How can you float if gravity is pushing you down?
You (or anything) can only float if the force of gravity pulling down is exactly balanced by some other force pushing up. In a fluid there's a force called buoyancy pushing up on anything in the fluid, the strength of which is equal to the weight of fluid 'displaced' (the fluid that would be in that space if the thing weren't there). The cool thing is that buoyancy is actually generated BY gravity acting on all the other fluid and is always in the opposite direction to gravity (up).
