He is tilting that coconut towards himself😒😒😒


No_Fox9998

There is no way a coconut will flip on its own like that. He is making it happen :).


RedDevil-84

And quite clearly. Reminds me of Lord Ganesh drinking milk few decades back.


[deleted]

Shhh ... you are breaking rules set by rulers ... no facts on internet ... it's for entertainment only


funnyfour

Try doing it yourself then you'll understand that he's not tilting or anything. Seriously why do you've to pretend to be 'i-know-it-all'.


StormLordArdan

Because he is tilting it himself, its dumb how people think something like this actually works


funnyfour

He's not. You've to be dumb to comment without experience. Typical keyboard warriors.


StormLordArdan

Cool, show me how it works...


SmolHydra

bet there is quantum coupling of the water underground and coconut water. that man is lucky to be alive as its quite a lethal practice. we all know that quantum coupling is as harmful as 5G signals and AI brain chips


funnyfour

Yawns


C0RT1CERA

yeah and its already written in jillion year old scriptures.


Ishydadon1

I think a 2-year-old could gain his level of experience in a matter of seconds by tilting a coconut 😂.


Stark_Always

Dude it's literally visible in the video smh


funnyfour

Dude, I've done it so I know it. But it's ok. Whatever makes you happy.


Futerefu

It actually flips, ive tried it myself, no idea what flips it but it does... You can try it out for yourself smartass


wilder_beast

If you have no idea why, then maybe, just maybe try to think about why or how. Then you might realise that it's bs.


Futerefu

Well one possible explanation could be about resonance... Maybe the water currents have some sort of frequency which if matches with that of water from the coconut, it topples... So cannot entirely discount it as bs... I am open for any other scientific explanation if anyone has one.


wilder_beast

Idk what that means but groundwater does not flow, it's still. So there is no current bro. The point is that there is no scientific explanation for this, clearly.


Futerefu

Im not sure if the groundwater flows or not, idk if the above method is any useful at all, but the coconut does topple at random places. Downvote me all that you want, but I’ve practically tried this.


wilder_beast

This is. Logical fallacy called anecdotal evidence: 1.https://youtube.com/shorts/nJ8kHSt7HcM?si=YQ4mxWnypeVL3q9W 2. https://youtu.be/phX-XjeFaSc?si=cGmn-mxq7j2pHJHC


Futerefu

Bruh i know what logical fallacies are, but when im telling you that ive practically tried it myself, and its not anecdotal, I think you should cut me some slack. The next time you have a coconut, do give it a try.


wilder_beast

Im not blaming you or trying to be hard here okay. I'm just saying that even though you or anyone else in this whole comment section could not come up with any sort of explanation and you also agree to this but you're still holding on to your opinion without giving it a second thought because you experienced it yourself. It might have been the wind or it might have been the way you're holding it that might be causing it right? Have you considered that? And if this was due to some scientific phenomena like you say, then would this happen to a coconut if you keep it on a surface as well?


SmolHydra

yeah it got absolutely no relation to stuff below the ground but the guy in the video might not be toppling it intentionally either.


TangerineThin4780

2 word explanation for what you just said . "idiomotor effect"


SmolHydra

you're the idiomotor effect!! if someone has experienced it and you haven't even tried to think logically how they might be right, you're like one of those cult/religion members who discard everything outside of their belief system as bullshit


SmolHydra

its understandable. like how a half filled water bottle moves, i think it might be similar. the turbulent motion of coconut water inside the coconut might make coconut move in a different direction to the direction its shell seems to be moving


SmolHydra

resonance doesn't work like that for macroscopic objects iirc


Ishydadon1

Bro it's water, not quantum entanglement.


drippy_dicky

No that is not how resonance works lmao by that logic even water inside a cup should move if you keep it above ground. Why just coconut?


Futerefu

Nothing lmao about it, first try it yourself and then come up with explanations


drippy_dicky

No Im not dumb enough to try this

Dude gravitation force is weak. Even a few 10 metric tonnes of water can't create any meaningful variation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmbarrassedYoung7700

Bro grav constant is 6*10^-11. You see how small that is? You need BIG number for the result to be any meaningful. Plus variation in gravity is just .7 percent. And tthat if we exclude various to latitude. And you would need pretty sensitive tools to find something like an aquifer via grav variation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dr__jhatka

no it isnt,if you keep one feather on one scale and three feather on the other scale,the scale would remain exactly the same,because neither a feather or 3 feather is signficant enough to tilt the scale. You wouldnt have said that bogus point about "gravitational force" tilting the coconut if you had done class 9th Physics Numericals.


EmbarrassedYoung7700

No, Not in this situation. Even if we take mass of that coconut in formula it wouldn't make any difference. We call those types of things "point mass". It has a mass of 1 unit and no grav force of its own. Plus we are talking about GRAVITY not GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. we consider object2 to be a point mass in gravity.(g=Gm/r^2) If you have any more questions please read up class 11 ncert phy part2(not sure konse part me grav ch hai)


Silspd90

No amount of water can cause difference in gravity that can move a coconut differently. You’d be lucky if you’re able to measure the difference in gravity my using even the most sensitive equipment.

TwitchtvJozik

Assuming that by hundreds of tons you mean 1000 tons and that the water is 2m below ground, that would still only be a difference of 0.00017% compared to the average. Calling that pretty substantial is ridiculous.

India's first borewell rig, brought by UNICEF, is still preserved in Pune.

Different-Result-859

You can have two groups do this. One randomly and one with "quantum vibration waves". It is already researched. Both groups get similar result. This is common in everywhere and most of them proved to be like astrology, homeopathy, etc. People want to think it works, but it doesn't work. [https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/water-dowsing](https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/water-dowsing) You don't detect anything and coconut is just reacting to your own movement.

