Sammy Salter submitted this cool photo. It represents a glass of milk that somehow managed to beat all those world known scientists trying to break the forces of gravity! Sammy even provided a video clip that proves the authenticity, and shows that no Photshop editing occurred! The solution to this optical illusion in fact is quite simple. Can you solve it? Try it! Be sure to open this article to see all three photos! If you have a spare minute, be sure to check dozen of more interesting video optical illusions inside the “Videos Category“. Enjoy!
is it frozen?
i bet its fake plastic milk
it vanallia Pudding.
Paint? or Pudding?
Gelatin added?
It isn’t milk, my guess is it’s cream cheese or something like that. I buy glass jars of white spreadable cheese that look pretty much just like that.
No, I don’t think it’s frozen. The video shows that the surface quivels when he moves the glas.
I don’t think it is milk, I don’t even think it is a liquid. It seems to be a semi-solid substance, some kind of gelantine perhaps.
xDD Condensed milk!
u_____u I don’t know. My mind’s not working properly today.
i recon that its not liquid, it could be come sort of display cup from the fromt of a shop.
it’s gel!
not milk?
It’s vannilla pudding!
it is thickened
maybe like gelatine milk in the top?
That or it is yogurt.
It’s a solid block of somethin white i think?
i dont think thats real milk
Simple it’s not milk. probably a yogurt… the video clip did not show Sammy pouring the milk into the glass. thus, we can only assume that it is not a liquid form of milk.
Not milk? Something like white paint, or milk with gelatin added?
Looking at the video, the liquid does move when tilted, just not very much…
is the table tilted…?
I think its either that he has had his entire house tilted in three different directions (I.e, the glass is actually perfectly straight and the house is tilted) or that isn’t milk. Perhapse the ‘milk glass’ in the title only refers to the glass itself, not its contents…
no, it’s not frozen
It’s curdled milk.
no, it’s not frozen
It’s curdled milk.
maybe its glue instead of milk????!!! o.O
paint?….
that thing is not milk. It could be custard or puding or something like that…
I think its jello or something like that. Watch the video and you can see it jiggle!
maybe it’s some really thick yogurt or sumthin…
is it buttermilk?
I’m assuming it’s not milk at all. I’ve seen plenty of fake liquids in my time, things pretending to be water or soda, for example. This could just be some solid white substance.
I can’t get the video to work, so I’m not sure if I’m missing out on anything. It’s also quite likely the milk is frozen (if it’s in fact milk).
After watching the video, I think there’s some kind of covering over the top of the milk. If you look carefully you can see that the milk still tries to pour the way the glass is angled, but there’s something stopping it.
Cool illusion nonetheless.
It’s not milk it’s glue
omg thats s0oo not pure milk it is a jelly texture u almost will have to be soo dumb to not notice that go watch the clip
He must be spinning around.
Because I’m fairly sure he doesn’t. The liquid in the cup seems a bit too thick to be milk. Though it surely is a liquid as it moves when he places it down on the table. Either that or a solid suspension in liquid. Also of note is the fact that the liquid inside the cup does in fact move as he tilts the cup. There is just a film on the cup which makes it appear that it isn’t. What does everyone else think?
is it jell-o?
Weird. No guesses here. Best thing I could think of is that it has a transparent blockage… :/
is it glue????
it is frozen and if you can not tell then you are stupid
I think my glass of milk would do that if I left it out for a week too.
im gonna agree with j, its gotta be frozen
lame
Looks like yogurt. Is it?
looks like yogurt…
gotta be frozen or just ice cream
You can see the meniscus quite clearly. It can be seen to move slowly in the video, indicating the mixture is very thick. My guess is that a gelatin was used to thicken the milk.
That’s fake plastic milk with a little water on top of it.
Gelatin, I’d bet, or maybe Elmer’s Glue.
Of course its frozen can’t u see. if you watch the video it will become more clearer. the milk doesn’t even shake but that was a cool illusion
Elmer’s glue?
candle wax… not really milk
It isn’t milk, it is spreadable cheese. I’ve bought some just like that – glass and all.
It curd not milk.
I think its yoghurt or really old milk.
no its just the way the camera is angled
i’m thinking it’s jelly?
I think it’s full of glue, not milk.
it looks like yogurt or something
thats my guess, or its some other substance
Maybe the table is on an angle, with glass actually being held straight up.
Is it full of glue, not milk?
tricky huh? the truth is he is using a special powder that hardens any liquid in a matter of seconds. if you have a “magician” store near you they should carry it. its a fun joke to play on your friends with their beer!!!!!
The milk become cheese… =D
My bet is that it is pudding or yogurt.
