to accelerate a 1,000,000kg space shuttle to 10,000m/s in 2 seconds, assume this takes place in a vacuum”, and you answered with “trick question, nothing can occur in a vacuum because there’s no matter!” your professor is just gonna call you an idiot.
@The Bilby definitely wasn’t an intentional jojo reference lmao, there just happens to be multiple jojo characters that can be vaguely related to the comment.
@Matt Michaels meant to reply to the other guy with the physics comment, i agree with you.
Wouldn’t you have to use more force in the more viscous one so you would tire faster and in the long run be slower?
@Bamb8s I don’t think this entirely holds up tbh, I competitively swam for a while and one of the drills we’d do is putting paddles on our hands so there was more resistance in the water. We’d swim faster, but your arms would tire so quickly, hence why it was a pretty grueling drill.
@Ziggy Hixson That s different. This has to do with how muscules work. The drill is more tiring bc u need more power for each swing. The issue is that muscules aren t good at the “strength stamina” (as a non native english speaker this may not be understandable) required for such activities and that s the cause of the fatigue
@Bamb8s man, that only sounds true, and may be valid for a few strokes – think about it, getting your arm out of the water and pushing it forward would get way too hard very fast the more viscous it gets.
@Ziggy Hixson sounds logical but also not at the same time. Compare with flippers which make you go faster with less effort.
@Bamb8s not the surface tension, the viscosity
This man always answers the questions I never knew I needed to know
Anecdotally speaking from just my own experience, I think the higher viscosity would be more difficult to swim through. I think it’s because of the breathing aspect. In regular water, you rely on the water to fall off your face quickly enough for you to catch a breath. I don’t think it would be as easy with the syrupy liquid.
I woke up today, wondering about Syrup swimming!!! I’m not making this up!!! 😂😂😂
You are though.
@J O omg! 😂 that’s hilarious
yeah
Well you have your answer now!
The algorithm knows too much
Well, you have to take in account that the turtles float a lot and most of their bodies is out of the liquid, so that part has almost no friction. In the case of a person the wetted area would be higher, so the results would probably be a win for the water.
I was just paying attention to how cute the turtles were.
