MycroftHomlzsays...Man... I love it around 5:00... Bravo!
Jinxsays...Just have the magnet under the track moving along with the superconductor-racecar locked in place above it. EZ.
lv_huntersays...I thought it said mass effect for a second.
westysays...No more or less Quantum than anything else
MycroftHomlzsays...How do you mean? The Miessner effect is purely quantum mechanical, in that, there is no classical mechanics analog for this behavior. And you need wave functions to explain the physics at all. If you want to understand it you can read Yip and Sauls paper...

gwiz665says...*talks *future is now!
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Future, Talks) - requested by gwiz665.

My point was that ultimately everything is quantum.
This only seems more Quantum on the face of it because its a counter intuitive behivoir at a human scale.
I think there could probably be a better way to describe it such as "magnetic Super conductor Wipe out" , "Magnetic levitation wipe out " , " super conductor levitation track" in this case the word quantum just seems to be used as gimmic / buzz word.
Still if it gets people to read into science and makes them exited about it cnt really complane
