yeah.. brain drain seems to be at the completion....

I understand what the idiot is trying to prove... there's a flaw... this guy thinks weight is same as the mass. He keeps on saying a floating glass lost 100 g...  the mass cannot vanish. That 100 gram mass of water is right there (see the diagram below). And the weight of that mass of water (= 0.1kg X 10 m/s/s = 1N) is also still there. That mass of water floats because the pressure from below multiplied by area equals exactly 1 N, which happens to be equal to 100 g of water. That's Archimedes Baje's principle. Therefore, the density of liquid supporting that glass matters... here it's water. If it's mercury, then the floating glass would be floating much above than shown in the diagram.

I agree floating glass (containing 100 g water, assume paper glass has zero gram) can be put inside another glass containing 25 gm of water and make it float (without touching the wall of the glass). Where is the 75 gm of water? Well, if you start the experiment with the bottom glass full of water.. the 75 g of water would have spilled over. In his experimenting he only avoided that spillage !!!!!!


Now I really suspect Baburam Bhattarai's phd !!! ha ha ha.
