I desperately want to know what you were imagining might happen when you asked this question.

A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.

That’s basically what you get, but the distance from each wall is about an atom thick.

Hey, that atom thick distance allows the water to not stick to the coating.

The bucket would be dry.

Basically, the water would be held inside the bucket in the shape of the bucket without getting the bucket wet, because the hydrophobic coating would prevent the water from touching the bucket, however the water would still touch the hydrophobic coating, it just will not stick to the hydrophobic coating.

I thought that only happened if you put a hydrophobic bucket inside a hydrophobic portable hole.

A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.
