When a magnet is laying on the ground and I position another magnet above it, with the polarity correctly aligned, I can lift that magnet up!
I can lift tons of iron scrap up given a strong magnet and a crane. I can make a huge train, "levitate" off of the ground given electromagnets and electric currents.
Gravity is weak.
I’d be tickled with an old fashioned tug.
Sounds like another piece of evidence for the much-derided “electric universe” hypothesis.
I have another question. Has anyone ever estimated the amount of sheer instantaneous information incorporated in any amount of single particle matter and compared it to Einsteins E=MC2 equation? What happens if they are one and the same? Could it be that information is equal to energy? Do we even have any meaningful mathematical way of quantifying information? Just asking. Way beyond my scope in any case.
Closest I can think of that’s related to the this question is the Landauer principle

Erasure of information has associated with it a minimum amount of waste heat.
If you calculated the relativistic mass for the amount of energy dissipated, you might get your answer. But I might be just blowing a bunch of hot air.
I know its been a while since I read your response and I have been thinking about it from time to time. One of the things that sticks out in my mind is the term “Relativistic”. I was just watching a video today about micro black holes and their possible explanation if they even exist. Could this be an explanation for dark matter? The thing that I found fascinating was why if black holes lose energy “Hawking radiation” at all and eventually evaporate down, would this explain dark matter if they eventually reached a stable point? The explanation seemed to be that they simply get too small to quantumely vibrate internally anymore. Apparently they were all created after the first few micro nanoseconds which didn't actually exist after the "Big Bang". That whole relativity thing again. The guy that was giving the presentation asked the obvious question. What then happens to all that left over information? Interesting thought huh?
