Explanation: Glass and glycerin have similar refractive indices. So when light moves from the glycerin through the glass it isn't bent differently, which is the way we normally see transparent glass in water.

Gotta love the synth swell.

There's gonna be a difference though. If you look at it closely enough maybe?

Yes, but you're going to have to look very, very closely.

Agreed.

I really wish they didnt cut away though when putting the bottle in the glass...

I, with a couple of others, used this trick in my zero-g experiment a few years back. We looked at fluid mixing in a granular medium, and used acrylic glass granules and a liquid with a similar refractive index to be able to see what was going on inside the experiment.

Obviously this is witchcraft

yeah... index of refraction experiments-

Ornthoron, I'm too dumb to read your comment. Please dumb it down and resubmit. Thanks.

Ornth did the fluid component have a different color or something which let you actually observe the results?

I'm searching Youtubes for 'Make a bottle disappear with Religion!'

So far...nothing...it's gotta be here somewhere!

I can still see the top.