It looks like glue…
definitely looks frozen
it is plastic milk they make for the kitchen sets for children. I am sure
This is easy. The glass doesnt have real milk in it but the fake plastic one that are shown in stores. For example in furniture stores they have wine glasses that spilled on a counch but the wine is fake
it is the candle thingee that they put
I think its vanilla pudding because in the video when its places down it wiggles.
is it fake milk? lol
looks like jelly on the video
It’s not milk!
the milk was left out to harden, creating a layer which would make it seem that the milk is not moving with gravity
gellatin?
Looks like gelatin has been added to the milk. It seems to jiggle a little bit when it is moved.
It’s not milk. It’s glue.
Here’s my theory. It’s not milk.(duh) Mix starch with water until it’s thick. Then pour into the glass, making sure not to drip it onto the edge (for appearance).
It’s JELLO! :-)
GLUE?
i think, the milk is spoilt… that´s the reason, why the door in the background is open :)
the milk is spoilt… that´s the reason, why the door in the background is open ;)
It’s a glass of glue or silicon
Maybe the milk has gone off and is completely solidified…
It’s not even milk..if it were milk and if it where frozen it would have another consistency…it probably is glue…plus he/she shakes it to fast to know it if it is anything other than glue…but it is defenitely not milk…milk moves alot when shaken and this is defenitly not milk!!!
I think its glue. In the video, you can see it move around a little, but it’s much more viscous than milk. Cool illusion though.
I think that the milk isnt real!
Condensed Milk
i thought that at first but i think that it is gelatinus material… jello to be simple
My guess is it is Elmers White Glue. I couldn’t see the video though.
Ummm… it’s not a liquid.
it don’t look like milk to me! more like paint!
it’s spoiled milk, or it’s mixed with glue.
The milk is moving (as shown in the third picture) but 1stly it is thick milk, maybe yoghurt or cream? Also, the milk is moving, but because the thick milk is sticking to the side of the glass it looks like the line of milk is straight arond the glass. a clever illusion, and if that is not correct, then please tell me how!
Ugh. When milk goes off it gets a thick layer of sticky smelly goo over the top that causes it to behave just like the milk in this picture. I hope that’s not how Sammy did it.
is it spoiled
is it actually solid?
you want that anti-gravity-milk too? just fill a glass of milk and wait …um…let’s say two weeks :D
I think there is very little milk there, most of the white is solid and only on the top there is milk.
Milk or Yoghourt ?
well he only tilted the glass a little and the milk did tilt as well. i think it’s cause of the “remnants” of the milk on the glass that hasn’t flowed down yet. I’D LIKE TO SEE HIM TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN.
has it gone off and turned solid?
It reminds me of some gel candles I have. I’m thinking the milk is nearly frozen or mixed with gelatine to make it solidify. There’s a bit of movement which makes me think it’s not completely solidified.
i dont have a clue.. it looks like glue to me..
where is the answer?
its PVA Glue isnt it
It seem yogurt
It seems frozen
It seems yogurt
Yogurt?
The bottom photo showes the “milk” being pulled to the lower side of the glass.
is the table skew?
Its yoghurt =)
I’d have to say it’s either frozen, refrigerated, or just off.
it’s possible that a really fast shutter camera was usewd to take the pic as it was leaned b4 the liquid moved which also explains the “jiggly”surface on the last pic
computer wont let me see the video, so i may be wrong, but i think that the table/ camera are tilted, and the milk is really straight…..maybe the video shows differently?
listen it’s OBVIOUS because I’ve seen this jillions of times!!! The table is tilted and the glass is straight!!! no glue!!!
the milk is very old and thats the reason why the door in the background is open…
the milk is very old and thats the reason why the door in the background is open…
its painted on the glass
Its yogurt, milk turns into yogurt like this when you leave it outside and add yeast…
Trust me , we make yogurt to eat everyday like this
I think it’s mixed with gellatin to make it thick. Also, all the people who think its frozen milk, you’re two things, dumb and wrong. When milk is frozen the fats in it clump togther and make it look yelloe, the stuff in the glass isn’t yellow, duh.
It’s something that dries to form a solid; and it just dries pretty fast.
glue would probably work.. preferably a super-fast drying one.
its condensed milk or milk mixxed with gellatin
It IS milk. i know. i did it.
He is around the earth, near the moon
i go to school with sammy, and like he says “It IS milk. i know. i did it.”
You could, of course, just use a clingfilm (seran wrap or whatever it is you Americans call it). Pop it on, heat it up to mould it. Job done. Liquid’s movement is then limited.
If you look at the video, the distortion around the top centimeter of so of the glass seems more than a video atrefact.
It’s GLUE! I’m so smart!
It has been left out to sit for a certain amount of time to get it to the right consistency.
haha wtf??? its youghurt or sumthin don to the milk cos u can see where it has been on da side of da glass in da 3rd pic…?? can u jus tell us alredy plz :P its kewl neway lol
The liquid is milk.
