- In this video I show you how it is possible for a boat to float in the air. I talk about Fata Morgana and Looming. Then I show you a real life example that you can do at home that bends light in this same way.

Had to fly to Florida to find some ghost ships for this one, sorry about the bad audio!
Can I see sharks swimming above the water too?
The title of the video made me think of an experiment I saw a long time ago. A paper ship floating on sulphur hexafluoride gas. It would be cool to see that in the channel
No problem it's ok sir.
You went to Florida for 50 seconds of video. Ooookay so how far were the boats at how far away was the horizon did you forget to take a hat as well?
TH-cam must pay better than I thought!
I once sent a couple of years on a property that was completely surrounded by flat country for 30 miles in every direction. Imagine my surprise one morning to wake up to hills, complete with random trees, across the entire horizon. Even more intriguing was that as I watched over 20 minutes it slowly sank into oblivion. Only ever saw it the once but apparently it used to occur a lot.
I saw this one when I was flying up to Lake Erie in a small airplane, pretty cool effect and it taught me a valuable lesson about how deceiving your senses can be when you're piloting an aircraft
Action lab: “Recently”
TH-cam: 10 years ago
I think its 11 years ago !! Sir
When you are over 40 you tend to think that the 90's was like 10 years ago... :-(
so in real life the water is not rendered
@@hsavietto bleh yeah thanks for making me feel old
@@hmmmtietmetmosterd welcome to the club, brother! ;-)
This was a really great demonstration, and I’d never heard of the image flipping entirely. Now, I’ll sit back with my popcorn and wait for the flat earth comments 🙃
Bruh i was thinking that too
@MR.POTATO how is "floating" boats prove that the earth is flat? Asking the real question here... And btw, you did not watch the full video, he explains this at the end.
@MR.POTATO What is your argument? He explained it near the end of the video. Just listen.
Pog
@Eye Sea Clearly i got a curved mirror here
This also explains the Flying Dutchman. Especially if sailors saw a ship slowly loom into view, upside down and floating over the water, only to slowly fade out of existence again. If you didn't know about this phenomenon, it would be easy to be unnerved, especially if the mate starts talking ghost stories, about a ship a hundred years ago that never made it back to port because of a bad storm.
Everyone: "whatever floats your boat"
Action Lab: "Refraction"
Captain: I am going to name my ship Dinnerbone
Dinnerbone: 5:05
Its at Sheep named dinnerbone that go upside down...
It a joke man
@Deborah Ajao sheep (ship)
Nahh that boat is just asserting dominance over other boats
Hell yea it is , I'm getting Alpha Boat vibes from his boat 😂
Awesome! Reflections are pretty cool. You can also do this with gasses ;o
It's Refraction here😅,
Pog
How do you do it with glasses? 😎 or 🤓? I really would like to know.
You certainly can! They have to be gases with a very high refractive index relative to the air.
The comments above and below are big brain
I'm Impressed by the Explanation you came up with but actually, you just have to increase your render distance. The far away Ocean is not rendered but the entities are therefore they seem as if they are floating!
Such phenomena are very common in Minecraft.
If you already have your render distance maxed out then you simply have to wait few seconds for it to load.
This is one of those great examples of why the Earth is NOT flat. Great video! Keep it up!
Best explanation of the phenomenon I’ve ever seen on the internet. Kudos!
"you can't always trust your eyes". So easy to understand yet many people can't understand. This video really explains how the optics work on earth. 3:37 to 4:00 tells a lot.
@The Action Lab The videos you showed at 1:08 are actually examples of inferior mirage, which is by far the most common type of mirage over water. It's caused by water being significantly warmer than the air above it. You can tell because there's an inverted image below the ship. The reflection of the sky in the water makes it look like the ships are floating above the water. The Fata Morgana mirages, and the non-mirage looming, is rarer, and occurs over water that is colder than the air. They're more common in California.
Insightful!!
I've done many at home experiments with liquid nitrogen and butane to show this effect on a smaller scale. It's really cool! You can get mirages and/or looming.
Good video. Just a small correction: at minute 3:38 you see the edge of the box bent downwards. That’s actually light bent upwards at the interface between glass and air. You must be careful how you use that box, as it doesn’t always reproduce the atmosphere as we see it. We are like inside the box, and effects due to the interface between the box and the air outside can be misleading.
He never clickbaits us and that's why I love him
Alternative title: Minecraft glitches in real life
Why is it always minecraft.
The initial image of the "floating" sailboat is not a Fata Morgana, but a false horizon. Due to optical circumstances, what appears to be the horizon line is lower than the geometric horizon, and then a boat floating quite normally on the water can be in the zone where the water surface looks like sky. As correctly explained later in the video, a Fata Morgana includes some upside-down effect.
