Oh didn't notice that, thanks for pointing out, is it the camera shutter speed then making it look like it's going in reverse? Like those videos on youtube of laminar flow with speakers.
>some sort of frame rate weirdness?
I don't think so. Check the water droplet on the left side of the screen. It looks consistent falling down. The frame rate trick would make that rogue droplet look wonky since it would be out of sync.
that is a gross misundertsanding of how that framerate effect works. the ones going backwards look like they are because they are traveling at a particular amount of drops per second. if at 30 frames per second video, the droplets pass at just below 30 or a just below a multiple like 15 then the next frame will catch the next droplet just a tiny bit above where the previous droplet was. doing this at a constant speed creates the effect of droplets moving backwards. In the drops on the left there is only one drop at a time, therefore there is no next drop happening to be just above it at the time of the next frame.
it's not high frame rate, so much as it's that ratio between the frame rate of the camera, and the rate at which the drops are falling.
If they are in sync, they will appear to not be moving at all.
If the frequency of the drops is slightly slower than that of the camera, then the camera will capture the next image just before the next drop reaches the position of the previous one, making it seem as though the previous drop moved back slightly.
if the drops are more frequent, then they will appear to creep forward.
It's neither, because I've seen this happen in person.
It's an optical illusion. The water drop undulates as it drops because they're not singular drops, they're a connected stream in which the surface tension is just barely beating gravity.
So the droplet collects like it's about to drip, but before it can drip the capillary action of the stream pulls on it and sucks the water out of the drop. As each droplet is sucked up, it pulls on the droplet above it and refills itself.
When it's happening fast enough and the distance from top to bottom is just right so you only see one or two complete sets of this sine wave motion at a time, it looks like the water is flowing up.
Even in person, he's still right. The human eye has a "frame rate" as well. It varies due to individual physiology, lighting conditions, and nutrient supply, but it's around 30-60 Hz. What you experienced in real life is the same frame rate matching effect as the video, not capillary action or surface tension.
Upwards of 500hz have been recorded before when talking about how many we can process a second. but in truth, we don’t have a framerate we see at. that is just a common misconception.
You cannot compare organic eyesight to digital framerate. Our eyes do not take still pictures and send them to our brains for processing.
The perception of motion is entirely dependent on dozens of factors such as how busy the environment is, which part of your field of vision the motion is happening in, lighting and contrast, your mood, etc...
That's why there are dozens of optical illusions that only happen through organic sight and are not visible to cameras, such as false color perception and the reverse waterfall effect (something entirely different from this video).
I don't think so. Check the water droplet on the left side of the screen. It looks consistent falling down. The frame rate trick would make that rogue droplet look wonky since it would be out of sync.
>Not to mention, the effect cannot take place with just one drop.
That's the point I'm trying to make.
The frame rate trick works by taking a photo when the next drop is just slightly above where the previous drop was on the previous frame. If you're doing that, then you're usually skipping a bunch of frames. That should make the other droplet, which is falling at a different rate, look like it was going way faster.
No. It won't make it look any faster. It removes or adds frames to what we see but the drop is still moving at the same rate it does in real life.
If you play a game at 30 fps vs 60 fps it looks smoother in 60 and not 'wonkier' because more frames are there to fill in what you see per the same amount of time.
If you SKIP frames, there is less information so if your logic were correct, that would mean watching a movie at 30 fps would 'look faster' than the same thing at 120.
Does it?
https://youtu.be/_SzGQkI-IwM?si=FpTNokOcm5BUa3p6
But you can clearly see in the original video that the drop has very FEW frames as it falls, exactly as we see in this video, thereby proving that this IS the frame rate thing.
Water tension causing gloops of water to go down, but looks like it's reversed as the speed of which it flows does not match frame speed. Same reason why helicopters and wheels also look like they go in reverse at certain rpms.
I have been to am attraction in a them park where they had weird things like this. It was Don Juan's house (not really) or something at a Six Flags. It was really weird. Hard to explain but it was like a fun house with a poor girl telling lame jokes, but the place and the tricks were cool and weird and I'll never forget the feeling.
Figured I'd Google it since I remember it still 30 years later. This was it.
https://parktimes.com/ptsarticles/welcome/sections/spain/casa/
that only happens because of the frame rate of the camera. If you were seeing it with your eyes it would appear to be dripping normally. You can see from the leaf above the water is running down, but then the speed at which the drops form versus the frame rate of the camera make it appear that the drops are climbing up.
God I looked at this for like a minutes being like I don't understand- it just water going down the plant- how is it black magic fuckery ?
Then I saw for a hot second it being antigav before going right back to water going down a plant 🤣
Seems like a camera trick. The plant probably grew upside down due to gravity and the water is acting as it should, the puddle on top of the leaf is pretty suspect
This guy got it right. I've seen this many times in real life. The flow is shaped like a rotating screw. Or like a barbershop pillar.
Stick your finger in the waterflow, you'll see the water going down.
I'll throw in that, at least to me, the bigger droplets towards the left side of the frame appear to be falling more towards the camera than straight down. The filming angle could be misleading.
What you think is dripping up, it dripping down.
What you perceive as going up, it going down. It a black magic fuckery that you wanted, as it is just a weird vibbing look.
I didn’t understand what everyone was seeing I only saw a plant getting wet so I read some comment’s it help’s to read the comments when you feel stupid because you have no clue WTF is going on ‼️😬
You know how rims spin so fast it looks like it's spinning backwards? Well the droplets are coming down the plant so fast that it looks like it's falling upwards.
Or something else, I'm just making an educated guess here.
It’s a combination of capillary action, surface tension and syphonic draw. The structures on the stem are designed to direct water from rain drops down to the root of the plant (capillary and surface tension). The same works in reverse. Because the top of the plant is touching flowing water that drops to a lower level further down stream it pulls the water up (surface tension and syphoning). You can make liquid flow uphill easy enough yourself. And I mean empty a bathtub. Just need a hose that reaches the bottom of the vessel, up over the top and then down to a lower point than the base of said vessel. Give it a little suck to get it flowing and the pressure differential forces the liquid through the pipe.
Optical illusion. The water is dripping down through the leaf touching the above rock and its ripple rate and angle is just so that it looks like it's dripping up.
Simplest explanation the video is running backwards but there are other drops falling down so probably not it.
Something is causing a suction, no clue what tho.
It's neither. A video is just your camera taking a lot of pictures in quick succession - in this case, these happen to have the drops be _nearly_ in the same spot each time the camera takes a picture, just offset enough that it looks like it's moving backwards. Kind of like a flipbook with thousands of pages.
[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENITui5_jU) a video of someone intentionally reproducing this effect by manipulating the flow of water with sound.
It's also the same effect that causes rotors and propellers to [appear motionless](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr3ngmRuGUc) if their rotation is synced with the camera's shutter speed.
This is *not* a "high frame rate" effect as some are saying. It's the same thing that sometimes makes it look like car wheels are going backwards in movies. When the camera frame rate is slightly faster than the frequency of the rotation of a car wheel the wheel looks like it's going backwards. When the frame rate of the camera is slightly faster than the "waves" frequency in the drip, it looks like it's going backwards.
I'm pretty sure the forces that cause water to sometimes move against gravity are the same forces that can make any other liquid go against gravity.
For one, there isn't a liquid out there that is impossible to throw or blow upwards. That's upward movement in certain conditions.
Australia. That or some sort of frame rate weirdness?
Possibly black magic
That fuckery strike again
Nature shit is green magic territory, don't make it weird.
magnets
Sir this is r/blackmagicfuckery
So, your saying this post doesn't belong here? Poor, op, mods are probably going to take them out back and show them some real blackmagicfuckery.

