the new exploratorium has been open in san francisco for six months. the hands-on museum is getting rave reviews and two and a half times more visitors. tonight we are presenting a special half-hour program on what keeps all those people coming back. abc7 news anchor dan ashley has a preview of one of the crazy, but scientific things you will see. >> this project calls for 300-pound block of ice, very thin wire and a motorcycle. >> this is important in understanding glaciers. >> glaciers? so far the connection is not obvious. the plan is to cut a block of ice in half, but have it still remain whole. a crazy demonstration of a physics principle. it takes it all evening to get it ready.
6:42 am
>> the block has to be clear enough to see the wire cutting through it. the team gets the ice in position. >> is the block centered on the bike? >> next the block is looped over the ice. >> be careful. we have no idea if the block of ice is going to break. >> drop it a little more. i think it's pretty cool at the exploratorium, that's the way we get scientific concepts across, by doing wacky art pieces like this. >> by 6:00 p.m. the display is in place and curious visitors get a good look. the pressure from the hanging motorcycle is pulling the wire through the block of ice but as the wire moves the ice is actually refreezing above it. when the wire gets to the bottom, the motorcycle will fall. but if the experiment works, the ice block will remain solid, not split in half by the wire. >> the ice will stay in one piece. by 7:30 the wire is almost at the bottom. >> i give it another five minutes.
6:43 am
>> five minutes? >> then just as we looked away for a moment -- [applause] >> the motorcycle lands perfectly upright. there is a white scar through the ice, but is it still in one piece? >> it looks solid and it feels solid. >> so why? the answer is a process called redgulation. the weight of the motorcycle puts pressure on the ice. >> and under that pressure you can make the molecules move out of the way to flow as if they are a liquid. then they flow around the wire, back to the top of the wire from the bottom, where they freeze again. >> and now the connection. this is the same process that happens under a frozen glacier to make it move slowly forward. >> i don't know where i would be able to see this. this is what you come to the exploratorium to see, right? >> lisa said i'm a nerd but i
6:44 am
love this kind of stuff. tonight you can see much more of the fascinating and fun exhibits at the exploratorium. dan ashley has more to explore at 6:30 p.m. here on abc7. >> i mean that in a nice way. [laughter] >> no ice or fog. plenty of fog. in fact, it's not everywhere, but we are looking at it here from the sutro camera. it's allowing for the visibility to be reduced to less than a quarter mile in spots. it's headed across the bay. it's north and along the coast but we have a sunny and mild forecast for your sunday. i'll have that when we return. >> thank you, lisa. also next, stanford tries to bounce back at ucla following last week's disappointing loss. larry beil has the highlights, including what could be the catch of the year in college football, coming up in sports. it guides you to a number that will change your life: your sleep number setting.
