The concept is density in a gravitational influence.

This is the SAME thing using rotating magnetic fields, thus proving that the electromagnetic influence has a dipole charge of + and - while gravity is a MONOPOLE.

Didn't know that you could prove that so simply did you?

Why do we want a room temperature superconductor? Well the Earth is a goiant bar magnet and a super co9nductor has effectively zero current flow resistance........

Contrary to what you think, this is about the behavior of gases when temperature change is induced, not liquids. if the clumsy experimenter had done this right you would see him lift the flask neck out of the colored water filled tray, and you would see a column of water trapped in the neck of the flask seemingly held there by nothing but air. EXACTLY. Why?

What you missed here is the principle of uniform acceleration of the gravitational influence when you are in the presence of concentrated mass.

Huh? Everything falls together at a uniform rate based on the distance from one another as measured by a constant acceleration over time.

Double huh?

Think about it.

EXACT same thing, different proof.

Thompson Experiment.

Another proof that electromagnetism is a + or - charge influence.

This is not chemistry. This is PHYSICS; its called the Coanda effect.
