The raindrop video is from Alistair McClymont’s gorgeous artwork “Raindrop” –
Video of the raindrop breaking apart is from the coolest paper i’ve read in a while – Villermaux, E., & Bossa, B. (2009). Single-drop fragmentation determines size distribution of raindrops. Nature physics, 5(9), 697-702. –
