realboring.com — All objects have electrons that repulse when there meet other electrons, so when there is no resistance there electrons are easily flowing from on medium to another, however in the middle (air) the electrons meet each other and cause repulsion, which in turn pushes the magnet up.

I friggin did this experiment in high school. But it's still cool today.

Not exactly the best explanation of the meisner effect.A more interesting concept is diamagnetic levitation. Water is slightly diamagnetic, so in the presence of a strong enough magnetic field, water reacts.Levitating frogs anyone?<a class="user" href="http://www.hfml.science.ru.nl/froglev.html">http://www.hfml.science.ru.nl/froglev.html</a>

I did the same experiment in physic class.

Pretty cool stuff, I like this.

If it got close to absolute zero why doesnt the guy wear gloves to touch it?

Cooooooooool. Where the antigrav sled???

OMFG amazing. But why does it float at a wierd angle? And why doesn't it "fall off" like magnets repelling usually do? The end is really cool too. Does that black thing crack as it warms up?
