But the actual space doesn't have gravity, whats going on?

[@RiderBlitz1.0]

@Mr. Think then which direction will the balloons go? Since in the video it goes downward cause we're one earth, i get that the balloon will not float away on its own in space, it should stay stationary, no?

[@GeigerCheck]

I remember asking my 6th grade teacher "where does helium go in space?" She didn't comprehend my question.

[@ms9001]

it goes everywhere. your question did not mention balloon.

[@yeasstt]

@KSG this isn't true. The rate at which helium is escapes is extremely slow. Helium shortages happen when helium plants shut down. What we are running out of is the federal helium reserve. Helium is so easy to obtain nowadays that the US government has decided to let private companies produce it and is trying to get rid of its stockpile Edit: Forgot to mention that we can also make helium through any radioactive decay, as He-4 is identical to an alpha particle. As long as there is any radioactive substance on earth, there will be helium. Worst case scenario we can try to do nuclear fusion with hydrogen obtained from the electrolysis of water to artificially make helium too

[@YoungGandalf2325]

If a helium balloon pops in a vacuum, does it make a sound?

[@josephmurphy417]

I get this is a joke but in case anyone doesn't know this and is wondering no because vacuums don't have particles or atoms for the vibrations to travel through so everything in a vacuum is completely silent

[@demonfreeman3018]

@@josephmurphy417 actually, the balloon popping could create sound as the particles from the balloon travel in a wave to your ear.

[@josephmurphy417]

@@demonfreeman3018 no sorry but there aren't enough particles to support sound vibration plus it needs to be a solid line of particles from the balloon to your eardrum which is why even if a whole rocket exploded it'd be completely silent since as soon as it begins breaking the particles are all sucked out and scattered across the vacuum making incomplete chains that can't reach your ears to make sound because the constant separation of the particles due to the vacuum instantly stops the vibrations at the source

[@YoungGandalf2325]

@@josephmurphy417 I know it's said that there's no sound in space. But if you put a microphone inside the vacuum chamber, would it pick up anything from the expanding helium? Edit: Now I'm thinking there should be sound if it pops inside a vacuum chamber, as a balloon will probably pop before there is a complete vacuum. But what would happen if you put a microphone right next to a balloon or exploding object in space?

Wait a minute finally something that makes sense

[@lantempo]

Remeber space has no gravity so it won’t go up or down it will just stay in the same place

[@CATel_]

Makes sense, helium still has a weight, it's just buoyant

[@dest3005]

I love how the balloon was breakdancing when the air got back in

[@thirshprodab4127]

When you just started learning density...

[@c.Orange]

For those 3 people that are still struggling after seeing this short: The reason why helium goes up is because it wants to floats on air like wood on water, making air less dense makes the helium fall because the less dense air is lighter than the helium.

[@Darkninjasham]

Helium is less dense than air But with no air helium is heavy

[@randomviewer8857]

Really appreciate your videos. Very helpful. Learning new things every day

[@_random_info]

Gravity doing tricks as usual

[@Snowfireblues]

BTW, vacuum is the most buoyant in air. the problem is, it's a bit hard to find a material light enough to allow the vacuum to float without caving into itself under the negative pressure.

[@alexthegordonhighlander1159]

[@biggiecheese128]

Helium falls in space because it needs to breath

[@ivangood1871]

Well, if it's in space, there should be zero gravity, where everything floats......

[@Unionthewizard]

So that's why the ships in star wars all ways fall

[@midwestsirens]

Not only do they require air but they also require gravity.

[@nShobhit]

This one was just common sense

[@blacklight683]

I thought the vacuum will just pop the balloon

[@thegreatlordcthulhu9852]

That balloon is so dramatic

[@centauria9122]

So helium can't just drift off to space, but would stay at a point. That is if the balloon doesn't pop like they usually do.

[@luichinplaystation610]

Helium farts...

[@IoanTheMan]

So basically if you send a hellium balloon in the space it will stay between the Earth and the space...

[@cjames9320]

They won't fall in space unless they're subject to gravity.

[@schtinky1151]

Just have your birthday party upside down so they go the right way

[@amerfilmstudios9292]

If we want to float, take out air around us ( plus we can't breath too ) 😝🤪🤭

[@Destroyer40k0]

Well, it also doesn’t go up because there isn’t really an up to go, in the vacuum of space it’ll pop, on a space station it’ll go away from any sort of gravity so it’d prob just slowly float away from the earth

[@movax20h]

The funny thing is, the helium balloons move up, not because they are lighter than air, but because a pressure of air at the bottom of the balloon is slightly higher than pressure of air at the top of the balloon. This is true, even if fluid is fully in-compressible, as in-compressible fluids in gravitational field (constant or slowly changing) still do have pressure gradient.

[@gabedarrett1301]

Fun fact: the minimum volume needed for you to float in water is ~1 cubic foot. Since air is 1000x less dense, you'd need a balloon with at least ~1000 cubic feet to float in the air (think of a cube 10x10x10 feet)

[@davervmirxz160]

Before you cut off the vacuum. Imma guess that the balloon is going to pop.

[@Rennu_the_linux_guy]

Do they always get all staticy after being in there? That's really weird

And on the ISS it would just over in place, since there is no atmospheric pressure gradient. (Although it would get pulled around by the airflow of the air recyclers)

Sorry Action Labs, it doesn’t matter what’s in the balloon, it’s not going anywhere without gravity.

[@I_am_your_father3]

But if it was in space, which direction would it fall in???? Questions to be answered

[@jamesflake6601]

Okay but why can I not find a demonstration of a balloon releasing its pressurized air in a vacuum anywhere on the internet

[@D-train69]

So gravity is still a constant even in a vacuum chamber

[@LLO227]

Looks like gravity is stronger than the " air " around the balloon.

[@thefourshowflip]

Since the chamber isn’t a “true” vacuum, then yes, this is an accurate way to describe the system; the buoyant forces are not sufficient to overcome the gravitational attraction in this environment.

[@ThevenimX]

Oh no the weightless astronauts would have sinking balloons. The one thing to foil the weightless floating, helium balloons
