    With the theme "Knowledge that Works: From Theory to Practice," the 2011 ASTC Annual Conference featured more than 100 sessions, which highlighted how science centers and museums are putting new ideas to practical use to serve their communities. The conference was hosted by the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, October 15-18.

    The Columbia to which you're referring is a floating city in an alternate 1900's reality, set within the 3rd game in the Bioshock series.
    With this world, a Quantum Physicist, R Lutece, through her understanding of quantum Mechanics, helped build Columbia's foundations in the sky above America.
    On a side note, it was her obsession with alternate universes that led her to capture and "float" the first atom, to which she endeavored to call quantum levitation.

      What would the purpose be? I don't think it would be impossible to levitate a city. You would just need some huge mechanism underneath it that cools the platform where the city is built-on. And that is with the tech now. Scientists are trying to get superconductivity without the cooling process.

    Webpages are best for explaining physics, because you can read it at your own pace, go back and forth and reread things, and the site can have diagrams and equations. TH-cam videos are not good for explaining physics. They are best for showing cool things.

    no that's not the same kind of magnetic levitation. Those aren't using super-conductors like this; just really, really powerful electromagnets. Those actually provide propulsion, this just levitates the superconductor. The movement demonstrated in this (unless I'm much mistaken) is all from gravity and the demonstrator pushing on it. There's just so little friction due to the levitation that it doesn't slow down very quickly.

I expected to see multiple moons for some reason, or to go blind, I was ready to go blind, made peace with never seeing again. I had my frigging camera in hand, I was going to wait for the peak, can't really point your camera directly at the sun. You can only really barely glance at the sun without hurting your eyes so I kind of waited until it was about a 1/4th, I had my hand as a sunshield, but I didn't really need it anymore, it was the light of the yellow sun that causes the eye to squint. All I could think is "How in the f*ck is the sunlight lighting up the moon so bright when it's behind the moon?" It looked exactly like moon, except it was like someone's hand slipped when they were turning up the brightness on the moon and it went to +10,000% brightness, it flared with power, you could literally see waves of black light, it is so bright, but so soothing, nothing like the other sun. I could wrap my head around what I was seeing, what am I seeing?! Then I realize, a black sun... all I could think was "They've been hiding an entire sun from me, what else have they been hiding from me, how stupid am I?" The more you learn, the more you see how little you actually know. It gets really close, like could hit a tall building close. After staring at it for awhile, I looked around to see if anyone was around so I could say "Hey look, a black sun!", they probably would've thought I was crazy, but as I looked around, everything was this weird shade of red, purple, pink, black, it was ultraviolet, I thought "Oh sh*t, I really did f*ck up my eyes!... it's not so bad", but it was bad, it was real bad, I wouldn't be able to drive, all the lights the same color, it would be to hard. So I look back up at the suns and the blue sky is gone, it was like putting on those sunglasses that let you see underwater. You see the stars clear as day, these huge celestial bodies of... they reminded me of the ghosts that come down the stars in the 80's Poltergeist, you see everything, every is connected, kind of like (sorry for using so many movie references) that spinny planet thing in 80's the Dark Crystle, everything in the universe is connected, you can see them. then everything moves together, like a clicking clock, it is all...one big machine. Then it all starts to fade, this foul bright blue mist, shroud, vail hides everything, blue light, sun light, white light. The next total eclipse of the sun is really close, not terribly far away. Eastern USA, I'm not sure, I want to go, I'll record it this time. I want to get a hot air balloon and try to fly into it, that would be bad ass.

      It does not use quantum locking. Quantum locking requires superconductors and thus very low temperatures (about -190C). Maybe one day we can have superconductors and room temperatures, but not today.
      Rather, it uses electrodynamic suspension. The repulsion caused by magnetic fields are the reason for levitation.

Could anyone please give me advice, Is the gas / substance that generates the particles just dry ice or liquid nitrogen, or do I add another chemical. Does the thing that holds the dry ice / liquid nitrogen / substance a certain metal disc, and is any special magnets or atmospheric conditions have to be changed for a working envoroment.

    is it really "locked"? or the deterioration of the force is too small for us to see? also is the frozen part meant to keep the metal as a super conductor or does it have a different purpose ?

    • @Rowlandi11
      @Rowlandi11 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      viperanaf sorta both. I'm not too keen on this subject, but the force will be there as long as the magnetic field is there. Or until the liquid nitrogen runs out. Magnetic fields will wither eventually but after some time so it's pretty much locked. And I believe the cooling with the liquid nitrogen is what causes the "locking" as it changes and warps the magnetic field, causing the superconductor to be locked in certain positions in space. As long as its that cold, the magnetic field will stay warped and the superconductor can physically moved around those "locked" positions, just as the man in the video does it.

      Superconductor levitation works because: when a SC moves through the magnetic track it induces surface currents in SC and those currents create magnetic field, opposite to this created by magnetic track. SO it all depends on the direction of movement. They would move in same direction they would come together, but if you would make go them in opposite directions they would be repelled before collision (I think that after the collision they might start to move in the same direction but much slower due to the loss of magnetic energy, but that of Im not sure). Thank you for your question.

    • @eclecticgamer5144

  • @SharpSharries
    @SharpSharries 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Quantum levitation is kind of a broad and silly term... basically it just means using enough force to overcome gravity.. or just simply, levitation. The actual phenomenon demonstrated here is called Flux Pinning. It is a variant of the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect, typically referred to as the Meissner effect. Traditionally, the Meissner effect is attributed to the expulsion of all magnetic fields in a Type-1 superconductor when cooled below its critical temperature. It will levitate when placed above a magnet, but will not be "pinned" in place because the magnetic flux lines just simply go around it and can't penetrate it. Substituting a Type-2 superconductor cooled below its critical temperature for the Type-1 is where we get "flux pinning". This happens because the lines of magnetic flux (tubes) can penetrate the imperfections in the Type-2 (or "high temperature") superconductor's crystalline structure, thus holding it in place as demonstrated in this video. For now, this is basically a novelty.. though it has great potential for practical use. The impracticality is due to the fact that the superconductors have to maintain their critical temperatures and the fact that they are not yet "cheap" to manufacture. This could hypothetically be overcome by a "room temperature superconductor", but we are not quite there yet. We are currently too busy creating VajAnkles and such to be bothered by science. Also, your mother is a whore. (Quantum Levity)... get it? Oh well.
