Hello,
after I asked the question does liquid hydrogen flow uphill, my friend Chris Mitchell told me it was really liquid HELIUM that flows uphill.
Is this really true? or is he talking a load of **** again?

Yes.
There are two states for liquid helium. In the second state it has such a low surface tension that it does flow uphill.
If you put water in a glass and look at the very edge of the surface you will see it curve from flat, upward to the glass. The water molecules are being attracted to the glass, but are pulled back by attraction to other water molecules and gravity. With helium, this happens but the attraction to spead out is greater....
