Everybody knows that when a stone is dropped in water, a jet of
water shoots up. Physicists Detlef Lohse, from the University of
Twente in The Netherlands, and Heinrich Jaeger, of The
University of Chicago, are combining math, theory and super
high-speed videos to try to figure out the basic physics
underlying the jet. Video footage courtesy of Detlef
