The water is not frozen, it is not in zero gravity (space) and it is not spun fast enough to keep the water in the bucket. How is this possible?

The bucket is under water.

The bucket must have something which has very strong adhesive force. Adhesive force is the force of attraction between two different substances and for this reason if you apply glue to any paper and put another paper over it, it will stick because glue has adhesive force. As water and the bucket have a strong adhesive force, they will stick to each other and will not spill. Maybe the bucket is made up of ice (which is not possible) or any other adhesive material.

The second reason is that the water has high iron content in it and the bucket in which it is kept is magnetic. Therefore magnet will attract iron towards it.

And one more thing, there is a word which rhymes with orange and that is range. A word which has no rhyme is "silver".

Ok aim not sure whether aim going to answer your question similary aim just try to examine the bucket and if you still want the water to spill why don't you just find sharp put hole in the bucket. With that the water will come out eventually.

The water would not spill out by way of inertia rigidity. desire right here link will clarify further. that's what Isaac Newton defined:- ... the exterior of the water will in the beginning up be flat, as till now the bucket began to pass; yet after that, the bucket by utilising steadily speaking its action to the water, will make it start to revolve, and recede little by utilising little from the centre, and ascend up the climate of the bucket, forming itself right into a concave determine (as I easily have experienced), and the speedier the action will become, the better will the water upward push, till finally, appearing its revolutions in the comparable time with the vessel, it is going to become fairly at relax in it.

The water is in a gaseous state, so it goes to the bottom of the bucket, which is now the top.

You are either in free fall or you have a lid on the bucket.

This is done with the bucket submersed in water !!

You either have a lid on it or there is some sort of air pressure holding it in.

You have a tight fitting lid on the bucket.

I think it is actual water vapor-- or steam. turning it over would actually help it stay in place
