Levitation, Here We Come

Until recently, levitation was a concept saved for the imagination. Only characters with special powers (i.e. Magneto) or characters with special suits (i.e. Ironman) could levitate, and that is due to their special power and/or special suit. Good magicians can also levitate, but it has yet to be proven if this is a mere illusion or actual sorcerery. I levitated once, but that was in a dream.



(I don't know how this guy does it. Simply incredible.)




Well, science has once again brought our dreams to reality. Scienctists have found a way to levitate the smallest of objects using the still much mysterious quantum mechanics. Scientists even said that they might use this new found form of levitation to help make tiny nanotechnology machines (the world of microscopic sciences has never seen so many tremendous advances in miniature technologies.)



If only we were ants. We could be having the time of our lives floating all around. That, or if we developed a shrinking ray. Being able to levitate would be well worth being the size of tiny particles. Plus, we'll have all these new fangled nanotechnology machines to play with. It would be a blast. We just need to talk to the makers of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and see how they pulled it off.
