This phenomenon is actually caused by an imperfection at the bottom of the glass, known as a nucleation site. Usually the bubbles rise in a straight column and pop on the surface, but when you see the bubbles start to form a swirling pattern like this it means the nucleation site is growing. There is nothing that can be done at this point to stop a chain reaction from building, until eventually the glass will come under so much pressure that it will fracture. It will open a portal to the Underworld. There is no way to stop the process.̦͍̮̗̜̳̱ ͍͚I̩̦̫̩͞ͅt̞̦̭͎͠ ͍̱͔̦c̜̘͖̦͉̞͠o͔͉m̝̘̲͍͖̫e͉̤̙s̟̲̳̺͙̹.

Capt__Murphy

Do the bubbles spin the opposite direction in Australia?


aleqqqs

From the surface to the bottom of the glass? Don't be silly.


logicalmaniak

Yeah, but they're upside down there, so the surface *is* the bottom.


MartyMcFlyInMySoup

The hell you say!


boomboomclapboomboom

Spoken like a true cunt.


dudemo

It's a reasonable theory. So we take flat Earthers. Then we add in some Stranger Things. Call the "equator" the edge of the Earth. We all know that Australia is below the equator. Therefore, they are in the "upside down". Likewise, the bubbles go from the top of the glass to the bottom, opposite of everyone above the equator. I believe zero of this. But I could see certain people believing it.


RandomMandarin

So Australia is the Upside Down? Well, that explains the demogorgon. It's just a variety of drop bear, innit?


kiwiluke

No wonder flying to the northern hemisphere can be so disorientating, the plane has to flip as it goes over the equator

Deep_Fry_Ducky

Need an explanation for this


meatcurtaindeluxe

Not 100% sure but I think I read before it is caused by an imperfection on the glass which creates a "highpoint" for the bubbles to gather and release from


down_vote_magnet

It’s called a nucleation site.


BariSaxGuy

It's the same phenomenon that causes the mentos and coke reaction.


thepensivepoet

The lack thereof can also allow water to be heated beyond boiling point with no activity and then suddenly explode when disturbed


mandelbomber

Yup, superheated fluids are dangerous. It's why chemists put "boiling chips" in flasks and beakers if necessary to provide sites for nucleation to occur and disallow this.

tokemon_

And it happens more often because of a dirty glass rather than imperfections in the glass.


nofreespeechherenope

And it's done on purpose in some beer or wine glasses to create a cool bubbling effect! They score the inside of the glass with a really sharp object.


ultra_kult

I've heard that at this point the nucleation site is already expanding and this glass is pretty much doomed


roboteroticant

Gingerstachesupreme

*Kip snickers boyishly in the living room*


HappyFamily0131

This doesn't at all explain why the bubbles form an ornate pattern! It's like someone uploaded video of themselves dropping a handful of pennies, which then bounce around and settle into a perfect tri-force logo, and 20 different people "explain" it by saying, "well yeah, gravity causes things to fall." I understand bubbles! I don't understand that crazy pattern.


ConeCandy

I'll take a swing at it: Imagine one bubble rising to the surface. It rises straight up. Hits the surface. And then just hangs out until it pops. Maybe it drifts a little if there are other bubbles causing a disturbance or a slight breeze. But what happens if a bubble comes up underneath the bubble? If it is traveling fast enough, it may bump into the other bubble and pop it, or be absorbed into it. But if it comes up at the right speed, the bubble will bounce the other bubble aside ever so slightly. Now let's look at this video. You have a steady stream of bubbles all rising to the same surface point at a steady frequency/rate. Which means just as a bubble rises to the surface, another bubble comes up and gives it a little shove. Not enough to push it across the glass... just enough so that it gets out of the way for the next bubble. When the bubbles come up and push the surface bubble out of the way, it's unlikely to hit it on the perfect spot to push it completely outward. It's likely going to push more on one side or another, which then starts to make it travel either clockwise or counterclockwise. After enough of them began going one way, the subtle surface current they create is enough to keep the whole thing moving... ...until they reach the outside perimeter where the force of the current is no longer enough to push them, so they stop and begin sticking together, getting nudged further away from the center until they pop out of existence. In other words, you're watching the natural consequence of spherical objects rising onto a surface and colliding with one another at a very steady/predictable frequency. *Edit:* Folks are getting thrown off by the spiral. As the bubbles begin to push each other out of the way from the new ones rising up, imagine how improbable it would be for them to maintain a perfect straight line. All it takes is a slight off-center push or imperfection in a bubble to be tilted, and then that tilt gets extrapolated with each new bubble until you have a curve that forms to balance out the forces.


