I searched through the metabunk site to see if these particular points have been addressed, but didn’t find anything, as this is not merely a "those are bubbles" claim. I need help debunking this:
A youtuber (named p-brane) is claiming that objects cannot zigzag in a weightless vacuum (outer space) and “any object in motion that is not tethered has to go in a straight line”.

1. The video shows “bubbles”/debris zigzag as they move through space as if being influenced by water currents in a pool.
2. Next, the video shows stationary objects in outer space being displaced by nearby objects moving towards (but not touching) them. The claim is that this can only occur underwater and not outer space.
I can see that the “bubbles”, when the video zooms in and slowed down, looks more like flat jaggy flakes of something… definitely not bubbles, but I’m not sure about the claims p-brane is making about movement and displacement. Can anyone help?
I have the video timestamped queued in 3 places to take you to the relevant demonstrations and claims being made:
1. [zig zagging "bubbles" footage]
2:23-2:58
1a.

1b.2:58-
