stanley becher of the viscosity of pitch, which holds the Guinness World Records spot for the longest-running lab experiment, continues to defeat would-be observers.Pitch, a tarlike substance, was heated and poured into a closed funnel in 1927 by Professor Thomas Parnell at the University of Queensland in Australia. Three years later, when the pitch was set, the end of the funnel was cut off to launch the still ongoing experiment. In the intervening 87 years, only nine drops have fallen, none of which has been directly observed as they separate from the funnel.Even without direct observation, the viscosity of the pitch can be estimated. Seven drops fell during the first 58 years of the experiment, or roughly one drop every eight years. From this, Professor Thomas Parnell and his colleagues estimated the pitch to be 100 billion times more viscous than water. For perspecti

Since then only two more drops, slightly larger than before, have fallen at a pace of one every 13 years.In all this time, no one has observed a drop falling and separating from the mass in the funnel, including longtime custodian of
