Wow, you learn something new everyday.
In the video below a man places what looks like a aluminum ship into a square container filled with sulphur hexafluoride. Sulphur hexafluoride is a gas that is a lot denser than air. This gas keeps the ship above the ground making it appear to float. Wow.
Why couldn’t all science classes be this interesting. Check out the floating ship in the video below.
