    One drop per 9 years

    One drop per 9 years
    this is like playing chess one move per year, The World’s Longest Experiment begins in 1927 when a professor of physics at the University of Queensland Australia wanted to prove that tar pitch has the same character of a liquid at room temperature. the timeline for the drops:
    Timeline

    Date Event Duration (Months) Duration (Years)
    1927 Experiment set up
    1930 The stem was cut
    December 1938 1st drop fell 96–107 8.0–8.9
    February 1947 2nd drop fell 99 8.3
    April 1954 3rd drop fell 86 7.2
    May 1962 4th drop fell 97 8.1
    August 1970 5th drop fell 99 8.3

    July 1988 7th drop fell 111 9.3
    28 November 2000 8th drop fell 148 12.3
