Post by thread:[EE]:: Levitation by reversal of Casimir force

Subject: Physicists have 'solved' mystery of levitation - Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/06/nlevitate106.xml Presumably based on this paper and similar Quantum levitation by left-handed metamaterials UlfLeonhardt and Thomas G. Philbin School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, North Haugh, St Andrews KY169SS, Scotland July 19, 2007 http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quat-ph/pdf/0608/0608115v5.pdf Right up to date. Original ref: Matthew M ________ Good 'hard science'. Lots of inscrutable formulae and a few graphs and some meaningless pictures. No hard real world data that needs to be overlooked or ignored or explained away or subset in ludicrous manners.. No real need for thinking at a level where one can draw some reasonable conclusions. Entirely harmless and suitable for sheeple processing.

I have this theory that everything we've read or seen in science fiction will come to fruition ;) -marc On 8/6/07, Russell McMahon <spam_OUTapptechTakeThisOuTparadise.net.nz> wrote: {Quote hidden}> > Subject: Physicists have 'solved' mystery of levitation - Telegraph > > > > http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/06/nlevitate106.xml > > Presumably based on this paper and similar > > Quantum levitation by left-handed metamaterials > > UlfLeonhardt and Thomas G.
