“Ink In The Water. Mix One.”

Featured Video Play Icon

In this ASMR video, black ink diffuses in water. When the video starts, the ink is so diffuse that it’s not apparent the video is playing backward. It’s only as specific structures — things like Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities, plumes, and jets — coalesce from the background that we recognize the time reversal. Though it’s probably unintentional, this makes for a neat, subtle commentary on the nature of isotropic turbulence. (Video and image credit: Wryfield Lab)
