“Truth is not so beneficial as semblance of truth is malicious”

Francois de La Rochefoucauld.

The final exposure OF THE SEMBLANCE OF the “Quantum capillary hydrodynamic effect”.

As already described in the previous two notes “Atomic droplets” and “Atomic droplets 2”, this is the phenomenon of a strange rather rapid movement of most droplets to the center of a glass plate (4 mm thick) and their disappearance there.

The inclusion of relatively low-frequency vibrations from the exhaust pump under the sink did not change anything in the picture of the phenomenon.

Splitting into individual drops occurred, but RARELY!

And what is it: “Atomic droplets” running rapidly towards the center?

These are NOT DROPS, but places where WATER TRICKLES come off the bottom surface of the glass plate!

There were really drops, almost MOTIONLESS! And they were REAL dropslets.

And those, moving, shiny and pulsating dropletss were just places where the trickles of water flowing along the bottom surface of the glass broke off from it and fell into the sink!

Today, I conducted a preliminary experiment with a variety of steel balls with a diameter of 6 mm, which I placed randomly on a carefully horizontally balanced plate.

They didn’t roll off on their own.

I turned on low-frequency vibrations, and some of the balls, which were probably in the antinodes of standing waves in the glass, shifted and rolled towards the edges of the plate.

I turned off the vibrations and turned on the hot and cold water taps. There was no change.

I removed the beads, began to observe the drops running down the center again, and, looking closely, saw trickles masked by glass on its lower surface, all running towards the center and there, at different distances from it (depending on the volume of the trickle flow) ENDING!

Here, THESE PLACES of separation of the trickle from the glass CREATED THE APPEARANCE OF RUNNING DROPS!

I apologize to the readers for this unwitting hoax!

The only thing I can say to justify myself is that I did not cheat, I did not engage in conscious charlatanism, but I was sincerely mistaken!

ERRARE HUMANUM EST!
