I would like to hear ideas on anybody's take on bioelectric magnetism. The reason for this is my personal interest in ways of achieving artificial gravity without the use of constant acceleration, centrifugal force, or an almost impossibly dense object as the source of a gravity field. My true question is: is it possible to charge or ionize a human body on a cellular or smaller level that will allow it to attract to a medium electromagnetic field built into a deck or walkway to simulate gravity to an extent?

If you apply a strong enough magnetic field, you can make frogs levitate. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/1997/04/floating-frogs I'd imagine that this could be reversed.

 

But you do know that technically what you're asking is impossible, right?

You're asking to replace gravity -- a constant acceleration -- without using a constant acceleration? Seems like you may need a little revision on just what gravity is. While doing that, might need to revise on how without any outside references, it is impossible to know what the source of an acceleration is, gravity or otherwise.

I know this sounds extremely "quacked". And I am familiar with the diamagnetic properties present in the Levitating Frog video. I was more going for trying to figure out the possibility of circumventing or altering the diamagnetic properties of the human body to enough of an extent that it would be drawn towards an electromagnet, for instance wearing an article of clothing or jewelry with a power source for regulating the body's charge. I am sorry if I am asking for answers to things that are as of yet outside the realm of possibility. I am just trying to look at this from any possible angle and listening to third party opinions from those that most likely know far more than I. I am just highly interested in theoretical sciences, with large interest in astro/quantum physics. And I apologize for using the term "gravity" so loosely, what I mean to say is an attracting force between two objects.

Diamagnetism is always repulsive and quite weak, so that's a nonstarter.

 

You want to be attracted to an electromagnet? Wear magnetic materials. e.g. put an iron plate in your boots.

pwm_mal:

Gravity prevents you from floating, gravity demands of you a job to move.

The lenz effect too.

 

Lenz's law won't help you here, I think. Even if it gives rise to an attractive force, it's a transient effect. Your field would have to continue changing to maintain the force. Which means it either goes to zero, or it becomes infinite. Neither one is a solution.
