red bull gravity challenge...

Sir Isaac Newton was doubtlessly a clever guy!

but still there are people who try to prove that gravity doen´t exist....

today was the Red Bull gravity challenge and I can tell you that some guys really made it!
Newton´s Law of Gravity has been a couple of times contradicted...

during the challenge more than 35 teams threw an egg supported by an umbrella, for example, from a 15 m high platform. the point was that the egg had to land unbrokenly on a platform where a fried egg was drawn on. the teams got marks for both their creativity and succeding.

pretty fun! especially the try of a team which threw its egg supperted by balloons!
the balloons were inflated with helium (great idea, you may even say!) while a small bag filled with some fluid had to act as a counterweight, so that the whole thing could land slowly..
unfortunately the bag bursted, the fluid spilled and the balloons flew away!
I´m sure that they got the highest mark!!!

I couldn´t watch the whole challenge as I had a lot of things left to do, but maybe tonight at the red bull gravity party I´ll get to know who eventually won!

I´ll keep learning now!

see you!
