  • Cool, could you tell us the secret?

  • NO....................jklolz

    It's just pyrex and vegetable oil.

    Since they have the same refraction index, light passes through without changing speed, making the pyrex test tube seem invisible.

  • TOTALLY! The pyrex has to be halo doesn't it? This is good to know...

    what if something is inside the pyrex, will it disapear as well?

  • it will still work with a slid piece of pyrex, as long as there is no air in it.

    Something in the pyrex will not disappear, it will merely appear to float in the oil.

  • lol your name would just be dlane 5

    plus i would not suggest using that oil for anything other than that physics trick because it is NARSTY

  • yes, i'm not very creative

    don't worry, the oil is long gone.

see all
