Mice freak the hell out, then settle back into their normal routines after a couple of hours while still levitating.

Well, there's always the video of the frog:



EDIT: Arg. What's the format for youtube videos now?

EDIT EDIT: Got it now.

You don't need to use the youtube tag anymore, just the URL one.

Aha. Much less typing - thanks.

The worste part is that this frog thing happend back in the late 90s. I remember doing a research project on it, and it was amazing that it was happening, but nothing real happened for years that I tried to follow up on it.

That long, huh? Damn - small animal levitating technology is advancing really slowly compared to other major technologies. If this was computing, we'd be able to levitate a blue whale in another 3-4 years, 5 tops.

Hmmmm....

I wonder what that feels like.

Would you still feel the effects of gravity? Parts of your body that don't have much/any water molecules in them, like your hair, would still be pulled down, but what about the rest of you?

I look forward to the Omzi exhibit that will, ultimately, be the only worthwhile usage of this technology in 10-20 years.

Holy flip. Science is cool.
