The video explains why glitter is so difficult to remove once it gets on surfaces. It discusses the role of static electricity and van der Waals forces in making glitter sticky. These forces cause molecular interactions that result in glitter adhering to surfaces, including skin and clothing. The video also covers how static friction and resistance make it hard to brush glitter off, and how static cling can occur when glitter rubs against other materials. The video concludes with a caution about the challenges of removing glitter due to these scientific principles.
