When searching for the perfect rock to create the biggest splash, it turns out that a slightly curved rock is the optimal choice. This groundbreaking finding challenges the long-standing belief in physics that flat objects generate the greatest impact on water.
The research was conducted by a team from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island, who aimed to investigate the traditional notion of splash dynamics. Their results suggest that the curvature of an object plays a crucial role in maximizing the splash effect.
