How does soap make bubbles? Why are bubbles round? What shape do two bubbles make when they connect? Although these might seem like questions with obvious answers, the science and math of soap bubbles has all kinds of unsolved problems. In this video, we’ll learn about surface tension and the chemistry and physics of soap, we’ll learn a fun proof that bubbles should be round using a technique called Steiner Symmetrization, and we’ll learn Plateau’s Laws for determining the shape of a bubble cluster.
