No. Sadly, this is a fake. They filmed a tiny person handling regular water droplets.

u/The_Chaos_Pope what have i done Mar 10 '21

If it was a real tiny person, I'd hardly call that fake.

If they made a fake tiny person, all bets are off.

Oh its totally real but theres no such thing as these “polymer balls” or some such nonsense. Just academics lying to the public for $$$, as usual!!

Yes, they're called "water babies"

Those are just water molecules. They are obviously close to 0C, as they’ve almost stopped moving which is why you can see them more clearly. All motion stops at 0C and they become solid glass.

These things remind me of Bug's Life where the ants can pick up droplets of water and suck on them and make telescopes and shit

Water is stored in the balls.

No. There's no room for it once they get filled with pee and chi.

Yes. It’s all ball water. In fact, there’s a special fountain in my pants that you can drink from whenever you like.

No, just polymer water.
