Published on Dec 29, 2016 and already over 4 MILLION views!

That gives you a really good idea of how awesome and viral this video has
become!

I thank both David Duthie and my son for independently making sure I was
aware of this video earlier today.

What you see below is a bullet being fired at a Prince Rupert’s Drop, bullet
fragments, and the shock wave travelling FROM THE TAIL!

The video starts in the Library of the Royal Society, with the Head
Librarian showing a letter dated 1660 

(also the year of founding of the Royal Society) by Sir Robert Moray which
contains this image:

The inscription is: “Solis a kingdom One and Strong; but when the top is
broken shivers into Men."

 

p.s. Bonus points for those paying close attention to the video, two seconds
in, did you see the three large red tanks 

of Tyco/Ansul “Inergen” inert gas mixture (Nitrogen, Argon, and CO2) for
fire suppression (Halon replacement) .

 

Enjoy,
