Let's just suppose for a second that levitation does occur. What prevents any individual from flying off the face of the planet ?
To rephrase the question: Why does levitation stop short of just mere inches to maybe a couple of feet ? Pondering the implication of these two questions should lead one to consider the default position of skepticism that levitation is probably unlikely.

That is a good question. Perhaps you would like to start a fresh thread so as not to have this lost under this heading?

I read what he wrote and it is logical that IF levitation was possible, asking " Why does levitation stop short of just mere inches to maybe a couple of feet ?" is another point to ponder. Especially since being able to levitate someone even 1/4 of an inch affects the law of gravity.

IF???!!

how about because there´s no such a thing as levitation?
but there´s many ways of faking it,
that´s why is only a few inches above the ground?

also.. i dont know how you can use LOGICAL and LEVITATION in the same sentence...

touche!

nice one NP

this has nothing to do with technology
thats a bad analogy
this has to do with denying a fundamental of nature's interaction< GRAVITY
believers dont go to grammar school?

this has to do more with searching for the philosopher's stone, the elixir of life and turning anything into gold
thats the actual analogy, not technology, but searching for something that doesnt exist


scescop by the way posts info about a shapeshifting lizards and bigfoot,
so i wouldnt quote him unless is for having fun

My thread seems to have gone sideways from its original intent. I just want to know if people like this idea or not. I want to award it to people like Nickell for levitation, Plait for his idiotic spiel about how amateur astronomers overwhelming look at the sky more than anyone and yet they don't report sightings. Basically, it would be for the weakest, most ludicrous attempt at debunking.

Any thoughts?