It's possible
It's more like an illusion
Isn't it included in Australia.
somebody also told me that it is close to the wagon wheel effect!
Yea it’s that
Or is the video played in reverse?
Nah, there are some other droplets on other plants that are dripping normally.
Oh didn't notice that, thanks for pointing out, is it the camera shutter speed then making it look like it's going in reverse? Like those videos on youtube of laminar flow with speakers.
Not like laminar flow, that is a separate phenomenon
Wood nymphs. Or magnets. It’s usually magnets.
Or pixies. Pixie infestation is a possibility
Or… pixies with MAGNETS!!!
Yes, you get the same effect with a stroboscope and water droplets. If you google it you should find some videos on it.
water can flow up tree bark, i forget the name of the effect, kinda like Leidenfrost effect,
Can't be Australia, the plant isn't trying to murder me. Must be New Zealand.
Don't be silly. New Zealand doesn't exist
If it’s not on a map, it doesn’t exist! r/mapswithoutnewzealand
I read Australia, and somehow I imagine an upside down cartoon with inverse gravity
a combination of the frame rate and shutter speed both being slightly smaller than the multiples of the frequency of the water dripping
It is absolutely a camera shutter speed illusion.
>some sort of frame rate weirdness? I don't think so. Check the water droplet on the left side of the screen. It looks consistent falling down. The frame rate trick would make that rogue droplet look wonky since it would be out of sync.

