It was about 300 years ago, while Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree in Cambridge having his afternoon nap, when suddenly something hit his head. If the history books are to be believed, that something was an apple. However, reliable contemporary witnesses were ready to swear an oath, that it was in fact, an egg (wherever this egg might have come from). Apparently there were even philosophers who pursued the theory, that the first chicken was hatched from this very egg... Well, be it as it may, this fortuitous event granted mankind the law of gravity! Since then physicists, mathematicians and other renowned scientists worldwide are racking their brains as to how one could defy and outwit this natural phenomenon.
IF EGGS COULD FLY!
At the Red Bull Gravity Challenge we are now looking for people who are prepared to defy gravity with wit and a great deal of imagination.
THE CHALLENGE:
Who can manage to drop an egg from the dizzy heights of 15 metres and get it to land safe, sound and unscathed?
Are you ready for it? Is your mind full of ideas of how to land that egg safely and surely?
Then log in under LOCATIONS, to find out when the Red Bull Gravity Challenge is at your university.
And under RULE BOOK you will find everything worth knowing and what the participants have to look out for.
And if you can’t at all imagine how this could possibly work, or rather fly, then take a quick glance at our MEDIA COLLECTION.
