Water works in a pretty simple way. Water flows wherever gravity takes it, and water takes the shape of its container. Or Does It? '''Floating Water''' is the strange fictional occurrence in which water decides to defy gravity, and sometimes make a plethora of shapes.

 

There can be any number of explanations that can be made by the people using this trope, but it really all boils down to the [[Rule of Cool]]. Remember however, it can still be in a glass container of some sort, just expect it to be crystal clear and barely noticeable.

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Goku from ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' exercises himself when he is in a hospital bed by concentrating his will on the water in a glass, moving the water out of the glass while it remains in the same shape as the glass. Naturally, when someone entered the room, he became distracted and the water fell on his head.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* The Red Matter in the new ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' movie. Justified in they ''had'' to have it suspended in a vacuum, because if it touched any other kind of matter at all it would turn into a black hole.

* The Mon Calamari opera/dance/thing in ''[[Star Wars]] Episode III''.
