Quantum Levitation: I don't understand it but I like it!
This YouTube video shows something called "quantum locking" of a superconductor in a magnetic field, causing it to levitate in a most outstanding fashion. My brain is too tired now to even try to understand the physics behind this (and I am not sure I would understand even if it wasn't) but the video is well worth a watch anyway!
