I captured the moon in a bucket of water once.WhoWee said:While visiting my sister's restaurant one afternoon, one of the employees (carrying a stainless steel bucket) pulled me to the side and inquired how he might capture steam in his bucket? I replied "HUH"...and investigated further.
Apparently, someone had sent him across the street to McDonald's (with the bucket) to request they fill it with steam...to do some cleaning.
I looked around to make sure the joke wasn't on me (it wasn't)...so... I suggested he visit PF to seek assistance.
Did anyone help the young lad?
Well, photons in a bucket full of liquid helium below the superconducting critical temperature do have a mass. This bucket would very much look like filled with steam. Both statements are still valid in a falling elevator, at least until impact.Hootenanny said:I think it was that wonderful debate on whether a photon has mass.

You may be thinking about this: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0404086Ivan Seeking said:Perhaps someone else remembers the reference. I recall that PF was cited in a published physics paper.

Until Zz pops in and notices that I crackpotedly claimed that superfluid Helium is superconductor.Evo said:You are so funny!
