i wonder how representative this is of what happens in the real world. i see different sized drops falling from the sky. also, looking closely at the story, there’s this tidbit... “...as it fell through an ascending air stream”. there are no “ascending air streams” in the real world. looking at the pics/video, i could see how an ascending air stream could affect a drop in the way depicted...but normally (sans ascending air stream) drops appear to fall intact.....

I suspect the ascending air stream was used to simulate the distance the drop would fall in the real world. They probably weren’t able to get the budget for a 2 mile long observation chamber.

FALSE.

Completely and utterly false.
