Dustin is a pretty smart dude. Every clip I've seen from him has been good.

I actually knew this from hauling party balloons in vans/cars for many birthdays. Try several with one of the windows cracked. You will learn to hate Helium balloons.

Thanks PickelledEggs! I just love it when parents teach their children science instead of superstitious nonsense and magical thinking. Solitary

I saw an explanation of this on Newtons Apple. Really old Newton's Apple, when Ira Flatow was the host.

Ah, memories!

Yeah, Come to think of it, I noticed that when I had a balloon in my car. I thought it was going to the front because I had an air leak in my front window though. I never even thought to consider that there was a complete different explanation.

I liked the fact that it seems counterintuitive and isn't. Like the earth going around the sun and it is.  I love science! Solitary

This is a great way to get children interested in science. Even at the age of five, they can learn complex physics if it is taught in a way that is fun and interesting.

Nice way to demonstrate why intuitive thinking can and does fail us.

Cool video.  Seem's like a pretty cool dad to boot.
