Stroboscope lighting. A drop is dropped every x seconds. The light actually flashes, it’s not continuous light, its just so fast that you dont see it with your eyes.

So if the light manages to “flash” every time the drops thatbare falling reach the exact same point in the air, it would look like the drops were hovering mid air. Since your eyes and brain mainly see the image where the light flashes “on”.

Now if we were to slow down the lighting flashing speed every time the light flashes on, the drop would have a little more time to travel thus making it seem like the drop would slowly go down.

If we were to speed up the flashing light, the drop would seem to go upwards. But what we’re reall seeing is actually the snapshot of the next drop falling down but being “snapped” slightly higher than the last one. This cycle repeating constantly makes it seem like it’s going up when in fact you’re just seeing a snapshot of the next drop but slightly higher than the previous one.
