Giants in the air
No one was able to explain how the ancient druids established the multi-ton boulders of the most mysterious monument of Stonehenge. As on the other side of the planet, the inhabitants of the abandoned Easter Island in the ocean dragged and raised giant stone heads. As in the Lebanese Baalbek, a terrace of three stones with a total weight of 800 tons was laid. And like in Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, a platform weighing 440 tons was laid.
The ancient builders did not have lifting equipment like modern harbor cranes. And even if it was! It is still not clear how these blocks were delivered to the construction site from the quarry located behind the mountain and the ravine, despite the fact that there is no road even today?
Dreamers shyly talk about levitation: the ancients, they say, somehow knew how to make granite blocks as light as balloons, which allowed them to deliver and place them wherever they wanted. You can't forbid inventing. But there must be at least some kind of logic, even in the most reckless fantasy.
And then, it seems, she appeared.
The beetle is more successful than the plane
Who in childhood did not sin with sadism, tearing off the wings of a fly and looking at how helplessly buzzing insect rolls on the floor! But Yuri Rassadkin, a candidate of technical sciences, in his sophisticated fanaticism went even further: he did not tear off the wings, but tiny dumbbells located under the tail of the fly, thanks to which it buzzes. It turns out that without this organ, the unfortunate fly falls like a stone from the edge of the table. Then he tries to take off, "lie on the wing", but, having jumped five or six centimeters from the floor, flops back down - there is no flight without buzzing.
Promotional video:
By studying insects, scientists have long understood that airplanes are a pitiful parody of birds. Even a modern supersonic, compared to a bee, is a clumsy pig. The wings of the aircraft are rigidly attached to the fuselage. Yes, they keep the car in the air, but they are unable to take off like a rhinoceros beetle, without a run and from any place, quickly, like a dragonfly, change the direction of flight. And they never can.
And even more so "Boeing" and "Airbus" never dreamed of such mobility as the May beetle. He has not one, but two pairs of wings: the first holds in the air, the second vibrates. It is these vibrations that give the beetle complete freedom of maneuver: even if you brake and immediately fly backwards.
Having studied the buzzers, Rassadkin understood: the secret of the genius flyers is hidden in vibrations. They do not create, like artificial glands, a lifting force due to the oncoming stream, but levitate. That is, the upward force generated by the buzzing minimizes the Earth's gravity.
By the way, levitation can also explain the phenomenon of yogis floating freely above the ground.
What's the secret?
The physicist Rassadkin calls the miracle of levitation the word "effect". Its essence is as follows: there are always aerosols in the air - suspended water droplets ranging in size from 0.1 micron to 2-3 millimeters. Because water molecules are compressed, some, 2-4 microns in size, can explode when exposed to acoustic or electromagnetic vibrations. Let it be weak, but resonant, that is, swinging like a swing, intermolecular bonds. The explosion releases colossal energy: 1 sq. m of area, a force of more than 5 tons (!) If it is directed against gravity, then the object or body is able to take off.
But what and how directs the force of the explosion of water droplets is still unclear. There is only the assumption of the biologist Professor Alexander Dubrov, which is shared by the physicist Rassadkin: this power is controlled by consciousness.
The consciousness of the Egyptians likened a granite block to a soap bubble. And then it could be easily carried over many kilometers and put into a pyramid. It happened more than once: the fall of a person from a great height does not lead to death. For example, consciousness helped a child who fell on the asphalt from the 11th floor to stay alive.
This is a hypothesis, and there is no other explanation for the miracle of levitation yet.
