@JustWonderingHowToDo The water under the sphere is pressurized. The high pressure pushes up on the sphere, keeping it from touching the stone base. It doesn't really "float," it just gets pushed up by the pressure. Some water leaks out from around the edges cause of the pressure, hence the water flowing out. Because the ball isn't in contact with the base, and only touches water, there's almost no friction, so you can move the incredibly heavy ball with your hand.
Anyone knows the physics behind it floating?