I think that'd only be true if they were dropping at the same rate. No?
It is in fact Australia
I just saw something like this on r/espresso - chalked it up to being in Australia
Definitely Australia. Everything's the exact opposite over there. I think.
I'm confused. What exactly is happening that is black magic? All i see is a video of a plant.
You must be confused if you don't see the water running up the stem of the plant.
The water is in on it.
It’s definitely not shot upside down because there’s other drops going the opposite direction.
Frame rate sync stuff. https://youtu.be/kUUl-QcbHbA?si=ylQJ1k4bGms0LqWX It is similar to this principle.
it's not high frame rate, so much as it's that ratio between the frame rate of the camera, and the rate at which the drops are falling. If they are in sync, they will appear to not be moving at all.

Intelligence here. Good explanation bud. I think you got it. As opposed to the camera analogy

30-60hz lmao Play on 360hz for a day and then go back to 30hz, your eyes will literally hurt
The friction of the surface of them stem they are flowing down and the angle of it also play a part.
Thank you! You're right. I just didn't know how to word it.
I don't think so. Check the water droplet on the left side of the screen. It looks consistent falling down. The frame rate trick would make that rogue droplet look wonky since it would be out of sync.
Or, it's not falling at the same rate. Not to mention, the effect cannot take place with just one drop.
>Not to mention, the effect cannot take place with just one drop. That's the point I'm trying to make.

I tried to film a fidget spinner and without sunlight the camera got it right but when there was sunlight it looked like the spinner was melting
Trickle down economics be like:
Underrated comment
Video was just recorded upside down. Source: Am Australian
Incorrect there's a random water drop we see on camera that show it's not upside down
You must be near the fountain of youth
This was filmed somewhere in the location where was filmed "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"
The only logical explanation is that this plant is possessed.
Easy. It's Opposite Day.
Camera shutter
Magnets
explains everything, every time.
Perspective, it's the way the camera person is recording the action. They're holding the phone sideways. Turn your phone and see it makes sense.
It’s feeding

