Man’s bizarre water video leaves internet scratching their heads
‘It’s alive!’ Man’s video of running water appearing to randomly change direction leaves the internet STUNNING – as viewers say is evidence of a ‘glitch in the Matrix’
- A Reddit user has left the web with a video of water on metal
- The unnamed user posted the video in the thread titled ‘Glitch In The Matrix’
- Many users explained that the water flowed this way due to hydrophobicity
A video of water strangely flowing down a metal plate has left the web in disbelief.
An unnamed Reddit user has convinced users there’s a “glitch in the Matrix” after posting a video of water flowing “chaotically” over a surface.
Penetrate to the wire ‘Glitch In The Matrix’showed the user the ‘strange event’.
Social media users have expressed their shock at the flow of water not following “physics”.

The unnamed poster captioned the clip: “They need to fix this bug.”
The 30-second clip showed the water breaking into droplets as it fell down the metal plate.
People on the social media platform were shocked by the video, with some calling it “a glitch.”
One person said, “It’s a glitch in The Matrix. Run Neo. Walk. ‘
Another said, ‘Physics: you must follow my laws. Water: How about no.’
Other social media users were quick to joke about the water stream.
“You’re a wizard Harry,” one person commented.
Another user added, “It’s alive!”
“It’s doing a TikTok dance,” another person wrote.

And while some users pointed out the strange flow of the water, the majority explained that the way the water moved down through the metal was due to hydrophobicity – which is the property of a molecule that is repelled by water.
“Chaos theory in action,” one wrote.
Another user added, “Hydrophobic surface.”
“It appears that the metal is somewhat hydrophobic and the flow changes subtly, moving back and forth between a laminar flow and a turbulent flow, causing it to bounce wildly as it jumps in between.” Check out the Reynolds number in fluid mechanics if you’re curious about it,” explained another user.

Another user added: ‘Water is a polar substance and creates weak hydrogen bonds with other molecules of its own – this makes water “sticky”. That sticky quality mixed with a hydrophobic surface (the metal) leads to what you see.’
“Looks hydrophobic,” another person commented.
Another user said, ‘Yup! Water behaves like beads on hydrophobic surfaces. Here the surface tension keeps those beads rolling and rolling, those beads fall off when it hits the more hydrophobic parts of the surface.’
When a surface is hydrophobic, it tends to repel or not mix water, meaning it doesn’t naturally flow over the surface.
Surfaces that have no affinity with water are alkanes, oils, fats, metals and greasy substances.
