cynar@lemmy.worldEnglish1 yearI disagree. The human body is mostly water. Water is slightly diamagnetic. Therefore, a sufficiently strong magnet is capable of levitating a human body off the ground. Magnets can definitely have an effect, just not at puny neodymium magnet levels! 4
mosiacmango@lemm.eeEnglish1 yearI have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based on magnitized internal human water. A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead. 1