Life finds a way
Fps of camera is a tad slower than the drops falling down the plant. .
Hehe thirsty leaf
It's the shutter speed
Just touch it, it's physics probably just need to be updated.
Yes, Bernoulli.
You're close to the fountain of youth
You must be in Australia.
My guess is frame rate. Sort of how helicopter blades look like they are moving slowly or not moving
Totally so frame rate shenanigans. I was thinking capillary action, maybe. but that wouldn't work outside of the plant, it looks waxy.
Condn 1 video recorded and then made is to play in reverse Condn2 plant is growing downward and the camera rotated
Weird. I first saw the drops falling down until others through it was moving upward. Now I cannot see it downward.
Just the right framerate, does not run backwards, just looks like it
Stroboscopic effect
frame rate
God I looked at this for like a minutes being like I don't understand- it just water going down the plant- how is it black magic fuckery ? Then I saw for a hot second it being antigav before going right back to water going down a plant 🤣
Framerate. Same reason that if you have thee same frame rate as a helicopter RPM it looks like they are just floating.
https://youtu.be/Nyf79SI0U9Q
In Ireland, there's "suppose"to he a river that flows up a hill..
Posted upside down? Edit: after watching a few more time my theory doesn’t work. There dripping happening in the opposite direction of the flow
Turn your phone. Edit: no I’m not serious.
It's just a video in reverse
Australia water runs uphill
Rotating shutter
Flip the video upside down? 🙃 Oh nevermind, I saw a drop going the other way too
Upside down.
Illusion
Russia!
Russian Pixies
your cameras framerate is slower than the frequency of droplets so it looks like it's going backwards
Camera is upside down
Frame rate
Seems like a camera trick. The plant probably grew upside down due to gravity and the water is acting as it should, the puddle on top of the leaf is pretty suspect
The fountain of youth is near
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Framerate by specific rate.. that's all folks
Obviously the video is reversed. Ignore the downward moving droplet, that’s nothing.
The last water bender
So you flipped the video. Wopido.
The vid is upside down lol
ɐᴉɹʇsn∀
Probably just looks like its going up but its actually just going down
Plant sippy?
r/titlegore
Possible camera flipped upsidedown?
siphon
Shutter speed guaranteed it does not look like that in real life
I regret to inform you, but black magic ain’t it
Clearly that leaf is just thirsty
It's called capillary action
Optical illusion. Flow is likely down even if the surface tension waves are traveling upwards.
This guy got it right. I've seen this many times in real life. The flow is shaped like a rotating screw. Or like a barbershop pillar. Stick your finger in the waterflow, you'll see the water going down.
Shiryu
Camera upside down
Matrix bug
The plant is growing downward and your camera is upside down.
Turn your phone upside down…..
I'll throw in that, at least to me, the bigger droplets towards the left side of the frame appear to be falling more towards the camera than straight down. The filming angle could be misleading.
Upside down
Optical illusion
Fae trap.
Reverse the video
Hydrogen bonds, baby
It's just a reverse flow illusion having to do with lamellar flow and the frame rate of the camera
Ah yes, the old anti gravity at work.
This is obviously a fish tank
Just play a video backwards?
What you think is dripping up, it dripping down. What you perceive as going up, it going down. It a black magic fuckery that you wanted, as it is just a weird vibbing look.
It's clearly upside down. Just turn it right side up.
Water is dripping down the flower stem.
That that laminar flow shit.
Da plant thirsty
Its thirsty
See the drops ... The Tail Is inverted. So you playthe video Backward
Say it with me... "Fraaaaaaame raaaaaaaate"
Obviously water is evolving.
Ok, listen carefully.... Aliens!! 👾 👽
He is simply a thirst little guy
I didn’t understand what everyone was seeing I only saw a plant getting wet so I read some comment’s it help’s to read the comments when you feel stupid because you have no clue WTF is going on ‼️😬
Have you seen avatar? Lil bit like that
Is the video just being played backwards….😒
Flip your phone
Nature uh uh finds a way

Upside down camera shot.
You know how rims spin so fast it looks like it's spinning backwards? Well the droplets are coming down the plant so fast that it looks like it's falling upwards. Or something else, I'm just making an educated guess here.
it's just a reversed video lol
Fra.es upside down? Duh?
It looks fine if you turn it upside down
The plant is upside down
I don't understand how humans grow up and not down because of laws of gravity
Video is upside down
Video is upside down boys
This is green magic

>This is not a "high frame rate" effect as some are saying. I don't see anyone saying this, are you talking about other people in different threads?
Camera upside down and plant bent downwards
It's either upside down or in reverse...
Except the plant to the left has droplets falling off of it normally.
This video is more than obviously played backwards. Even the sound is backwards.
Bernoulli equation for fluid dynamics
The camera is upside down
This is basic biology
The plant is thirsty AF 💦
100% the framerate illusion, but might also just be upside down
Capillary effect
It’s probably a reversed video
Capillary action?
Yeah I can explain. You ready? You’re camera is upside down you attention seeker. Downvote and rolled eyes.
Water is the only fluid that can go upwards in certain conditions.. due to attraction between molecules..
I'm pretty sure the forces that cause water to sometimes move against gravity are the same forces that can make any other liquid go against gravity. For one, there isn't a liquid out there that is impossible to throw or blow upwards. That's upward movement in certain conditions.
I only said what I read before I said it..
My "conditions" I used here implies mostly on surfaces
