Gravity rules, well most of the time.

In this 4m video from the journal Nature, gravity is defied. A toy boat is made to float upside down under the constraints of experimental conditions. Turns out constant vibrations can change the forces on a floating object. 

Here is the video with a short explanation and a link to the related technical paper.
