Title: Quantum Levitation
Post by: ironbut on November 02, 2011, 01:40:43 PM

Check this YouTube video out. (careful cause the audio starts out really loud!)
Sometimes, I just can't help thinking that these times we live in are just to freakin cool!

yes , it is phenomenal, here in the U.S. , guys at Cornell are working, in conjunction with NASA, are doing the same thing with these NanoMagnets for space station and propulsion purposes... the goal is to build a massive spaceship/station that is built with modules that can come together to form a spaceship capable of travelling further than before, and then once stopped, the modules will move and configure themselves into a space station structure.. Alot of this is based on the NanoMagnet hypercooling research...... In my mind , I am just picturing The Starship Winnebago with super high tech "Slideouts".......  but hey, that's just me....  Imagine James T. Kirk piloting THAT ship... "Bones, fetch me another beer".... "DAMMIT Jim!!!, I'm a DOCTOR!!!"  Scotty, are the catfish done yet? "I'm trying captain , but the fryer just hasnt got the POWER!".......  alright enough.. :)

you are so right, and just imagine the things that we DO NOT know that are out there to discover. Boggles the mind really.. I just think that life , given the right mindset (somewhat open), is just really exciting and mind-blowing...