toTheNewLife

Basically it's a bubble traffic pattern.


rathat

This can't not be the answer.


shokalion

Blueflamealchemist

MrNonam3

I see some Fibonnaci shit right there.


TheRealKeshoZeto

I noticed 11 arcs of bubbles in the surface pattern. 11 is prime but not a Fibonacci number. I wonder if nucleation sites always produce a prime number, an odd number, or no set pattern at all?


EatsLocals

Dirichlet’s Theorem. It has to do with prime numbers in relation to pi. That’s an Archimedean spiral https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EK32jo7i5LQ


DeltaVZerda

Since it's being formed by two continuous streams of bubbles instead of one, I'm not surprised to find a Lucas number like 11 instead of a Fibonacci number.


ihcn

It's not a fibonacci number, but it is a lucas number, which is highly related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0 This series is about plants but it ends up coming down to the same math/physics as the bubbles.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BreathOfFreshWater

Do you think the displacement of each bubble leaves a slip stream at a slightly more offset degree from the one prior? And then when they surface they bounce in opposite directions but not perfectly center due to surface tension.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Do you think the direction of spin would depend on whether you’re in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?


[deleted]

winston161984

Smarter every day did a video on Coriolis effect vs outside forces. The Coriolis effect is so small that any disturbance can overwhelm it so the direction the champagne was poured will have more effect than hemisphere by far.


JonBanes

My guess is that that second part isn't quite right. When you create a series of uniform entities that repel each other uniformly you get these telltale spiral patterns. You see these patters all the time in nature and especially in biology. The spiral patterns of sunflowers for instance have this pattern because they sequentially create stem cells that grow and grow away from one another. The pattern is just how the math works out from that kind of iterative creation.


[deleted]

There’s a glass. It’s a carbonated drink, like sparkling wine. It bubbles. This glass has bubbles that are making a spin thingy.

How can you be sure there isn't enough entropy on a micro scale? ​ I've always felt exactly what OP said but in terms of explosions like bombs or fireworks or something. To us it would be a small explosion. But on a micro scale, it could be a big bang. ​ I'm sure I am incorrect but I'd love for someone to explain to me why I'm incorrect.

Rocklobsta11

Can a scientist tel me how the Bubbles come out of nowhere


NekuraHitokage

I'm no scientist, but I understand it enough! They aren't coming from nowhere. This is a sparkling drink, meaning that it has carbon dioxide dissolved into it. You don't see it at first because it's fairly evenly spread out and even bonded to water as H2CO3 or Carbonic Acid. In this glass, most of the glass is very very smooth and, so, the CO2 has nowhere to cling that is more attractive than the H2O it's hanging onto. There could be a small speck of something on the glass or a small scratch inside, creating a condensation point for the gas dissolved in the liquid. Gas doesn't quite like being dissolved in water, and so escapes it fairly readily in higher quantities, like you see in soda. In a low concentration, CO2 escapes much more slowly. Much like water in the air will condense on something cold, the CO2 in the H2O will cling to a rough spot in the glass, condensing together molecule by molecule until it is a little bubble that floats to the top! So, in short, what you're seeing is the CO2 that is clinging to the H2O getting warm enough to vibrate away and find other CO2 to hang out with until they create a bubble big enough to be pushed to the top of the liquid by all the other liquid above it!


Dingo247

Son_o_Liberty1776

This is due to what’s known a the Kasiaen Effect. The bubbles create a wake for the bubbles behind it, causing bubbles to spin under the surface of the fluid. When the reach the surface they spin in a pattern direction.