The house is on a hill and is not build vertical. The same with the table.
Maybe there’s a small bit of glass or plastic or cling film covering the liquid so it doesn’t fall out.
Due to the reflection on top, and the shade near the top of the cup in the pictures (I couldn’t get the video to work:-( ) there is a thick piece of plastic that goes down about an inch into the cup, the cup is painted white and was always from being bought, there really is not much milk at all, but an elabrite set of mirrors on the inside, causing there to be a projection of it sloshing around slightly in the video (or so I understand) so it jiggles, but not enough to either hit the mirrors or the plastic, therefore, the illusion, hologramic projection.
i think its just the angle of the camera and the table and everything else is just not at a flat surface!
its probably not milk.
but once, wen we were in Florida, my brother had a bottle of water and quickly turned it upside down, and then upright agen. he might hav just quickly turned it over and then upright. i dunno. but i couldnt get the video to work either so maybe thats y i dont no wat is causing it.
cleverly done anyway!!
its ooblek you mix corn starch (or somthing like that) with water and when there is heat it liquifys but if there isnt it is more of a gelitin or glue
if you can even get through all those posts about it being glue? and pudding, or yogurt, and curdled milk??
im sorry idk what kind of pudding or curdled milk YOU’VE been eating, but it doesnt look like that.
obviously as one Michael said “mixture is very thick. My guess is that a gelatin was used to thicken the milk.”
its milky-gelatin
it has to be. no other explanation comes close to the jiggle that it showed at the end when he turned it upright.
thanks!!
he lives on a hill
I agree with night_hawk
They’res like some sorta thin plastic sheet on top uv it.
spoiled milk
you guys are dumb it’s a big white marshmellow.
Im taking the mick. A hologram thing with miorrors? What?!
I believe it’s what’s called a “non-newtonian fluid”. It’s equal parts of water and ordinary corn starch from your kitchen.
Here’s a link to a you tube video showing non-newtonian fluid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuzn8wh8Fys
Could this be what it is?
their is a nickle under the glass of milk
Is it just really old milk that went hard?
Hehe I think you all thinking of it wrong its milk…BUT theres a very thin piece of glass just on top the milk making it look like jelly
Its fat and grease i do this all the time when i make bacon
i think its frozen. definetly.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s definitely milk… Seems Sammy is very lazy. Looks to me like he poured a full glass of milk and let it sit. And sit. And sit. The fact that it jiggles in the video shows that it is gelled, but not quite solid yet. After years of cleaning up after lazy kids, I knew what this was right away.
He’s spinning the glass, if this is real milk. Spinning/rolling the base, the lip of it not moving, so at an angle centripital (sp =/) force keeps it ‘flat’
easy;
the house is tipped, not the glass.
The surface on which they’re taking the video/photo is tilting, so relative to the true ground, the milk isn’t.
maybe he added glue.
no, there’s no mixture added to it, nor a gel, glue, or whatever. it’s an illusion, that photo was taken inside a tilted house. thats it, thats the explaination. in your perception, your brain recognizes it as a normal house.but its tilted at 25 degrees from the horizontal. its illusion is very strong as well. why dont you try one, build your own tilted house.
It’s not a tilted house, LOOK OUTSIDE! I bet it’s not milk either.
Its obvious Yoghurt.
Check out the third picture and its really clear.
Love the site, and my iGoogle widget!
Keep up the good work!

There’s a trick you can do with a glass of water that ends up acting the same way (I think), and I doubt milk has too much of a different density for it not to work- you make a small hole in the cup (with the liquid still in it), and then cover it up with your thumb. The pressure is supposed to make the fluid stay in place while you swing the glass around.
It’s Corn Starch mixed with water!! Really cool try it at home!!
a little water mixed with alot of cornstarch
Its so damn cool
was junk it added?
did something like this when i took biology
i think it is patially frozen, like when you make ice, and you go to get some, but only the top is ice, you can see the water under it, but if you tilt it it wont move or spill. (:
I think thats a candle but just like its in a jar because ym mum has 1 just like it!!!!
2 parts cornstarch 1 part water. Duh. do it. It looks liquid but when you touch it it gets hard, try it out, mad fun.
This is obvious that its either Not Milk AT ALL, or a spoiled milk, that isnt edible.
I think that the whole thing is solid, or gelatin like, but has a little bit of thin white fluid (white shoe polish with water?lol), to make it look life its “Shaking” or “moving around”.
I think We All know this IS NOT “ANTI GRAVITY MILK”.
Its a 3/5 star illusion cause only like a little Puddle on the top was moving, but the rest was like fossilized tofu or something lol.
Good AT triking people with the title and the first glance though.
