The detailed explanation of this seemingly simple event has proved elusive. Now researchers publishing in the 23 January <em>Physical Review Letters<\/em> think they have a more complete explanation than their predecessors. Using a combination of theory, simulation, and experiment, they studied the collapse of the air cavity trailing the submerged object, concluding that it ejects water like toothpaste squeezed rapidly from its tube.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Phys.
