pitch drop experiment

The pitch drop experiment has been running at the University of Queensland since 1927.

He started the famous pitch drop experiment there.

A particularly interesting one is pitch, as demonstrated in the pitch drop experiment currently running at the University of Queensland.

The pitch drop experiment is a long-term experiment which measures the flow of a piece of pitch over many years.

Professor Thomas Parnell begins the pitch drop experiment at the University of Queensland.

The pitch drop experiment, which features tar pitch slowly dripping through a funnel at a rate of nine drops in 81 years, actually made an unseen drop while on display.

In October 2005 he was posthumously awarded the Ig Nobel prize for Physics for the pitch drop experiment, along with the experiment's current custodian, John Mainstone.

In October 2005, John Mainstone and the late Thomas Parnell were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics, a parody of the Nobel Prize, for the pitch drop experiment.

The pitch drop experiment is on public display on Level 2 of Parnell Building in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland.
