    @KSG this isn't true. The rate at which helium is escapes is extremely slow. Helium shortages happen when helium plants shut down. What we are running out of is the federal helium reserve. Helium is so easy to obtain nowadays that the US government has decided to let private companies produce it and is trying to get rid of its stockpile Edit: Forgot to mention that we can also make helium through any radioactive decay, as He-4 is identical to an alpha particle. As long as there is any radioactive substance on earth, there will be helium. Worst case scenario we can try to do nuclear fusion with hydrogen obtained from the electrolysis of water to artificially make helium too

    The funny thing is, the helium balloons move up, not because they are lighter than air, but because a pressure of air at the bottom of the balloon is slightly higher than pressure of air at the top of the balloon. This is true, even if fluid is fully in-compressible, as in-compressible fluids in gravitational field (constant or slowly changing) still do have pressure gradient.
