How do Siphons actually work? Neil deGrasse Tyson uses live demonstrations to clear up the misconceptions around siphons, straws and squid. How much does atmospheric pressure weigh? Why do straws work the way they do? How does the Conservation of Mass flow relate to both squids and traffic? All this and more is answered in this Explainer with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice.
