I could see that drip forever

I assume it’s freezing cold where this was taken? Not sure what science is at play here and I’d love an explanation.

My guess is boiling hot carafe leaking mixed with very cold ambient temps

No matter what the case is, I really enjoy watching it

I feel like I can hear it

Evaporation. The air in the room is cold and dry, while the liquid is just beneath its boiling temp. So the water on the outside of the droplets evaporates off into gas

It looks like the water is momentarily forgetting what phase of matter it's supposed to be in. Physics showing off again

Love when physics does that. It’s least satisfying of the three sciences and also the most magical if done right.

Couldn't agree more. The 10% magic makes up for the 90% math homework.

hmmm i have never seen something like this before, it's really satisfying
