Man is lifted by 100 helium balloons about 8,000 feet high.
 So, we all know about balloons, right? Those fun, air-filled balls that you see at parties and celebrations. You may think they are just ordinary objects of everyday life, but might there be science behind it? The amount a balloon can carry as weight is connect to the "Archimedes' Principle", or rather the law of buoyancy. The law of buoyancy states that "any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant, force, the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid." This basically signifies to upthrust. If a body filled with air, such as a balloon, is placed underwater, it will come back to the surface if you let it go. This was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes, leading to the name, " The Archimedes Principle." Here, we see that sometimes, even fun is related to science.
