How can you make bubbles filled with water floating in water? An interesting video introduces antibubbles as part of a larger series about physics. The narrator brings in physics students at different levels, college and PhD, to demonstrate and explain the concept. Antibubbles happen just as commonly as regular bubbles, but we rarely observe them.
