This is a video of The Backyard Scientist Kevin Kohler dropping a red-hot cannonball through layers of Styrofoam to see if the ball will fall through them like they’re not even there, or take some time to burn through. I just wish I could have been there to smell it. Then he does the same thing with molten copper. The video ends with a plug for Casper mattresses. How are those mattresses anyways? I’m in the market for a new mattress because my old one’s springs are starting to poke out. “You sure about that?” Of course I’m sure about that. “You sure that’s the reason you need a new mattress?” Positive. “Sure you didn’t soil it?” Did my girlfriend tell you that? I shouldn’t drink Red Bull after 6PM.

Keep going for the video.
