  • if this videos doesent make you beliv in god what does. how can a bird like this be created by a big bang. you see fire works banging, they dont creat birds with anti gravity beaks. this is evidence that god is real, fact.

    face upto the facts non-belivers, god is real! you will be judged in 2012 then you will be sorry

  • @crackerstolemybike Mate shutup with your god mumbo jumbo.

  • @crackerstolemybike Anyone who thinks the big bang was an explosion has no idea on what there talking about go back to school you numb minded fool.

  • yea, well my dick not only defies gravity, but it breaks the 2nd law of thermodynamics

  • my tweezers defy gravity

  • no, it doesn't. it proves there is still information as of yet unknown to us. this is probably caused by the water droplet wanting to be a sphere, as said by vegata897

  • Cool. Is anyone aware that pharalopes not only have this awesome way of feeding, but that the females are also the dominant, more coloful sex, and leave parenthood to each of several drabber males, unlike most other birds?

  • lol i just defied gravity.

    nothing special here.

  • Good, now want a cookie?

    Tha point of Science is to do just that idiot.

  • This particular bullshit might be useless, but not all science.

    For example, Tesla's work with transmitting energy, electrical and magnetic research allow you and me to converse even if we are on opposite sides of the planet.

    A lot of research is just a way for a young scientist to discover something and become popular in the scientific community. IE its useless.

    But hey, don't judge all the apples on a tree just because a few thousand are rotten. There may be one that isn't.

  • O_O...nerd LOLOLOLOLOL jk!

  • How idiotic can someone be , to say scientific research is useless. If not for scientific approach , humanity would still be in the stone age , living in a cave and doing their needs in a HOLE. respect.

  • UM WHAT? wtf are you saying. if its so useless then why are you using a freaking computer right now to comment on this video

  • i guess ure useless and if scince is useless y did u een bother seeing video moron

  • actually physically everything defies gravity because of the electromagnetism of our atoms.

    we're not really touching the ground, but leviating at a super super small level.. :)

  • actually nothing 'defies' gravity it is just acted on by a stronger force. Pwned.

  • Water drops flow up the beak because a droplet will want to go to the shape of a perfect sphere, yet the water sticks to the edges of the beak, so in order to attain sphere shape (or as close as it can get to it) it travels upward where the edges of the beak are closer together.

  • That's exactly correct. You're not understanding something here. The water droplet WANTS to be a sphere, but it isn't because it's sticking to the beak. In order to get CLOSER to sphere shape, it has to go where the beak is more closed, which is upward.

  • It only needs to move toward the area of the beak that is more closed if the water sticks to the beak though other wise it would just pull off of the beak and form a sphere at the bottom of the beak rather than pulling itself up. That is why oil spills mess up the ability to do this little trick; it coats the beak in oil and therefore allows the water to form a sphere at the bottom of the beak as opposed to sliding up.

  • wow they sure defied gravity by drinking water. u kno wat? im a little thirsty im going to go defy some gravity.

  • thanks so much Mr.Video man. that was the most educational experience of my life...

  • Climbing up stairs isnt defy gravity. The stairs have gravity itself and its like jumping. Its two forces pushing gaist eachother. That why we can jump.

  • haha but dont you think the gravity of the earth is just a little bit greater than that of us or the stairs? :P

  • how is that defying gravity?

  • goes against it to if you climb the stairs youre still defying gravity

  • LOL

  • No you're not, you're using your own energy to move yourself along without even leaving the ground. Not sure what you think your point is, but its wrong.

  • trust me to defy gravity is to move a little bit further away from its the centre of its source. to gain more potential energy, or height. when we jump there's nothing to keep us from turning this potential energy back into movement, or kinetic energy. so we return to the previous position. if we climb the stairs we do defy gravity but there's a resultant force always acting on us from underneath to keep us there.

  • but if to defy gravity is to get away from it permanently that's impossible as it has an infinite field, so goes on forever. unless your tony hawk, michael jordan or the incredible hulk.

  • Wtf MIT? Where's my flying H2O car and hoverboard at?

  • Well, that was educational!

    I have to admit though, when I clicked on thsi vid, I half-expected to see birds..ummm..defy..gravity...w­ait they already do that!

    O_<

  • natural free energy device lol.

  • how is that in anyway a free energy device

  • Wow you definatly watched the video

  • no the truth is that they built up robots and try to do the same thing as the birds :P:P

  • I did, and they taste rather good too.

  • Wow, you failed so hard right now.

  • great water pump xD

  • Very good!

  • maybe theres an invention in there something.. i see... a device that defys gravity and get beer in my mouth.

  • they already have that, it's called a keg stand

  • damn it! there goes my dream

  • Emm, how exactly are the birds supposed to "be careful" if there's been an oil spill in the area? They're just dumb animals. I think you meant to say that humans need to be careful not to spill the oil in the first place...

  • These were the birds that work on the oil rigs.

  • lmao lmao =)

  • science and nature....two of my favorite things!

  • its a devil bird!

  • I love this stuff

  • Oh Capillary action... And I thought this was going to lead to my much coveted hover board.

  • Yeah, that's what I thought of; I didn't see anything spectacularly different going on.

  • natural selection is amazing

  • I am glad humans don't have beaks oral sex would hurt.

  • you would eveolve beak proof genitalia

  • how the fok do they learn this its amazing and proof animals arent dumb at all and like us they being tweaked with by higher intelligences

  • might want to change the title so creationists dont quotemine or sumthing

  • Ahhhh science and nature get me all excited! :D

  • Suppose they aren't on the top of the food chain for a reason!

  • damn dude thats crazy!

  • We could create giant beaks and send people from earth to any space station via jets of water provided they have some sort of breathing mechanism. It would be a sort of backwards slip-n-slide.

  • That is so cool. Fuck fossil fuels, fuck the oil companies. Science is supreme.

    XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

  • The use of fossil fuels and oil is scientific. What makes you think it isn't?

  • If a bird is in an oil spill, oil coating its beak is just the beginning of its problems.

  • @dafttool good thing there is no oil spills right now ... ohhh bp u idiot
