This video is pretty impressive. I've love to see this exploited further to see just how far someone could take it!

That's amazing.

What's really remarkable is what it accidentally demonstrates about chaos theory. When the lancet is "interacting" with the "stationary" drop, you of course are not seeing a single water drop being prodded, but a series of drops that create the illusion of a single drop stopped in time. But even though the lancet is interrupting the fall of many drops, they all break apart in an almost identical way when they hit the lancet.... thereby creating the illusion that the lancet is stretching a single drop.

So even though a drop of water splashing against a stick appears to be chaotic, there are clearly physical laws that direct even this most random of events.