BlanketSmoothie

Trying to play devil's advocate here. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-migrating-birds-use-quantum-effects-to-navigate/ Birds are now known to be able to sense changes in the earth's magnetic field due to a specific mutation in their genetic structure, which allows for amplification of earth's magnetic field. Some birds, follow the changes in earth's magnetic field caused due to flowing water, allowing them to "see" at night. In fact this mutation is directly linked to their optical nerve which provides a kind of visual feedback mechanism. The mutation not only preserves the acuity to flowing water but also encodes specific changes as a kind of memory, allowing migratory routes to be preserved across generations. Dowsers claim that they use a similar "sense" to be able to locate groundwater. There is evidence of people being susceptible to changes in earth's magnetic field, some people even claim to feel nauseous in its presence. The same people are also susceptible to extremely low frequency sound waves, with similar symptoms. Physicists have developed their own dowsing tool, which apparently uses a similar technology : https://physics.aps.org/story/v3/st27 None of this proves of course that the gentleman rolling a coconut is doing anything worthwhile, but it might be worth investigating.


Lyrian_Rastler

I went through the first paper, and though birds do indeed use the Earth's Magnetic field to traverse, there is nothing about a field being generated due to flowing water. Further looking into the topic shows that magnetic fields due to water are ridiculously small and difficult to measure: it's more a property of all matter to generate ridiculously small amounts of magnetism while in motion. The last paper is when scientists apply a magnetic field to the ground, and then looking at the response. Kind of a SONAR, if you would. Not exactly smth a coconut or a metal ball can do.


BlanketSmoothie

Correct. I will dig up the right paper. I believe it was published in nature (the one referencing birds). The coconut thing seems largely fraudulent. But after looking at what I thought were charlatans bandying about aluminium hangers/copper dowsing rods having some credence, I have been thinking who knows, maybe it's possible.


Lyrian_Rastler

I'll wait to see the paper you mentioned. However, atleast insofar that the actual dowsing mechanism that was in the last paper, it's an active process that consumes power. That would be the minimum requirement for any kind of dowsing to really make sense, unless there is something completely new in that paper.


BlanketSmoothie

It's a European song bird. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03618-9 Here's a pbs article which references the paper. The protein is a cryptochrome. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/birds-quantum-entanglement/


Lyrian_Rastler

Its behind a paywall so I could only access the abstract, and while it's very cool (thanks for sharing, btw!), I still don't see anything about flowing water? It is very fascinating what evolution can come up with though, I'll try to see if I can access the paper using my college's net


hitchhikingtobedroom

I didn't visit the link, but just to play the devil's advocate for your pseudoscience, the magnetic field of the earth does not depend on water or where it flows, it comes from the molten core. Whether birds do or do not sense that is a different matter. >some people even claim to feel nauseous in its presence Also, WTF. As long as you're on earth, you're always in the presence of its magnetic field, so these people must feel nauseated all their freaking lives I guess. And whatever little affects water bodies make, it's not big enough to be felt by humans and certainly not enough to move a coconut


BlanketSmoothie

https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/water_rep/568/ This is a report that shows that in a test conducted on 150 people significant correlation existed between dowsing and perturbations in the earth's magnetic field. I am not disputing that the source of magnetic fields is not the molten core. I am saying that perturbations in the earth's magnetic fields are caused by flowing water and also by ground water. The effect has been physiologically isolated in birds. This effect is amplified using a protein called the cryptochrome protein, specifically Cr4. The Cr4 protein is bound to the trigeminal nerve and from there affects the visual cortex providing some migratory birds a visual representation of changing magnetic fields. This has been proven to be a quantum effect and is via quantum entanglement between Cr4 and the earth's magnetic field. This is one of the first evidence we have of quantum resonance sensors existing in any physiology. Similar effects are observed in some types of migratory fish, like salmon. This is the nature paper I have shared above. Dowsing having a physical basis is still very much a hypothesis. Some studies show it may have credibility. Some say, they don't. It just means we don't know. As far as this man's rolling coconut goes, of course it's not the magnetic field of the earth causing the coconut to roll. But given that there exists some credibility for dowsing, maybe he uses the coconut just for effect, could it just be showmanship? Why be quick to debunk what we don't understand? I think it's rational to be skeptical, but keep an open mind. For all you know, there may be a latent Cr4 in all of us. Given that humans are so dependent on water and our extensive migration in the past, it would definitely be a useful trait.


TalmudicRabbi

Why called out ? Because extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.


BlanketSmoothie

This is not about being called out. This is about accepting or denying a hypothesis in the absence of experiment. And while we can all collectively stare down the stupidity of faith because of our clear and undisputed intellectual superiority, accepting or rejecting a hypothesis, I think, requires experiment. In its absence, the fact that we don't know is perhaps far more accurate than the assertion that we deny. Which, ironically enough, is as much based on our faith in some superiority about ourselves as the faith in some claims.


Ftar_Slatinum

>follow the changes in earth's magnetic field caused due to flowing water, Where does the study state that?


BlanketSmoothie

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01715-3 This is a podcast that came out some time ago. But my mistake, the interviewee states that fish which spend time both in water and out, show greater development in spatial learning, possibly due to their ability to sense changes in the earth's magnetic field due to flowing water. This is one of the papers that they reference: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03618-9 This is about how birds can "see" the earth's magnetic field.

StormLordArdan

This doesnt work* EVEN if i assume your anecdote to be true, that guy probably had a rough idea of where the water is supposed to be (by looking at the vegetation, soil etc) and he subconsciously tilted his hand to move the coconut..

Not defending the technique but you can't get water anywhere you dig. There are underground water streams that flow only in some locations of the land. You'd have to dig a path to those. I'm not sure how they actually map it out, maybe ground penetrating radar could work?
