Floating Water: Difference between revisions

* [[Justified Trope|Justified]], or at least [[Handwaved]], in [[Larry Niven]]'s ''The Integral Trees'' and ''The Smoke Ring'': "Ponds" in the setting are spheres of water floating in midair, due to the near-complete lack of gravity.

* Also justified in one of [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''Flandry'' novels (part of the [[Technic History]] series), although the zero-g environment was artificial in this case.

* In the [[Spellsinger]] series, the river Sloomaz-ayor-le-Weentli is a "double" river, in which one river flows at ground level and another underground, with an air-filled space between them ([[A Wizard Did It]]).

 

* An episode of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' had a planet made entirely out of water, the reason for that being it was held together by a massive force field generator at its core. The people living on the planet meanwhile believed their gods had given it to them as a gift (note: they lived underwater in buildings).

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Smith and Jones," the gravity-transport beam the Judoon use to transport the hospital from the earth to the moon causes water to condense out of the air around the hospital and fall upward, creating the illusion that it's "raining backward."
