There's a lot of concern right now about the future of Earth based astronomy with the prospect of thousands more satellites getting in the way of ground based telescopes. What's the balance between science & culture vs worldwide network accessablility?

The interaction of electrical fields and liquids can lead to phenomena that defies intuition. A famous example is the Floating Water Bridge: a slender thread of water held between two glass beakers in which a high voltage difference is applied. Surprisingly, the water bridge defies gravity even when the beakers are separated at distances up to 2 cm.
