Non-Newtonian Fluid in Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys

For some reason, people are confused as to why these videos don't get uploaded at 60fps (1080p60). I don't even upload videos at 30fps. I upload at 25. Here is why: If I film one second of time at 1000fps and play it back at 25fps. That one second I just filmed will take 40 seconds to play back (40x slower) because 1000/25=40. If I then take the same second that I just filmed and played it back at 60fps, it would only take 16 seconds to play back (16x slower) because 1000/60=16.6. The whole point of the channel is showing stuff slow. If I have the choice of playing something back 40x slower than your eye can see or 16x slower, I'm obviously going to pick 40x slower. That is also the reason I upload at 25fps and not 30fps. When it comes down to it, slow motion comes from the relationship between filming speed and play back speed. If filming speed is higher than playback speed, you get slow motion. If filming speed is slower than playback speed, you get time lapse. Taking that to the extreme, if I shot something at 1000fps and played it back at 1000fps, it would be the same as watching it in real time. Hope that clears it up for you. -Gavin

If they made it purple it would be like a living ditto.

It's bizarre that ultra HD slo-mo looks less real

did anyone notice that between 2:29 to 2:34 looks like a failed hi-five?

The speaker moving in Slow-Mo looks like a mechanical Heart Pump for robots. Sounds like it too...

this looked animated

That awkward moment when non-Newtonian fluid has better dance moves than you...

3:40 lmao it looks like a sad face like it's disappointed that it's done dancing.

...Wow it looks like CGI

Wow that looks so fake/animated! Obviously it isn't, but that's pretty damn cool!

looks like some really bad animation of water in zero gravity

it legit looks like an animation

This looks so surreal. It looks animated.

I like to think this is what Dittos are made of.

For those who don't know what non Newtonian Liquid is, it's a special mixture that gets more solid the more force is applied to it. This specific liquid they made has a short name, Oobleck. It could run through your fingers like a liquid but can bounce the force of a hammer like a solid. It's kinda like silly putty. You can see the solid in action when Dan tries to get it out.

looks like one of the gels in portal 2

that was totally rad

THATS FUCKING LEVITATING WTF WHAT WITCHCRAFT IS THIS

So weird how it looks like some crappy CGI when its moving, I wonder if its just the unnatural nature of it

Looks like the beginnings of alien life - just before it grows and begins consuming everything in its path.
