The cannonball is like a float in mercury.

It does not sink only due to the fact that the density of iron is less than that of mercury.

"One morning at the gates of the Louvre", 19th-century painting by Édouard Debat-Ponsan. (Catherine de' Medici portrayed is in black) This painting depicts the aftermath of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572. This wave of catholic mob violence against the Huguenots was said to have been instigated by the King's mother, Catherine de' Medici. On August 23, the king ordered the killing of a group of Huguenot leaders, and the slaughter spread throughout Paris, as people began to hunt Protestants throughout the city, including women and children. Lasting several weeks, the massacre expanded outward to other urban centres and the countryside, claiming thousands of victims.

Scientists in the USA have created a microscopic camera the size of a grain of salt. It can take pictures at the same level as lenses five hundred thousand times larger. Such a gadget will be useful for doctors — it allows you to see problems in the human body, and it can also be used in the manufacture of robots and equip the most miniature machines with "vision".