P.S.- ANTI GRAVITY MILK?! THats hilarious!
i know for 100% fact that it is curdled milk, i have had this happen to me when i left a glas of milk out over night 2 summers ago and i didnt have any air conditioning i went to dump it in the sink thinking it was fine and it did that exact thing where the top kind of bubles and u can tell that its liquid inside if the person holding the glass were to keep tilting the glass then the milk would breakthrough the top(it gets gell like) but its really groose when that happens, if you dont beleive me try it urself, leave a glass of milk out for a few days and if ur paitent enough you can do this “illusion” urself(all though i do warn you that it smells REALLY bad when its dumped out and ive learned to NEVER do that againand about not seeing the milk being poured its because it usualy has to sit for a couple days to get like that
It’s jelly.
It’s a mixture of cornstarch and water. See youtube for more applications.
I know people prob have tried it before but it’s def corn starch and water! soooooooo easy!
It’s milk…probably with semi-dried white PVA glue ontop of it?
I only see one picture and the video… is someone going to tell us when they guess right?
Na its cornstarch or wteva the f*%# its called with water, the less water the harder it goes, its not a trick, its like gluing a ball to the roof and saying wow its amazing…….gay
fake
yes its fake – you got to remember that this was initially an old illusion and most of the effect was got from the pictures, not the video. yes its fake, so what? did you really expect to see “real” anti gravity milk, as if such a thing exists.
To the haters, its not meant to be real and blow you’re mind, you’re meant to think about how I did it, duh. To be fair, maybe it did look a lot cooler when you could see the pictures and not the video, as the video was only meant to prove that it was “really” milk anyway.
probably just frozen!
or like someone said, yogurt1
J-E-L-L-O
It’s no camera tiltig, photoshop, or camera tilting behind a greenscreen, (which would’ve looked more realistic). The substance inside is glue, most likely carpenter’s glue.
something to do with pressure i suppose… (and a tilted house?!?! Really?? That seems a bit much… was the world outside tilted as well???)
Allowed milk to sit in glass until it “set” up.
maybe its glue :)
I think its a fake. It seemed to shine when light hit the surface of the “milk” and it seemed really plasticy. Anyone have a reason?
All you have to do to achieve this affect is add some Knox gelatin mix to the milk. Some liquid would pool on top after setting giving it the almost liquid look. It’s jello-milk.
YaY ThAt WaS A WaIsT Of TiMe
Gelatine obviously
if it were taken in a tilted house she wouldnt be able to tip it side to side
the milk is rotten!I’ve done that before
non newtonian dilatant fluid :| nuff said
the surface wobbled instead of rippling like a vicous fluid would, gelitain has been added
Oh, i know how they do that… they probably um.. put a clear surface against the milk?
OH NO WAIT I WATCHED IT AGAIN ITS EITHER JELLO OR THE TYPE OF YOGURT YOU HAVE TO STIRR BEFORE YOU EAT IT!!!!!1 CUZ WHEN THE GUY PUT IT DOWN, I SAW IT WOBBLE LIKE JELLO OR YOGURT!!!!!
When u pour milk into a glass, & drink some- it leaves an imprint on the glass. The imprint here is really strong so you can’t see through it!! If you look closely, the milk is actually moving, but the imprint is staying on the same place on the glass
i agree with yelsi, i think its imprint that left on glass and the color really strong so we cant see the surface of the milk
Sorry but this is the worst “OI” Ive ever seen.
Was it bought in a little kiosk at blackpool?
he froze the milk
its not milk its something thicker!
that was jelly =_=
obvious pplz!
it’s either frozen or jelly
It’s probably cream or sour cream or something. That’s what it looks like at least the surface has that thick looking texture and milk is a bit whiter than that well it’s hard to explain but most liekly it’s cream.
I cant see the other pics.Really good website with really cool stuff.Thanks…
i think its frozen.
maybe he put glass or plastic over the top. i think that cos the waters rippling. or he couldve put in jelly or yogurt or even frozen milk and poured a tiny layer of milk over the top. its possible.
wow. i’m like 13 and i can solve it:
It’s bad milk. if you leave it out long enough, milk will turn into this cheese yogurt thing that’s solid but looks liqued. that is how he did it. i dare any one of you to try it
It’s fair stupid really.
Its probably either cornstarch and water or partially frozen milk.
I think its Jelly.
I think it’s corn starch and water.
This is clearly not milk. Either that, or its spoiled milk that has been frozen or left out too long. Show me a full video of the milk being poured into the glass, then tilted. I am very dissapointed.
It is simply cornstarch andwater
guys. when milk goes bad or sits out in a glass for days its gets like this. trust me. i love milk and once i left a class out like a dumbass…..
well duh he left it out for a year
I think it’s white glue…
Panna cotta!! looks like milk but like a jelly and you can it eat it taste awesome.
