Slow motion pictures ... what happens as a drop of fluid hits a surface. And one particularly stubborn aspect—why do you get lift-off (a precursor to a splash) near the end of the impact?— ...

So let's kick off some slow-motion fun starting with water balloons in the above video. And before you start moaning and groaning about how they've been done before, I would argue that slow-motion ...
