    dude gravity solved the maze. you need to place the maze horizontal like a real indiana jones style and then fill it with water and see if it works. maybe another idea for a new indiana jones / lara croft / nathan drake movie.

    You could build an "hourglass" out of it. Tanks on both sides, one filled, the other empty. In between, the labyrinth. The tank can be rotated in the middle so that the full tank can always be swung upwards.

    Great video, classic mythbuster comedy, lots of clear acrylic, lights camera, lots of water, fervent rush to move all electric to dry place without electricuting yourself 😅, I admit your leaks were quite minuscule. The debate in comments is almost as entertaining as your videos, I got one in my recommendations some time ago, and boy were they right for that one😊. Abit of a goofball science comment, isn't there also a "remarkable" change in atmospheric pressure between the top and the bottom in the "flow stopping" situatiion creating resistance.

    0:54 is the most cool at all, solves immediately without going in the wrong way. I would be nice to see a complicated maze. You managed to fix the leaks with that nice cutting out technique so. Also if you use pressured air, then the solveing would happen emidiateally.

    To solve the air pressure issue you could drill tiny holes into the airtight ends of the maze small enough that air can escape but not enough for water due to its surface tension

    You don’t t need to pour a liquid through a vacuum. You just need to pull a vacuum on the exit. Or you could pressurize the water

    So very cool. Awesome video. The fix to solve it so that the water follows the right path even when it is a "large" maze would be to prefill the maze with clear water first? As far as solving the other version similarly, you could use a membrane as the "floor" of the maze that allows gas to traverse but not liquids. It would be a slower solve, but I think it would work.

    When one ponders on this question, the intuitive answer is Yes. That’s easy. The more difficult question is can you prove it mathematically. It’s like the four color problem. We know that we can color any map in four colors, but the mathematical proof is very very difficult. How can we prove that water can solve any maze that has a path between the entrance and exit. The mathematical proof would be for an idealized maze that ignores most physics (no air, no surface tension, etc.). It would only consider gravity, and it would be a pure path finding problem. I think that’s what the simulation demonstrates but does not prove.

    Jesus is God & He loves you Jesus will soon be seen by all men, women, and children in the clouds. Jesus is returning now! Believe and be saved. Exodus 3:14 (God speaking) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:58 (Jesus speaking) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 10:30 (Jesus speaking) I and my Father are one. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, *The everlasting Father,* The Prince of Peace. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, *God with us.* John 1:1 & 14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh (Lord Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 8:24 (Jesus speaking) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 14:9 (Jesus speaking) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Hebrews 1:1-3, & 8 (God calls His Son "O God" because Jesus IS God in the flesh) 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; *and every eye shall see him,* and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Isaiah 44:6 (God speaking) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:8 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, *the Almighty.* Revelation 22:13 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. --- There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved Romans 3:10 & 23 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking) 31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
