Re: Magnets have always seemed magical to me.

Have you ever seen lab videos of a piece of ultra-chilled metal floating or spinning above a magnet?

Now THAT is magic.

You Tube has lots of videos under search term “super conducting magnets.”

One professor actually built a Mobius Strip roller coaster from magnets with a super chilled little car that zooms above (and below!) the track.

Magnetically Levitating Mice
NASA has built a device that keeps mice floating to study the health effects of spaceflight.

...a magnetic field of 17 teslas

...The researchers have shown previously that the device can levitate water-based items for hours, but were skeptical that it would be able to make a mouse, weighing10-grams, float for long periods of time. Yet, they were able to “fly” the mouse for hours, allowing it to roam freely, and giving it food and water.
