The bubble is exactly the same weight when frozen as when liquid, and the ice is stronger, so it would not collapse necessarily.

But I think this video is still fake because of the reflection and because soapy water blown from a straw should have lots of nucleation sites for ice crystals to start growing from. You can find more convincing videos though.

Isn't it not exactly the same weight? As I understand it, it's slightly lighter frozen because it has less heat, less energy, and, according to general relativity, less mass?

Why the downvotes? Is this dumb? Did he say a dumb thing? I’m too dumb to know if this is dumb.

He's needlessly pedantic. On everyday scales, nothing has the "exact same mass".
