Einsteins Theory of Relativity

Supported from a copper pipe are test tubes 1/4 inch above each other from floor to ceiling. At the top of the column of test tubes is a large funnel containing a piece of melting ice. Water melted from the ice empties into the top test tube and overflows into the test tube directly below. Through surface tension, the water between the test tubes becomes one continuous flow from ceiling to floor, the only sign of movement being the water dripping off the bottom test tube. The ice contains food color which, changed daily, varies from blue to yellow to red and back to blue and so on, with the colors mixing to make green and orange as the water cycles through.
