Quest to Colored Bubbles
It took Tim Kehoe, inventor of a new kind of bubbles, zubbles, 11 years to finally realize his dream of creating non-staining colored bubbles. It turned out to be an extremely complex chemistry lesson. It also proves that persistence, appropriate guidance and a bit of money (half a mil, to be exact), any crazy dream can come true.
Popular Science is running the article on the disappearing colored bubbles. It’s a rather inspiring and interesting read. It’s inspiring in that seeing someone who’s been through a series of unfortunate events eventually gets the “Hollywood ending” he was looking for. I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney makes a movie out of this story not too long from now.
