Good question.
I wonder if with ideal physics, with zero viscosity and no surface tension, with the water were a perfect fluid, then in a perfectly symmetrical situation maybe the water wouldn't fall at all, since that would require symmetry-breaking.

Even if you teach the water that symmetry-breaking ist verboten, there are perfectly symmetric solutions of this problem. Regards, jj
