I had a toy sand when I was a child that didn't get wet. There was some tools to use to let it into the water and after you got it out it was dry and sandy again.

Why would it sink? Didn't you just watch him say he feels _more_ buoyant than usually? And yes, it should significantly reduce friction, so boats _should_ travel faster.
Silica aerogel isn't chemically very hazardous, but easily reduces to irritant dust, or on water just goes from floating to disintegrating as the pores saturate. This isn't that, unless in small fragments to puff up some dominant sealant or binder. But, what is being demonstrated here?

Fun fact! We actually don’t have a sensory signal for ‘wet’. Instead, it’s all about temperature and texture! This is why it’s hard to sometimes tell if something (ex. Fabric) is wet or if it’s just cold.
@@Em-jc7ctsoap has a hydrophobic and hydrophilic side in its molecules, meaning the oil part sticks to the oil/ most if not all hydrophobic molecules, and the hydrophilic side sticks to the water, washing it away That’s why your skin is dry after washing
Flying cars no, but we will be using tubes to travel really fast though. See the point is making a car that flies can be achieved but think about the traffic and sometimes breaches it is bound to create. I mean there is a reason why Governments don't allow drones .
Would you not sweat or would it just bead an roll like rain x? I can't sweat on 52% of my skins total surface area and it's a real bummer as that it feels like I get hot and just can't disapate the heat if I don't take corrective actions quickly. I sweat extra on the places I can sweat but it's ineffective.
I can see this of it remains being a health problem . If one left this on them for a year ,the good germs on one’s skin would die out . I mean it would kill all of time but the moment you have it off , infections can turn serious we otherwise don’t worry about . Believe me , I learned the hard way about skin when mine started drying out , Bugs , viruses and dust now I have to watch
Fun fact: Humans do not have a wetness receptor in our nerve system. When we feel wet, what we actually felt was temperature difference and we associated that as wet, rather than wetness itself. That's why during the winter we often have problem figuring out whether our washed clothes are still wet/damp or are they just cold. So when he said that he doesn't feel wet, what actually happened was that his body didn't feel the temperature difference between when he was inside and outside the pool. He would've felt the same sensation if had used a warming gel instead of aerogel.
Not completely though. Wet feels different on our skin compared to dry skin and it's not just temperature difference. But that's resistance and air movement. So his hair not being wet would be a big difference. Even if you were to make the water and air the same temperature (which sort of makes it feel like you're not wet as well) there's still a difference. But yeah. It's fascinating how "wet" is a combination of sensations based solely off of constant comparison vs pretty much any other sensation humans experience 😂😂😂
Diving suits are mostly to prevent getting cold and not to prevent getting wet. I dont see how this saves him from the cold when he is surrounded by cold water.
I feel like it would be more expensive than conventional tricks or cgi. The coating in its current state is very fragile, which is why he's trying not to move too much. Depending on how long the shoot is and how awkward the movement is they might need to reapply it multiple times. And who knows what the health-effects would be since it means water is also locked into your skin ie: you can't sweat
They did something cool like that in the abyss but was that they were breathing water. Not the same but similar cool effect still find it such a great part to a movie and it based on real science.
You feel more buoyant due to the presence of increased air pressure. This pressure is due to the bubble that normally wouldn't exist if you didn't force the water away
