This mesmerizing phenomenon occurs because liquid oxygen is highly paramagnetic (attracted to magnets), and it boils at an incredibly low temperature, roughly 200°C colder than room temperature.This massive temperature difference triggers the Leidenfrost effect, where the liquid oxygen instantly vaporizes upon contact with a warmer surface, creating a protective cushion of gas that allows the droplet to "dance" or skate across the surface without friction.Science and facts💡
