Man, a break through this big that will help the field of nanotech is awesome, but they need to get back to me when they finally get around to making the hoverboards we all want.
Levitation has been elevated from being pure science fiction to science fact, according to a study reported today by physicists.
In theory the discovery could be used to levitate a person
In earlier work the same team of theoretical physicists showed that invisibility cloaks are feasible.
Now, in another report that sounds like it comes out of the pages of a Harry Potter book, the University of St Andrews team has created an 'incredible levitation effects’ by engineering the force of nature which normally causes objects to stick together.
Professor Ulf Leonhardt and Dr Thomas Philbin, from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, have worked out a way of reversing this pheneomenon, known as the Casimir force, so that it repels instead of attracts.

If this is a lie, I'm going to track you down BC and slit your throat with my dick.
so while it would be the most awesome thing (so awesome) I won't get my hopes up for it any time soon

Hey man I'm just the messenger.
These are the same dudes that believe they have proven invisibility cloaks to be a feasible thing.
It's like they're taking our child hood dreams and making them reality.
the science is probably entirely valid but the press is making this sound like oh my god they've discovered levitation
guess what they haven't, been around for a while
use your fucking brains
though i'd never use it myself
yeah pretty much this

Druhim, do not ruin our fantasies.
For what else will we have?

And when I'm tired of that one, I'm gonna starting thinking about doing it in the air.
Forget that mess.
worked fine in Hitchhikers Guide
Really, it worked fine in a work of fiction.
I wouldn't have guessed.

LOOK HERE, SON YOU ARE ALREADY ON THIN ICE AFTER THE PHALLOS DEBACLE
UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DICK IN THE EAR I SUGGEST YOU TOE THE LINE
YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!!
I think these guys are just sensationalist milkers
so you could still see that something was there because the light passing "through" it was distorted pretty noticably
I suppose they also got cold fusion to work, like the last dozen people who said they did. :rotate:
Why isn't there an eye-roll emoticon for this board any more?

any greater understanding of a natural principle can lead to technological advances, however slight they may start as
it's certainly nothing to be actively pessimistic about
but i like to believe everyone here is intelligent enough to understand that
perhaps an unrealistic hope
but like filler was saying, nothing wrong with a little woo woo science flying cars woo
There was an article talking about how flying carpets are totally plausible.
