  • Haha gravity doesn't put it out. The glass absorbs the heat.

  • this not fake but the science behind this is that if you balance something on it's balance point which is balancing on that thing's balance point then the weight turns equal due to gravity. BUT the flame was extinguished by the glass not by gravity.

see all

  • The balancing bit is more impressive than the flame dying.

  • good explanation ! idiot !!! back to school !!

  • to the most thumbed up comments...i think his trying to show that the fork and the spoon are suported by nothing but the tip of the burned stick............sigh and they got thumnbed up...more dumb people.

  • :O My mom is on that cup! Holy shit

  • how does the tootpick actually hold the fork and spoon before and after the flame?? that's impossible, unless you did some kind of illusion, because there is nothing that i see there that's able to do it...

  • "You win again thermodynamics!!!"

  • @WaffleFox96 it would appear that there is no weight on the other side but what you think is "glasses" is actually a fork and spoon, it does not matter that there appears to be no weight, if you look at the center of gravity it is balanced on the tooth pick. there is a large mass where the fork and spoon meet, then it goes down (which acts a lever,IE. decreasing the mass needed to counter balance) and the ends of the fork and spoon are just enough to make the center of gravity the tooth pick.

  • "Glass" is actualy concidered a semi-liquid, thus, causing it to be a great conductor, taking away the heat and dispersing it throught the "glass". It then causes it to absorb all the heat, leaving no heat to the toothpick. But what I don't understand, is how does it balance the glasses on one side when on the other has no weight!? Quite possibly a glitch in our universe...galaxy...world?

  • whooptie freakin doo...

  • YOU ARE A WEIRD FUCKER
