Context: The pitch (bitumen) drop experiment is the world’s longest running experiment. Started in 1927 by Thomas Parnell of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. In 2014 the 9th drop fell, with the 10th still in process. This experiment has allowed them to calculate the bitumen to have a viscosity of approximately 230 billion times that of water

It also, famously, is elusive to being observed dripping. One researcher got up for just minutes to use the restroom only to come back to see he had missed it. (this is before portable cameras were widely available)
I’m questioning that scientists dedication if they didn’t even have a piss jar setup.
I mean, that throne doesn’t build itself.
Then they wouldn’t’ve slammed the bathroom door, causing it to drip
If they had a portable camera they would have brought it with them and filmed the viscosity of piss drips off the tip. That is already pretty well observed.
2027 probably gonna be lit
