I didn’t learn about surface tension until middle school…and didn’t understand it until way after that.
When the soda is poured into the glass and the fizz starts speeding up the glass faster than anyone expected and it goes all the way to the lip of the glass… and then goes PAST the top of the glass…how high can it go before it spills over?!
That tension. That’s where the good stuff is. On the edge. This could be the biggest magical dome of fizz that anyone has ever seen…or all at once it could spill over the side and we’re yelling for paper towels.
