Water

This is too cool...



The video contains no computer-aided visual effects or post processing...it's because:

YouTube user Brusspup took a subwoofer (a speaker which provides deep bass tones for music) and set it to the same frequency as the frame rate of his video camera. Then, he pumped water through a small plastic hose directly in front of the woofer, which vibrates the water as it flows into a pan below.
Because the water is vibrating at the same rate that the camera is recording, the water appears to freeze in mid air. By slightly tweaking the speaker's frequency, the water can even appear to flow up from below. 

 What minds can conceive!
