Sometimes scientific eyes can see in the most primitive places, and a tomato field is just the location. A new video of a farmer harvesting tomatoes has confused armchair physicists on the internet.

Viral video on Reddit confuses netizens

In the video, a man is seen flipping buckets of tomato harvest into a truck, but it's neither the truck nor the tomatoes that have the internet in a bind, but rather the technique used by the man to flip the fruit into the truck. The visual evidence of his seemingly pushing the fruit in the truck as he simultaneously pulls the buckets to the other side has raised many questions.

Netizens debate which laws of physics are at play in the video

Netizens in the comments discussed which laws of physics were helping the man flip his harvest into the truck in such a magical way. A commenter says it's simply "inertia" at play, while some others use heavier terms in the discourse. While another lays it out for everyone, "He gives tomatoes momentum by pushing the bucket, and because of inertia, they continue travelling towards the truck when he pulls the bucket in the other direction." Pointing out the shortcoming of the commenter, a passerby wrote, "You don't give tomatoes inertia. Maybe you mean momentum?" As another backed up his comment by writing, "Yeah, you are right. He gives them momentum and, because of inertia, they continue towards the truck."

Besides the academic debate, there was also the usual train of idiocy on the platform as a fight broke out about whether the back of the man in the video would be hurting after the labour he put into his work in the fields. Unexpectedly, a netizen¡¯s comments on how his back would definitely be crushed turned into a debate about why this generation thinks even the slightest labour requires humongous amounts of power. A commenter replied snarkily, "Bet you his back is healthier than someone with a 9-5 desk job." While another added, "Redditor - sees the slightest physical exertion. 'omg his back.¡¯"