If one looks closer to the true images of Fata Morgana, one would notice that the images of ships have distortions: like a ship and its reflection below clipped together, even if the whole thing floats above the horizon. According to the principle of this illusion it makes sense: the reflected light cuts and pastes whatever is just above the water, an that includes the reflected image of the boat on the water surface! That's why you don't see the boat's curved belly. The viral video at the beginning is probably doctored since it doesn't represent the illusion in its entirety.
I kinda wish the title had just been "Boats That Floats" 😂
Boats and Floats!
@@IsraeliteLife boats and hoes
"Recently on the internet"
Video: September 26, 2010
Was thinking the same that's centuries in internet time 😂
"So *recently* there was a *picture* of a floating boat in the internet.*
**shows a video from 2010**
Mind : Blown
The boat in the news that looked like it was floating could have also been because there was less wind further away so the water was more reflective reflecting the light blue of the sky... If you look, the horizon is visible, so it's likely to be that instead this time around. You also have the same affect closer to the rocks in the picture as additional evidence of that.
Recently on the internet:2010
And that was a decade ago, but it makes sense, the internet existed since two decades, so it's the half
Great video! You have a gift being able to communicate complex ideas, in a way that's clear and interesting.
That's really good!!!
Also I think it's pronounced with an hard G
Also you can watch Captain Dissilution's video that talks a bit about it, it's called "debunking the floating city" or something like that
The best physics channel on youtube for sure.
The boat be like
It's time to leave the earth
Would have been better if you said aight I'm out
Adios
Best Physics Channel
Ahhh! Forget this glitch also.
Please report to improve this simulation.
(Earth corona patch ver-02)2021.
bruh
corona is a DLC tho
This is one of the theories about why the lookouts on the Titanic didn't see the iceberg until it was too late.
Dammm!! Always interesting 😉
In west wales there is a really cool effect where at sunset the sun looks like it is resting on the water right after it dips under the horizon it looks amazing!
I loved learning about Optics in Physics at university. So interesting. They eye is easily fooled.
*This guy has awesome topics !!*
The "boat floating in the air" is not a mirage. It's a region of water further out from the shore that's calmer than the near water. At shallow angles this more completely reflects the sky.
Mirages are inverted and distorted. These are not. They are not mirages.
definately, you can even see the horizon if you look close enough
That’s right
@The Action Lab Really nice demonstrations! I love refraction, and have done many experiments with it myself. The flipping of the image is because of a principle of symmetry. I've been meaning to make a video explaining how it works.
@Deborah Ajao Hopefully I'll actually make it soon
what about jacopo?
Great demonstrations of showing no earth curve! Always optical effects that cause the obstruction! 👍
let me guess... you are from usa
@@buckwarp1475 bad guess, try South Africa lol.
@@FlatzoidsPerspective oh they have education issues there too? sorry to hear that
@@buckwarp1475 seems all im getting is Ad hom and no actual argument👍 great keep it up🙂 its how the ignoramus population presents itself.
@@FlatzoidsPerspective dude, your argument is "light can bend therefore earth is flat", give me a break
Hi sir🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️👋
Love from INDIA🤩
@@SnickersEatsCookies that's awesome man
Love from Malaysia🇲🇾
Nice to meet you😁😀
So cool . You can also see Toronto from lake Ontario Rochester NY sometimes. It's pretty amazing!
This prism effect also causes chromatic dispersion, which is the reason you can sometimes see the green flash at sunset
learning new things everyday from you, thanks
Very pog boat moment
steam explosion
Interesting timing on this. The Weather Channel just posted a picture of this exact phenomenon happening with a cargo ship just a few days ago.
but why some of these "floating" images are inverted and some of them are not?
He literally explained in the video
@@pintaridergaming 4:58 he says when effect is really strong but what does that exactly mean?
@@jayj9278 it means the light coming from the bottom of the ship is bent stronger than that coming from the top (air has to be really dense at the bottom for this to happen) so the bottom portion of the ship is shown above the top one making it look inverted.
You know what's interesting, that this "bent" light isn't distorted completely. and that it appears as though it's sometimes also a mirror reflecting a horizontal line of atmosphere that's the same colour as the body of water in the same area or vice-versa. I'll have to look into it.
Flat earthers will now claim we are flat, but now breathing sugar water!
very interesting every time
I think some flat earth believers are singing in choir watching this - REEEEEEEEE
This is proof that the Second Order of Bahamut was right and the Earth is actually an inverted sphere. People talk about digging a hole to China, but in reality, we would have to build a ladder to China.
@@chitlitlah I'm confused ....so you would pass by our moon, our sun, seven planets, and all the rest of the known cosmos on your way up the ladder to China? I guess you'd still have to ignore all of aviation, satellite technology, and space exploration in general (to name a few) or does the Second Order explain those away somehow?
Or is this just a dive into a sort of hyperbolic/non-euclidean geometry
Wow that is awesome I love it fun at the beach
What in the world!😯😵
Wow, this is amazing and cool! 👍🏻😀
The action lab at 2050 : I make a blackhole float onMy mouth
You can do that right now! Just go to a strip club..
