    it's not so much a matter of weight but more so a matter of displacement. the more water an object displaces, the more buoyant it is. this is why ships are able to stay afloat despite weighing thousands of tons. so in fact, a ship sinking isn't the ship getting heavier, it's the ship displacing less water. sure weigh can affect the buoyancy as well but you don't want to so much as make lighter material as much as make a bigger vessel.

    I'm not too sure about these predictions of violent reactions.... after all a lot of these lelements won't react with each other. The elements that are reactive will probably be scrabbling over the same partners. Only so much oxygen or whatever to go round meaning the violence of the reactions might not be as energetic as expected.

    Because if you added them in equal amounts and had enough of each to see it, all the trans-uranic radioactive nightmares would near-instantly produce radiation and heat sufficient to blow you apart if you were anywhere near it. Let's say you had a gram of each. The astatine alone would give off about a megawatt of radiation constantly, and it's not even the most radioactive thing we know of (by a long shot). The heat from that alone would cause a grenade-like explosion. When you have all the 26 trans-uranic elements in there too, there's no other possibility. You could get an incredible (though probably not nuclear) blast as a result, along with some intense radioactive contamination of everything around. One gram of every element known all at once would produce a fantastically deadly dirty bomb.

    Being able to see things in slow motion adds a whole new dimension to understanding things that happen at high speeds. Another amazing set of videos are the shuttle high speed launch videos (2 vids). You get to see things that just aren't visible to the naked eye. The engine nozzles vibrating is my favorite, along with the oscillating of the SRBs as they pass the cam at something like 7hz? They explain it all in the vid too. Slow motion is amazing. Can't wait to see the following vids! :)

    When I was a kid, we lived across the street from a cylindrical water tower that was partially cut down, resembling an amphitheater. My older brother 'liberated' a one pound chunk of sodium from his H.S. chemistry lab, & dropped it into a pail of water centered in this amphitheater (then ran). It took so long to react that it went off at midnight. It sounded like a large bomb, & made a flash that lit up the city like daylight. We then watched thousands of lights go on all over the city!

    Imagine a plate of sodium with a thin layer of oil on its surface. If that plate was left outside in the rain, would each successive water droplet break through the surface of the oil? If it did, would it create a collage of mini-reactions? or would the water want to pool and cause less, but larger reactions? I dont have the means or knowledge to do this myself, but i think this reaction would look pretty awesome.
