If you swam to an inverted surface, would you fall out?

The surface tension wouldn't be enough to keep that much water up. It would all just fall out

assuming the water magically stayed up there and you exhaled then you would fall out.

>>9053067
It's not really about surface tension.

It actually all depends on the seal and if it can hold atmospheric pressure so no air rushes in.

Try doing it with a glass cup in your sink and tell me how it works out for you. Lifting water with a seal like that doesn't work for anything larger diameter than an inch

Assuming the situation you presented is possible, there's really no reason why you should fall out. if the water isn't moving and you can keep yourself floating in the same space, gravity wouldn't magically pull you out of it unless you were to exit the water itself because then bouyancy wouldn't be holding you in it as well or any longer
The only problem with the scenario is actually making the water behave like that in the first place

Why wouldn't it work like with a straw? Suck Water and then close it off, simple. it stays floating - you stay floating, and you can be like a fish

>>9053666
same reason if you did it with a very long straw, it wouldnt work i suspect. The weight of the water becomes too great for the material holding it, which causes it to fail, introducing a pressure leak.

just my guess though.

I've seen it done with a 5mL erlenmeyer flask, but the mouth was maybe 4 mm in diameter.

>>9053670
an ideal machine has no pressure leaks. thats like saying that you might be able to hear the goats behind the walls in monty python problem

>>9053092
you're right, it's just retarded in general.

>>9053059
As you moved more of your body into the air you would have less bouyancy causing you to "sink" into the air.

So yes you would fall out.

The same reason you can't build your house out of wiggly gelatin desert. It will just collapse on itself.
