SCIENCE EXPERIMENT OF THE WEEK: LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE MEASURES SPEED OF LIGHT

by Hazed

Want to know what the speed of light is? You can look it up on the internet. But suppose you want to prove that the figure you find online is correct? Well, here's an amazing experiment you can conduct to check the figure, using just a microwave, and some leftover chocolate.

Ok, at this point, I have to marvel at the concept of having any chocolate that is considered leftovers! But just in case you do have some Valentine's chocolate lying about uneaten, or looking ahead to chocolate eggs at Easter, you can use it in this experiment.

Read how to do it here.

And note that after you have conducted the experiment, you can still eat the chocolate. Result!
