Air is a fluid too. In other words, the air displaced by a helium balloon is heavier than the helium balloon itself, and thus there is a net upward force.
I think I heard 3 different explanations, all of which are demonstrably wrong.

And how was this upward force applied to the balloon again? I think I heard 3 different explanations, all of which are demonstrably wrong.
Why don't you respond to the arguments I posted.
Linky no worky.

force is created by two opposing bowl shaped magnetic fields. It will explain it in the first 20 minutes of this video.
I never asked you anything about gravity you have me mistaken for another member. You still haven't answered any of my questions. It's very obvious you don't intend to so have a good one, this conversation is dumb.
If you have a source that explains in detail how these craters were in fact formed by meteorite impacts I would be happy to read it.

The Archimedes principle is the correct answer, and is demonstrably right. It's what makes boats float and what makes air bubbles rise to the surface. A helium balloon is just a "bubble" in the atmospheric ocean.

What arguments? All that palaver about air pressure?
It's not even wrong. It's meaningless.
You claim you lost your log in details
a balloon & a boat hull.
What about objects dropped in a vacuum that have different densities falling at the same speed how does that work under your claims of no gravity..

but you just said no one has offered any explanations, and then you said only wildespace has made an attempt. Which is it ?

again! you argue how pressure works, then confirm how pressure works in the same statement!
The only way air pressure is pushing something up is because air particles are moving in that direction. The only way force is being transferred is because particles are pushing against particles.
Wind is due to a pressure gradient. Are you going to tell me that air particles pushing against the sail of a ship making it move into the direction of the low pressure, are not moving in said direction?

Anyone?

Ignored the issue yet again.
Are the air particles that push against the sail of a ship moving into the direction they are pushing the ship in, or not?
And yes, to guess where you are going with this, it is also air particles that are locally forcing anything else in atmosphere to move. but that does not mean there is a jet of air under a hot air balloon moving it upwards. Again, that is a result of the motion of air particles around the hot air balloon trying to equalise the local pressure around it, incidentally creating lift for that hot air balloon.
