It actually is magnetism. Even though it is seemingly non-existent magnetism, there actually does exist magnetism in everything, even humans. With the candles magnetism being as weak as it is, since you've placed it atop the water, it's force is strong enough to pull the two together.
@Tenatiouz Um....no. Candles are not attracted to one another magnetically....You obviously have a very poor understanding of magnetism (and likely science in general). In order for two objects to be magnetically attracted their atoms must be aligned so as to cause a magnetic dipole. Without that they would be magnetically neutral to one another. The conditions here are not such that these two candles could spontaneously align their atomic spins order to create dipoles causing them to attract.
Simple....They're in love. Got the hots 4 each other! Here's another phenomenon! Do you see three little pigs here---> :@ ) :@ ) :@ ) I can't explain it!
ever eat cheerios? when you've eaten all but a few, they clump together just like the candles. this is due to surface tension - the water rises up on the sides of the cheerio/candle, forming a meniscus that attracts other objects via surface tension. all that talk about the heat from candles is BS. cheerios don't have heat either.
I belive it's the rising beam of heat, above those two candles, who force those two flowting object towards eachothers. I do not belive the same fenomenon will accure when the candles are not lighten up.
This may also be caused by Static and Surface Tension. Another one is by Gravity. Like when I open a faucet in Australia/Japan/Middle East/ etc.. The water will start to spin and go down the drain in a Counter Clockwise current. And the opposite around on USA/Canada/Belgium.
thats a horrible answer! even though what you said is true, the gravitational force is so small that it would take centuries for those candles to get anywhere
Anyways - if I was to make a guess here, I would say that the hot air created by the candles caused a low pressure area, with cooler air rushing in to take its place. The candles themselves probably shield a part of that air rushing in from each other, causing an overall pushing force towards each other... The same would probably happen in the water as well, but I would think to a lesser extent.
The candles are hot. The hot candle will push hot water away, and the support in the edge of the tub force the candle toward the middle. Gravity is an issue, but not enough to "slam" them together like that. The last moment before impact, the surface tension in the water forced them together. Just like the farthest candle at the tubs edge stuck there for a moment untill the heat of the candle released it and pushed it to the middle.
It's becouse of the waters molecural structure. It's like you place 2 iron balls on a sheet of paper. The paper changes it's form and the balls meet at the same place

The flame sucks in air so it pulls it together. along with the meniscus effect.

the surface tension of the water creates a meniscus and the candles drift down to the bottom of the dip
