#1158: Rubber Sheet explain

Rubber Sheet

[Beret guy is standing on a giant bowling ball on a rubber sheet. Megan is watching.]

Beret Guy: Imagine a giant bowling ball on a rubber sheet.

Beret Guy: The ball’s weight makes a dent in the sheet.

[A rope is pulling the ball down into the sheet.]

Beret Guy: Now imagine a rope that pulls the ball down even further.

Beret Guy: …Annnnd…

[Rope lets go. Ball is catapulted with Beret Guy on it.]

BOOOIING

Beret Guy: Wheee

[Beret guy and ball are falling back down.]

Megan: …Oh. I thought this was about physics.

Beret Guy: Imagining is fun!
