Superconductor

A large black superconducting disk was cooled with liquid nitrogen. When the disk goes into the superconducting state it expels magnetic field. This is called perfect diamagnetism. If you place a magnet above the disk when it is superconducting then it will levitate. This is known as the Meissner effect.

This is so fake it must be real.

The reason you can't reach the speed of light is increasing mass. The closer you get the lagrer your mass, so the more energy you need to speed up. To actually reach the speed of light you would need an infinate amount of energy (clearly impossible, at least as we understend it) there's also an issud with time slowing to a stop.

@TheAmazingBullpuppy Its actually more fact then fiction :), in other words its a Superconductor and its true

[LizaniaLive]

@TheAmazingBullpuppy this is not fake.. this is the meissner effect

[aprilc2008]

look up the meissner effect

Hey gravity....

u mad?

Because the superconductor got warmed up by the ambient environment until it was too warm to be a superconductor. With very few exceptions superconductor's have to be very cold i.e. approaching absolute zero, to be superconductors

Problem, gravity?

Such strong magnetic fields are used for example in magnetic resonance, for research with strong magnetic fields and particle accelerators as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
