I`m pretty sure Darth Vader is narrating. It`s kind of funny that said it baffled (past-tense) scientists...I`m pretty sure its still pretty baffling...

theres no such thing as absolute zero though. I learned that from Beakmans world.

^ Quantum Hydrodynamics, I believe, though I only know the name.

Imagine having getting into a pool of this? Would you blow up from helium seeping into your body? (aside from freezing to death i mean)

Interesting. I wouldn`t say it is 0 viscosity, otherwise the fluid could not get rid of any of its energy and would not stop moving like in the first experiment. But they could obviously let the other two settle which suggests its not exactly 0.

The climbing up walls and seeping through pores shows it has 0 surface tension too.
