I just wanted to share this video that very nicely explains why things float. It's quite interesting

Thanks, Brian.
Interesting thing about the things that float, take the balloon for instance it floats on the surface somewhat but in order to submerge it completely you simply have to add a stream of bubbles underneath, this breaks the surface tension and causes even the lightest things to sink.

That's something to think about.
