Floating Frog

Mr Andre Geim, 2010 Nobel laureate in physics (along with mr Konstantin Novoselov), was invited by Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg to give a lecture in the crowded lecture hall RunAn in the student union building at Chalmers, on December 13 2010.

If the heart was free from the impurities of sin, and therefore lighter than the feather, then the dead person could enter the eternal afterlife.

Regarding Justice( as a scale of truth), as seen, and the relation to how Plato saw Truth? The heart,  is not a physical thing. So what did they mean? The concepts themselves are alien, and that by such thought processes enacted the abilities with which to affect the weight of things? Are their/there things, "lighter then, the feather?"  So we find crude imitations, as that created by science? To them back then in the culture, what was known?

By accident, and in early youth,  we would like to experiment. This is to say,  that the presence of a group(isolated), could affect the weight of such a thing? So there is this critical side, and exploratory side,  as to the way in which beliefs formed to become the foundation of what a group could do, when they gathered to accomplish.

Remove the group then, and it is still inside the mind, and without that group, it continues. So, it rests finally in the mind. I am not saying it could work for all, and it is not some bouncing meditationalist, but of something quite other then, what we understand today.

What I am saying is that there is a profound way in which we do not see consciousness ability, and how that consciousness can be used.

On the other hand, the enclosed photographs of water and a frog hovering inside a magnet(not on board a spacecraft) are somewhat counterintuitive and will probably take many people (even physicists) by surprise. This is the first observation of magnetic levitation of living organisms as well as the first images of diamagnetics levitated in a normal, room-temperature environment (if we disregard the tale about Flying Coffin of Mohammed as such evidence, of course). In fact, it is possible to levitate magnetically every material and every living creature on the earth due to the always present molecular magnetism. The molecular magnetism is very weak (millions times weaker than ferromagnetism) and usually remains unnoticed in everyday life, thereby producing the wrong impression that materials around us are mainly nonmagnetic. But they are all magnetic. It is just that magnetic fields required to levitate all these "nonmagnetic" materials have to be approximately 100 times larger than for the case of, say, superconductors.[/I]Diamagnetic Levitation

So while there is some understanding here, there are remaining questions.
