The structures appear too symmetrical to be entirely natural; some manipulation or artificial enhancement may be involved.

“At least some of it is too symmetrical to be real.”

The video demonstrates real fluid dynamics principles that can be explained scientifically.

“likely some combination of water, dye, and a thickener of some kind to increase viscosity and surface tension.”

Skepticism emerges about the footage's authenticity
As the video circulates, some viewers question whether the highly symmetrical forms are naturally occurring or artificially created. One commenter notes the structures appear too perfect to be entirely real.

likely some combination of water, dye, and a thickener of some kind to increase viscosity and surface tension. helps the liquid to form these long structures without losing form. the slow-mo helps to show details that get lost in how quickly the actual splash happens

Husband, "that's why kids play with their food." Me, "adults would do that too, if we could watch it in slow motion and not have to clean up the mess!"

My parents used to say I was very messy when I was little, but now I realise I've been an artist all my life.

Now create an equation that explains just what happened…..

AI cartoons, right? What's the big deal?

Damn that's a lot of water and electricity used to make that AI.
-
The principle is sound but this used AI.
-
I have always been fascinated with fluid dynamics.
-
The last one is the best in show, but they are all fantastic! Spirograph with liquids
-
Now I am cynical that we are being inundated with AI slop.
-
So this A.I. crap is what all these data centers support? No thanks.
-
These clips are old and not AI. I remember seeing them around 2019
-
No, everything "digital brain" posts is AI. 🚮
-
True, but this ain't the post for that reply my dude.
-
You've got AI on the brain. Go unplug if you can't admit that science had you fooled
-
You know nothing of fluid dynamics. Hence the high speed camera

High speed camera and the study of fluid dynamics.

OK, I thought this was gonna be cheesy, but that was rad as fuck

These are the kind of things you miss when you move too fast. So I avoid it. In fact I avoid moving at any speed. I'm a living still life

🤷♂️ I’m more of a W🤗W guy but damn that was cool 😎

I watched this 3 times, I'm entranced 😍

Those are very cool displays. Slow mo photpgraphy does allow us to some pretty cool things too fast for the human eye to catch
