my guess is that light breaks through glass at the same angle as it does in glycerine

I hope that isn't nitro glycerin...

It looks like the glycerin bottle just appears "wider" because of the refraction. You can see the edges of the bottle beside the edges of the glass.

0:32 You can see the sides of the bottle.

#4 good guess, but no... Did this in my physic class once, just with a special kind of bio oil and then plastic bottles...

What happens is that the glycerine and the bottles have the same "light through factor". I don't know an English word of it, but because that the light is going through the glycerine and the bottles just as easy in both, your eye cant see any different between them! Normally you would see the bottle by the shape in water. But you can't here, that's why it looks like it disappear!:)

Thats all good but i just don't see how this vid is even remotely cool for this site.

I think it'll look cool if he shined a flashlight on it

#12 it's called refraction index.

I enjoyed that vid and # 10 agreed and #12 & #18 explains the physics behind the "spooky mystery".

I think its a decent Vid though..Better than all them lame cat vids, pity we couldn't make them disappear with three bottles of glycerin.

I'd gladly buy them and donate them. >:) >:) >:)

I wonder if I would disappear if I were to submerge myself in an equally "light through factor" liquid. Maybe beer would work.

if you want to disappear you can just simply hold your hands in front of your eyes. what cant see, cant be seen.

#4 and #12, you are both right. It's the optical density which is almost identical for both, the glass bottle and the glycerin.
Still you can see the glass bottle in the drinking glass. There is a narrow gap between the tow, clearly visible. If it was water, the gap would be much wider and the bottle easier to spot.

#12 the name is the refractive index. the light is bent through the glycerin at the same angle as it is through the glass bottle so it appears to have vanished.
