wonder if it could someday tap into the earths magnetic field or the Sun's. Maybe even a gyroscope replacement. Think of millions of these on a nano scale spinning on a disc at astronomical speeds then spin the disc then put several discs together...

Incredible science.

As a note : Beware replying to air head comment trolls. The subject is Quantum Levitation, not religion. Trolls always change the subject. Don't give them the satisfaction of replies.

This is what is known in the trade as a "parlor trick"

It is quite easy to duplicate - just get 2 rare earth permanent magnets and put one on top of the other in a fixture and they will repel each other. Hovering magnets!

Unfortunately it has little practical value, unless your planning on gluing magnets to all the road surfaces in the country.

Don't be silly! Science is much more amazing than any of your gods!

LOL! There is a story that goes something like this. A scientist said we now know all that God knows. So God reaches down and picks up a hand full of dirt. The scientist says that soil. It's comprised of, and then God interrupts and says make your own.

Ezekiel's spaceship, Ezekiel chapters 1, 2, 10: a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it... quantum levitation.