Extraordinary
The owner of that boat be like:
“What should I drink?”
“Whatever floats your boat”
*drinks air*
Such an underrated comment smh
the thumbnail looks crazy man 😂😂
This is exactly how that photo was taken where you could see the Chicago skyline across the lake. Flat earthers
0:31-- what? Which one was "a little above the horizon?" I didn't see it, and I was looking. Please reply with your musing.
Only legends know that he used clips from previous videos...🔥
I use the same effect to make me feel better. First I look at my bank account on the monitor, then I sink my self so far down that I can no longer see the minus in front of the number and I feel better.
20th...
I think a good example of this fact is when you see a giant moon at the horizon. thanks for the video
I was expecting an aquarium full of sodium hexafluoride.
Same here lol
Wait a second, it's sulfur hexaflouride, not sodium. You caught me not paying total attention to your comment.
Would you please do some experiments about the boomerang motions and the occasions where such motions show up in physics? Thanks.
A flat earther is probably going to use this video as "evidence" the earth is flat
@Opecuted it would because it would explain why its curved 🤔
The earth is flat. Read the book. Wages stay flat while rent goes up. That's what people mean when they say the earth is flat. On every level of the economy, it is flat thus the earth is flat, even in other economies of other species
I am going to use this video as evidence that the earth is flat
I just had a question I had about something in a book answered right now, thanks to this video.
This reminds me of Gta :vice city 🤔
Yes that happend in the game
Yeah man
Two types of mirages, inferior and superior.
Fanta Morgana is an alternate name for the superior mirage because it is so extremely rare. What you see in a typical water sunset is an inferior mirage, with the sun overhead. It's the rare case that light bends down, it normally bends upwards.
Those damn lightbenders are behind it once again >:(
I saw these effects irl a few weeks back! Thanks for teaching me what it was!
Well hello there early gang.
Hello
Really well explained, nice video
"Who are you going to trust, me or your lyin eyes?" Groucho
Awesome collection
Im starting to think he might still be able to see the ball.
Nicely explained, and a very cool demonstration with the tank of water.
For a second I thought it was going to be a tank of sulfur hecafoouride
Great explanation!
But why is the sea not appearing to be floating with the boat? Is it because it is at ground level?
Dude, I’ve been struggling with understanding the long distance observations that flat earthers have been making and it’s been confusing me for literally the last 2 years. I’ve tried to find explanations to their observations and until I saw this video, I almost started to think that they were right...
Interesting how certain frequencies, not even getting into the range of polarization, can propagate as underground waves, ground waves, skywaves and space waves. Crazy more is the photon to phonon effects... that challenge many who argue media types and properties of say just air.
So the atmosphere makes flat things curved. Wow thanks for confirming the earth is flat.
thx for confirming you cant process any information
@@buckwarp1475 Thanks for confirming you don't understand refraction.
@@Frankyouknow thx for confirming dunning-kruger effect.
@@spacexsays3227 are you planing to ctrl v all day long or will say something dumb so we all can laugh at you?
@@buckwarp1475 Its ok!
Thank you I understood none of this but it’s still cool
Flying Dutchman joined the chat.
You can actually see the sun set *twice* if you lie on the shore stand up *immediately* after you see the last bit of it sink below the horizon.
This effect is more pronounced with buildings; at the tallest skyscraper in the world, the Burj Khalifa, the sunset at the top occurs 3 minutes after sunset at ground level.

ഉണ്ടല്ലോ
its very cool, i like it!😊 but i want to add that when we see sun go down in the sea, the sun is already gone because light bends (as you say) and also it will be 8 min downer because of light speed 😊
Imagine if we can make cars that float
People 50 years ago be like:
I invented this, it used hydrogen gas liquid and compressed air gas to create plasma discharge more efficient than jet fuel to create rotating magnetic fields of plamsa with quasi stable electric field electron vortex. It used helium gas 2 degrees Kelvins or as cold as possible to cool the atoms down while the electrons stay hot. I invented this in 2009, government is sold out to big oil. I sent the invention to Armenian president in 2020 and asked it be built with russia money because they are poor. Now russia announced 2021 it is in process of patenting a flying car and from what iv seen looks like its plasma based like my invention.. china also took another invention of mine a jet engine that uses compressed gass for plasma jet more efficient than jet fuel. Everyone laughed in 2009 but china proved my theory in 2020.
Fantastic idea and cool

"That far away boat is sinking!"
Flat Earther
Wow that's amazing! Thanks!
:)
If you make a metal ball water proof and drop it in water will it be like it is surrounded by air and fall like its in mid air
Or the earth is flat...
Ok
This is a very interesting video. But hey, whatever floats your boat. Cheers!
Looks like flat to me ........ Earth is flat
Flat head - flat earth
Can you explain sometime how the military can use lasers on ships and hit a target hundreds of miles away sometime thanks
