69 years? Most people would say that they had too much time on their hands.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SCIENCE!

People don't realize what a big deal this is. A man has dedicated his life to seeing this think drop and after missing it over five time they finally have a recording. This is exciting.

http://www.nature.com/news/world-s-slowest-moving-drop-caught-on-camera-at-last-1.13418 After 69 years, one of the longest-running laboratory investigations in the world has finally captured the fall of a drop of tar pitch on camera for the first time. A similar, better-known and older experiment in Australia missed filming its latest drop in 2000 because the camera was offline at the time.
