JacobNewton Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I examined the apparatus closely. It was a blend between a capacitor and a magnet that ran on electricity. "What's the purpose of this capacitor?" I said. This capacitor has the power to levitate," said Swansont quietly. "you mean, like a levitating shaoulin monk?" I said, curiously. "Yes, that's right," said Swansont boredly. "How does it work?" I said. Swansont began to explain. "The capacitor is powered by the force of gravity," he said. When the force of gravity is powered by the electromagnetic field, it causes a disutrbance in the gravity continuum, the field of gravity that encompasses time and space," said Swansont. "What happens then?" I said. "The field of gravity thus disturbed, causes the capacitor to levitate," he said. "But what's the purpose of the capacitor?" I said. "To cause an energgy storage, a convertor of gravitational to electromagnetic energy!" said Swansont. I understood immediately. "So basically, this magic capacitor-" "Magic isn't a scientific word," said Swansont sharply. "Oh well, this...super capacitor of sorts, basically converts electromagnetic energy to gravitational energy, after harnessing gravitational energy from the earth's core-" "Harnessing, not quite the word I'd use myself," said Swansont. The trick is to bypass the gravitational field of the earth altogether." "Like how rockets leave the earth's surface?" I said. "yes, but at sea level," said swansont. "How in the world-" "Basically, after the gravity barrier is surpassed, the capacitor in question immediately converts the surplus gravity absorbed during takeoff into electromagnetic radiation" explained swansont. I was amazed at the idea. "What purpose can this invention avail humanity?" I said. "Levitation," replied Swansont. Disclaimer: All characters and other entities appearing here are fictitious.

Bufofrog Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 A silly SciFi story is not classical physics. Not a good start...

What if a capacitor could be built, roughly along those lines outlined in the story, that could empower the human race to levitate like shaoulin monks?

Er...am I legally in the wrong if I didn't add them, just curious, after all its a blog post after all But in any case, added them all the same. Hope you enjoyed the story!

That’s not how capacitors or gravity works

I am quite confident the ability to levitate is well within their repertoire. right..

Just an example, or Sai Baba, or Moses, if you prefer it. All these fellows could levitate because they were "on the Force" or 'possessed by the holy spirit" or "demon possessed".. And that brings us to the definition of "demon possessed"....parallel dimesnions might have the solution. If there are parallel dimensions overlapping these dimensions, then surely there must be a manifestation of that occurence on the physical plain, like people developing special powers...on that note didn't einstein say each successive dimension controls the next one? in which case, the previous dimension overlapping this one at intervals, would manifest in out of the ordinary abilities in the denizens it possesses. -2

Intoscience Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 That's it then, if its been seen on America's Got Talent, it must be real!🙄 Are you really serious or just playing some kind of game? I'm curious. Do you know any Shaolin monks? I could do with my top floor windows cleaning.
