In either The Smoke Ring (or was it The Intergral Trees?), Larry Niven describes the coolest thing ever; a swim in a zero-G bubble of water. I've wanted to do this since I read the description. . . which, judging from this demonstration, Niven described very well.



Imagine lighting off a few scuba tanks in the center and swimming through the edge just to surround yourself with an unsupported wall of cool clearness. The mind boggles.
