Day 246...New Years Eve

Day 246...

Happy New Years Eve!

I read this amazing article from the Wall Street Journal about the science of a cork popping from a bottle of champagne.  Did you know because of the pressure, the glass bottle is almost twice as thick as a standard wine bottle?  Here is the article.  It is a paid subscription site, however, if you are on an apple device, it is free.

Take a look at the slow motion of the cork popping.  Did you also know that if it wasn't for the cage and sealed top, the cork would pop by itself?
