The Truth Behind the Raindrop
A friend recently accused me of looking round the choosing the first thing I clapped eyes on to do a blog post about. In order to refute this allegation, this post is about raindrops. OK, it was a bit drizzly this morning.
But in reality, a French university (Aix-Marseille) have been investigating the raindrop in all it’s thrilling complexity. You can’t accuse the French of scraping the barrel when it comes to research. Apparently, raindrops kind of balloon out whilst falling and then disintegrate into tiny drops. This news is likely to change the course of all raindrop research, probably forever.
It seems a shame that the only country that’s actually famous for rain (that’s us) hasn’t managed to pioneer this research first. The French probably just did it to annoy us. But I have to hand it them, they’ve produced some pretty fabulous footage of raindrops falling.
Not only have our friends across the channel started creating black holes underground (with their particle accellerator thing), but they’ve also uncovered the final mysteries of the raindrop.
Is nothing sacred?
