well, here's a video showing it
https://youtu.be/8nLd5q7UOyE
I don't think that's real
perpetual motion does not exist
note the *almost*
please don't troll here
I'm being quite serious - action at a distance was something Newton came up with to prop up with theory of gravity
It simply cannot be observed
so, you're choosing to not believe the video evidence?
prove me to me how we can have an atmosphere if there is space surrounding us
it defies common sense
air moves from high pressure to low pressure
we do not see that
now you're strawmanning.
No, that's literally what round earthers teach
that the earth maintains its atmosphere under high pressure
even though empty space surrounds it
So, we've moved from the topic I jumped in at of magnets working in vacuum to the plausibility of the earth's atmosphere.
well the vid obviosuly shows vertical levitation to a lower atmospheric pressure
so the top spins at a slightly lower pressure
then the air is removed, so conservation of angular momentum would keep it there
and energy cannot be created or destroyed
It's not magnetism then
Something like this might explain how the Sun and Moon orbit the earth at constant altitude
*above
the earth
but did you say that the magnetic force vanishes at a lower atmospheric pressure?
maybe I misunderstood
what's keeping the magnet levitating if it's not magnetism anymore?
angular momentum conservation
the top is spinning
if it stopped spinning and dropped momentum conservation would be violated
The top spinning and it levitating are two different things. Its angular momentum of spin has nothing to do with how it levitates.
howdy
hello!
how are ya
good how you doing?
swell
