I fell into a Jurassic Park rabbit hole

I was looking for information on how low frequency vibrations travel through water.  A google search led me to a vibrating pool of water ...to a vibrating glass of water. and eventually to make a left turn to Jurassic park and a quaking cup of coffee.

Google is all about scenes of two vibrating water cups, which must have been in a movie that I did not see. I don't think it is a false memory, because I did find one other site that mentioned that cup of coffee.

Am I the only one that remembers a vibrating cup of coffee on the car's dashboard in the Jurassic Park series?

In a word: Yes.

By the way, it looks like they had a surprisingly complicated practical effect to get the water to do that:

Mystery solved!

I asked a friend of mine the same question last night. I had the correct cup of coffee, on the wrong dashboard.  Some time ago, we had stopped for a long traffic light, and I placed the styrofoam cup on the dash.  The occupants of the car behind us were killing brain cells with some amped up bass.  Volume level aside, We got a laugh watching the concentric circles that were clearly visible in my coffee.

I was curious about that myself.  I guess guitar strings were preferable to deafening the whole cast and crew.

😂It's a mandela effect!

I remember a glass of water on a glass table inside the RV?

If we can keep this going we'll have enough material for a remake
