Mind Bending Photos of When the Laws of Physics Were Put to the Test

Everyone has a general understanding of how gravity works. Obviously, everything we do is related to gravity! Sometimes, gravity breaks. And by that, we mean that physics is just too much to handle for things to be real, but they very much are. None of these photos are photoshopped, and some you can even try on your own! Get your physics on!

A Very Talented Goat

Before you say anything, yes, this is the goat behind the “It craves that mineral!” meme. In reality, these goats are actually wild. They climb these hills in order to lick the minerals off of it and end up clinging onto the tiniest crevices to hang off of.

Jesse the Jeep Was Here

This ice storm ended up leaving the grill of a jeep still standing. It’s probably super delicate, but it’s still crazy to even see it happen!

The Way This Mug Broke

This mug is screwing with peoples minds with this crazy break! Almost looks like a super cool illusion.

Frozen Noodles

The temperature outside was -60 degrees Celsius. Needless to say, researchers in Antarctica probably can’t eat many things outside.

Nothing To See Here

This cat decided that breaking into this truck was a must… Then, he got caught.

Wind and Ice

These icicles ended up this way after a windy and cold day… Honestly, it just looks like creepy monster fingers!

Ice Sheet Roof

This woodsy area ended up flooding. Once the water receded, the ice layer on top stayed, creating a pretty cool fort-looking thing! Gravity is crazy.

This Cat Is Asleep

We should all know by now that cats do not respect the laws of gravity. This cat is no different.

Hanging On The Water

He’s just chilling on the waters surface, super casual!

Can’t Mess With This Guy

If you’re on your way to work and you see someone riding their bike, balancing a gas cylinder and a watermelon on their head, you best be headed the other way because the laws of physics are halted for this man.

Perfect Snow Curl

Somehow, in some way, the most perfect snow curl was created without fail. I wouldn’t even try to knock it down!

Rock Stacking to the Extreme

Someone stumbled upon this crazy masterpiece on the beach one morning. If done right, these will stay until someone takes it apart! Once again, physics is nuts.

Magnets Are Easiest To Stock

They ran out of room on the rack for the magnets, but luckily, they stuck together just fine!

I’ll Save You!

Somehow and for some reason, this spider decided that it liked this icicle the most.

This Coin Is So Light…

This Japanese 1 Yen coin is so light that it doesn’t break the surface tension of water. Apparently, it’s made of 100% Aluminum.

No Gravity More Me!

Sometimes, when the dog gets too excited, gravity decides to turn off.

Please Restart Your Software

The dog seems to be suffering from a malfunction.

Melty Ice

This dog was walking over a lake that had a melty and slushy ice layer on it, making it seem like he was walking on water!

How Is This Possible?

This is when physics gets really crazy… And dangerous! Well, to wine lovers at least.

The Sink on a Cruise Ship

This makes it seem like gravity broke, but in reality, the cruise ship was just tilting quite a bit to give off this illusion.

Balancing Act

You can use this trick at parties! I have no idea how to do it, but you can try!

Pencil Stacker

That gigantic pencil tower is literally being held by four other pencils… How!?

Design Is Cool

These tables were designed to look “anti-gravity” and definitely succeed in that! The chains look like they are being pulled into the sky.

Bored? Stack Some Bowling Balls

Somehow, this kid managed to balance 10 bowling balls on top of each other by using some sort of magic, we assume.

How Many Drops of Water Can a Penny Hold?

Have you ever wondered? No? Well, we have the answer anyway: 137 drops!

Cats Are Witches

This cat managed to find it’s perfect spot on top of all of these boxes… Without falling.

Some People Go Too Far

This is impressive, but also terrifying. Falling off of that is one way to get to the hospital! Also… How is he planning on getting down?

Casually Stacks Pianos

Sometimes, you can’t ask questions… You just have to accept the fact that this is a thing that happened and move on.

The Perfect Balance

This piece of driftwood had been chilling like that for almost a week before it finally fell off. Pretty impressive!

Pringles Frame!

Obviously, they just want the Pringles.

Walkin’ On Water

Of course, this is just a perfectly timed photo, but it gives off the hilarious illusion of this dog frantically running on the pool!

Physics Is Too Much

This is the kind of stuff that anyone can do, but I’m positive that I can’t. This doesn’t look like it should work, but it does…? How?

Prove Me Wrong

There was a challenge going around about this… They said you can balance a ruler on a surface with a hammer. This guy said it wouldn’t work. Then, he was totally proven wrong by the bizarre laws of physics.

Thirsty?

G-force is a pretty crazy thing.

Steer Clear of this Tree

Even if this tree was just being held up by other branches on top, this is still… terrifying.

This Is Something To Try

Structures like this are why physics class can actually be fun!

Bored at the Bodega

When you’re restocking the cigarettes but it’s 2 in the morning and no one is in the shop… It’s time to get creative.

How Do I Undo This

You’re going to make a mess when you undo these… And you’ll be wasting all that juice. Was it worth it? My answer: Kind of.

“I Can Balance Almost Anything On My Nose”

This sunglasses salesman has many a talent, one being a master of physics.

Snow is Doing It’s Best

It’s like a snow inchworm!

Not As Messy As It Could Have Been

None of the water got onto the rug by some bizarre force of science!

Nothing Is Real

The people who have a solid understanding of physics and a lot of time are the ones to be wary of…

Okay, Walmart

This is cool, but also a huge injury risk.

I’m Not Bald

Here, with the help of gravity, he shows that he is not bald!

The Irony

This parent thought it was funny that all of these figurines sink except the one that is supposed to be metal!

New Purpose For Jenga

Jenga itself is definitely a force to be reckoned with, but this new way to build is also impressive!

Casual Frame Balancing

This looks fun and relaxing as well as challenging!

Going To The Extreme

Someone got a little crazy with all of their physics and balancing power.

Dog Bone Magic

Someone found their dogs bone exactly how they left it… Like, exactly.

Freezing Up?

Ice really does not regard the laws of gravity!

The Last Half Hour of Work…

This person deserves a promotion!

A True Balancing Act

This must have taken a good amount of patience!

Bummer Snowman

This snowman is truly defying gravity as he meets his likely demise.

Floating Pie

Obviously, it just froze to the back of the fridge, but it still makes a funny looking illusion of a magic pie!

Path of Least Resistance

If this makes the most sense, sure! You go, water!

Liquid Magic

This lemon somehow created two halves of an iced tea… Magic!

Stuck The Landing

This broom slid off the counter and then stuck the landing. Perfect balance.
