quantum mechanics - The bizarre behaviour of superfluids! Climbing up walls and geting out of glass beakers



SUPERFLUIDITY:


Superfluidity is one of the most amazing quantum phenomena, which we can sit and watch them happening before our eyes! Watch this video, it is only a couple of minutes long, which will bring you face-to-face with quantum mechanics in all its beauty. Then take a look at the questions below.

QUESTIONS:


A superfluid has the amazing ability to climb up the walls of the glass container that it is in: Does it defy gravity?


A superfluid can get out through the walls of the glass container: Quantum tunnelling in action before our eyes?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
