Comment on Vertically rolling ball 'challenges our basic understanding of physics'

I am beginning to understand why federal funds were cut to universities. "Spitball by middle school kid rolls down whiteboard rather than instantly falling off! OMG we need a million dollars to study this."

Looks like they got around $75,000 total, split up over two grants, shared by the co-authors and the lab. That's a shockingly small budget and produced a neat study. Seems like Canada's getting their money's worth.
