/sci/, create me a theoretical situation where water or snow would ascend from the ground (without the help of wind), while anything heavier would appear normally bound by gravity.

Water turns to vapor, evaporates.

Done in one.

Reverse the direction of time. The earth's gravity waves will do work in the opposite direction.

any situation where it ascends without the help of wind? How about if i put some in a bucket and lift it up? that satisfies all your conditions

It could work if your "atmosphere" is something slightly denser than pure liquid water.

>anything heavier would appear normally bound by gravity

so that means this hypothetical water/snow isn't?

how about icicles from vapor? (they form only from the ground up, and are thicker on top than at the bottom) :O

>> No.4096405

>>4096377
Yeah, the point was that the rain or snow would appear as if moving in reverse direction.

>> No.4096408

>>4096404
That's pretty cool though.

>> No.4096410

I think the keyword is APPEAR normally bound by gravity. So that means that everything necessarily isn't bound by gravity, just heavier shit -seems- to be.

>> No.4096409

Is liquid helium lighter than air?
