  Centrifuge spins really fast so you need to balance where you put the samples, or else it will vibrate. The trick is to put them on the opposite side or equally spaced apart from each other.

  Example of an unbalanced spinning thing: youtu.be/vROdVsU_K80?t=51

      I think they divorced and he found someone else, which is why he stopped making videos.

      (I’m not joking, he explained it in one of his most recent videos)

    I’ve only ever seen that clip with the Harlem shake song. Never knew it was its own thing.

  Centrifuges spin really fast, so you need to balance out the things they’re spinning, otherwise it can fall catastrophically.

  Stick everything on one side and it will effectively explode.

  Think of it like a tilt-a-whirl. When you don’t distribute the load as best as possible and it starts spinning at an angle, someone (a test tube) will puke.

    Or in case of a faster centrifuge, it will shatter into jagged metal shards and imbed itself in the next few walls

  That thing spins really really fast.

  If you put too many of those things in it in a not balanced way (like all at one side), it’s dangerous.

  The picture is balanced, but it doesn’t look like it is at first glance.
