What kind of physics allows this and can we scale this up is all i can think know and i really needed my mind with me today.

Surface tension, cohesion, IMFs, thermodynamics, throw in some Pchem if you'd like. Magnets...how do they work

It's all large scale quantum mechanics.

I think, the effect here is similar to a situation where you take 2 balls of different weights, for example a 🎾 and a 🏀, stack them with the smaller ball on top and drop them. If you drop them both from, say, 1m height, when bouncing off ground, the 🎾 will bounce up much higher than the initial 1m. Because the heavier ball will impart some amount of its kinetic energy to the smaller ball.

"oh, wow, I didn't know that would happen."

"OMG, it did it again!"

"Look at that little fella."

"Go! little guy go!"
