That's cool, but I don't understand the physics involved. Like how those rings are formed and why they don't quickly rise to the surface, like any conventional bubble does.

Thanks for posting this. My whole family watched the video - twice - last night. My son who is taking Marine Biology was especially interested.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Hey, I'll take one of those inflatable post counts!

This was beautiful. I had to watch it a couple of times, just to enjoy watching the dolphins play. Thanks, thguy, for the link to the explanation. (And I still smile every time I see your sweet baby's smile!)
