Diamagnetic levitation: This is very interesting. Check out the videos on the site to see frogs, grasshoppers, and water droplets levitate without the need for an external power source. "Today's science knows only one way to achieve REAL levitation, i.e. such that no energy input is required and the levitation can last forever. The real levitation makes use of diamagnetism , an intrinsic property of many materials referring to their ability to expel a portion, even if a minute one, of an external magnetic field. Electrons in such materials rearrange their orbits slightly so that they expel the external field. As a result, diamagnetic materials repel and are repelled by strong magnetic fields." www.hfml.ru.nl/levitate.html

This is some of the coolest science. I have seen less than a foot away from me a little metallic cube float seemingly all by itself in my physics class last year. It is very odd to see. Of course of discussion of superconductors was very short. But this diamagnetism is incredibly interesting...

After reading that, I found myself torn. I want to laugh so hard, but yet again I'm kind of angry that they would like something like that continue after just one death. Seriously, what is wrong with the world?
