Levitation holmes.....word....
In yet another "how the f#ck did I get into a Philip K. Dick novel" moment, some "gurus" at St. Andrews University in Scotland claim they have created "incredible levitation effect by engineering the force of nature which normally causes objects to stick together." I'm assuming they mean magnets, but I guess it sounds more esoteric this way.
In any case, the "gurus" claim that this "discovery" could lead to "frictionless micro-machines with moving parts that levitate," and in theory, devices could be created to transport humans. I'm assuming that means hoverboards, which would be cool if it wasn't coupled with unchecked government wire-tapping, smart chips, and adderall/prozac/et. all.
However, this is the same team that said invisibility cloaks were feasible, so maybe everything is ok......we think.....
