Scientists have mixed opinions about the nature of levitation. Thus, a specialist in the field of quantum mechanics, Harvard University professor John Hagilin, believes that all these are tricks that are shown by all sorts of crooks and hoaxers. And his opponent, also a Harvard professor Eric Bergoltz, is convinced that the modern human race is the descendants of aliens, and it is from them that people inherited the ability to overcome the fetters of gravity
Scientists from Scotland recently announced that they have discovered the secret of levitation and can make relatively small objects float in the air.
Prof. Ulf Leonhardt and Dr. Thomas Philbin used the Casimir effect. We are talking about the possibility of attraction of two uncharged bodies.
However, while scientists have been able to "hang" in the air without support only microscopic plates made of materials with a negative refractive index.
And Chinese experts from the Northwestern Polytechnic Institute conducted their levitation experiment a few months earlier. As if by magic, frog tadpoles, fish fry and spiders soared into the air. To make the test object soar, it was placed between the ultrasonic emitter and the reflector. A sound pressure field was created, which did not allow the object to fall. How the experimental animals felt at the same time, the Chinese scientists did not report.
Legends and historical evidence of how our distant ancestors knew how to soar in the air like birds are innumerable. Thus, ancient Indian manuscripts claim that levitation was used by … thieves who plundered the treasures of the rajas. But perhaps the most famous “flying man” was Joseph Deza (1603–1663), nicknamed Cupertinsky after his native village in southern Italy.
From childhood he was distinguished by extraordinary piety and tortured himself in every possible way in order to experience a state of religious ecstasy. Once Joseph came to Rome, where he was given an audience with Pope Urban VIII. For the first time, seeing his Holiness, Deza was so delighted that he took off and soared until the head of the Franciscan order who was present brought Joseph to his senses. More than a hundred cases of Joseph's levitation were observed by the then scientists, who left their testimonies on this score.
And Nizhny Novgorod journalists recently found documents in local archives that at the end of the 19th century, a native of the village of Yurino, Nizhny Novgorod province, Pyotr Kochetov, had the ability to levitate. He served in Bobruisk - he guarded an artillery warehouse. It was here that his colleagues began to notice very strange things behind him. At night, Kochetov went out into the yard in one shirt, and walked in the snow barefoot. Very often he jumped over several beds in one fell swoop, jumped on the sleeping people, without disturbing them. Those who did not sleep did not feel any weight on themselves.
Knowing that the inquisitors of the Middle Ages measured the weight of suspects in witchcraft, Kochetov was put on the scales twice: before and after an attack of sleepwalking. In the first case, the soldier pulled 5 and a half pounds, and in the second - only 3 pounds. How much he weighed during his flights in sleep and in reality, it was not possible to find out.
Wake up your gene memory
Scientists have mixed opinions about the nature of levitation. Thus, a specialist in the field of quantum honey, professor at Harvard University, John Hagilin, believes that all these are tricks shown by all sorts of crooks and hoaxers. And his opponent, also a Harvard professor Eric Bergoltz, is convinced that the modern human race is the descendants of aliens, and it is from them that people inherited the ability to overcome the fetters of gravity. According to the scientist, all people can fly: you just need to awaken the genetic memory in yourself, and then levitation will be as commonplace as a morning run.
Other researchers attribute levitation to the ability of some people to somehow reduce their own body weight to microscopic values. Still others - the presence in the human body of some "lifting forces" that begin to act in a certain psychophysical state, reminiscent of a trance. However, no one has yet managed to substantiate, let alone prove their point of view.
Nevertheless, a number of researchers believe that levitation is the result of the appearance of a biogravitational field, which is created by a special psychic energy emitted by the human brain. This hypothesis is supported by a well-known biologist, a leading researcher at the Federal Center for Traditional Diagnostic and Treatment Methods of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Alexander Dubrov. According to Aleksandr Petrovich, such a biogravitational field is born due to the conscious efforts of the "levitant", which is somehow able to control it, and therefore change the direction of flight.
“During a hypnosis session in our scientific center, the person being tested was suggested that he was on a spaceship that was going into orbit,” says the professor. - When the devices showed the complete disappearance of weight in this person, the scientists simply did not believe their eyes. But this is a fact that modern science cannot yet explain. My colleagues and I call it a parapsychological phenomenon that is in some kind of contradiction with the natural science theories prevailing today.
Until recently, levitation was completely rejected by science, although scientists have long known that unusual mental states are often associated with a change in a person's weight. For example, a professor at the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy Kovalevsky at the beginning of the last century weighed patients during and after epileptic seizures. It turned out that in the case of a deep form of the disease and with a prolonged seizure, the loss reaches a quarter of the weight. Moreover, such a sharp weight loss does not affect the patient's appearance in any way. After some time after the attack, the weight is restored. Dramatic weight loss also occurs with other mental illnesses, such as hysteria.
“Perhaps the researchers, faced with a number of indisputable facts, finally admit that levitation is a real fact,” Dubrov sums up. “However, even in this case, there are many questions to which there are no answers yet.
For example, what areas of the brain and in what mode are involved in levitation? Is the special psychic energy that causes it electromagnetic in nature, or is it some other? Can everyone master the technique of levitation, or is it a gift sent down to a few? And finally, will we ever be able to get answers to all these questions, or will the ability to soar in the air remain a mystery for us, gone into the gray depths of centuries?
By the way
some researchers attribute levitation to the ability of individuals to somehow reduce their own body weight. True, how they succeed in this - scientists cannot explain.
