I wonder if they can somehow modify this to create artificial gravity. Anybody here who knows something about this subject?


Flip the levitating device upside down and put it above the mouse? That would be my guess :)


Diamagnetism only repels, it doesn't attract. All materials are diamagnetic.

Ferromagnetism does both, attracts and repels, but only certain materials are ferromagnetic.

It's not gravity BTW, it's magnetism.


Thanks. I'm going to read up on that :-)
