how does criss angel leviate?

There are two ways that Criss Angel could levitate. \n1. He uses a winch, and everything that looks spontaneous is actually staged. \n2. He is practicing a very advanced form of yoga.

You'd have to have a magnet below the ground wouldnt you? I mean if you are saying the possible, then streets could have magnets below.That is-to hover. \nTo not hover the magnets would have to be there but opposing polarity and your other magnets would have to be enough to overcome the strength of THAT polarity.(And since I know little about ALL of what you're saying, wouldnt you have to have a capacitator in there somewhere to store the electricity that the auto generated?)\n\nBut I believe this is how David Copperfield "flies". He has some kind of magnet on him-large enough or something magnetized long enough-and an electromagnet in/on the ceiling of the auditorium. Then the electromagnet is turned on and voltage is controlled to raise and lower him but it moves and he follows.\nThe same with that street magician (Blaine?)-we dont see it, but is he stepping on a manhole cover with a magnet placed under?Do his shoes have magnets in the soles so that when he steps on the cover the two magnets repel so that it appears he is levitating? And he also spreads his arms apart or brings them closer-closing and opening a circuit, raising and lowing self?\n\nSo I believe if you can work the bugs out, streets can be paved with magnets powerful enough below ground but with enough insulation to not attract the small stuff.\n\nI just like your question. I know nothing about such things.

1.  The easiest answer is to attach the iron to wood so that their total density is less than that of water.\n\n2.  A more complicated answer is to expand the iron into a shape that has less density than water, for example, beat it out into a sheet and then use the sheet to make a water-tight sphere or  cube.\n\n3.  An even more complex situation is to beat it out into a sheet and then use the sheet to form an open bowl.  In this situation, it will float based on Archimedes' Principle. It will also sink if filled with water.\n\nWhy is this question in "Religion and Spirituality"?  Are you thinking of the axe that Elisha caused to float? (2 Kings 6:5,6.) In that case the above answers do not apply.

When you move your hand up, your flesh rises and the air that existed above it has been displaced.  There is a void -some free space where you hand was and the displaced particles rush to fill it.  \n\nIt says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - it does not say that the object being moved had both reactions.

Good question. I did an entire study to show what the Levitical law was all about and why it should have no control or hold on the church believer.

Lift under a liquid (or BOUYANCY FORCE) is defined as the weight of the volume of liquid displaced.  In other words, say a ball displaces 1 cubic meter of water.  The ball will be pushed back up with the same amount of force as the weight of that 1 cubic meter of water.\n\nSince water's density is 999 kg/cubic meter, we're looking at 999 kg of water (water is really heavy!).\n\nNow if we want the force of that water, we'd simply multiply it by the gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s/s:\n\n999 * 9.8m/s/s = 9790 Newtons (1 Newton = 1 (kg * m)/(s^2))\n\nSo the ball would be pushed back up with a force of 9790 Newtons.\n\nNow, the hard shell ball will (theoretically) not deform when subjected to the pressure of 10 feet of water.  So the *bouyance force* placed on the hard shell ball is easy to calculate, given the formula above.\n\nThe latex balloon, however, will shrink as it is exposed to increasing pressure, so the volume of water it displaces will be smaller. (I will not solve that problem here as it takes up quite a bit of space to show how much a balloon shrinks as it is subjected to increasing pressure.  Essentially it comes down to writing a spherical force balance and integrating over volume)\n\nConsequently, the bouyancy force exerted on the latex balloon will be smaller, and the ping pong ball would be forced back up through the water harder (and faster) than the balloon.\n\nAs an extreme, ever wondered what happens to helium filled balloons when they are released into the air and they float up until you can't see them anymore?  Since the atmospheric pressure is lower and lower the higher you go, the balloon expands until eventually it pops.  At that point, the popped balloon either falls back to earth or gets swept up into atmospheric currents, which can take it basically anywhere on earth.

When they want to do me evil they levitate me to the face of God. They call it the twelve hoping IÍI drop like a satan with a flash of lightning, but I can't sleep(so I meditate and pray) and they drop like the lightning right in front of me (  can only see the flash though)

the answer above is wrong to a degree - in your example i would have to imagine falling through a vacuum therefore if he didn't touch the sides his momentum would carry him to the other side and then back again over and over\n\nthe answer above ( 1st ) assumes air resistance would slow him down but he would go back and forth for a long time before stopping\n\nthe gravity would decrease on the way down and increase on the way up but not in the way you think what would happen is that the gravity would be pulling from the side more and more the deeper you got ( so the effect is only virtual) you would always be in a 1g field it is just the direction(s) of the pull that would change\nthe direction of the most mass at any one time would appear to be down and at the center all pulls ( 360 degrees ) would seem to cancel one another ( but they would still be there )

On the ice, there are really tiny mounds of ice called pebble, so essentially the rock is gliding on this pebble, and curls because of the way the bottom of the rock contacts the pebble. When you sweep, you are melting these ice droplets and the little amount of moisture/water make the rock glide farther, but it also holds the rock straighter. However, if you sweep once the rock has caught the pebble and has begun to curl, it will make it continue curling in that direction.

It's an illusion.  \n\nWhen a magician claims he can fly, of course everyone in the audience looks for the cable hanging from the ceiling which is holding him up.  But you couldn't see it, and his assistants probably swung things over his head showing that there wasn't anything there, right?  \n\nWell, of course he is being held up by SOMETHING.  The trick is that the cables stretch SIDEWAYS from his body.  He is still being held up, but the cable isn't where everybody knows it should be, and so they don't see it.  Additionally, he probably had some sort of glitzy, shifting, reflective backdrop to create optical confusion and further hide the cables.

Think of a car traveling at 90 mph up a ramp. When it gets to the end of the ramp all four wheels leave the ground and the whole car continues upward. Is gravity broken? No, it's just that the velocity of the car upward has more force than gravity trying to pull it down. Of course it will pull it down as soon as the upward momentum decreases enough.\n\nAnother example. The Shuttle orbits around Earth even though gravity is still there and as strong as ever. Again there are two forces at work on the Shuttle -- gravity is pulling downward while at the same time the Shuttle's speed is trying to hurl it off into space. The two forces aren't cancelled or "broken," they're just balanced so that neither completely gains control of the Shuttle.

david blaine is not really that amazing. the levitation from both of them are just forms similar to belducci(?) levitation.\n\nAs far as walking on water, i have not seen that trick yet. but i would bet it has a simple and logical explaination.\n\nMy answer is no. Neither one is god or satan. The reason we are not worshipping them is becuase they are not unique in their magic.\n\nDO NOT LOOK UP BELDUCCI levitation, its a nasty spoiler and you will hate both magicians forever.\n\nTo what the eyes miss,\nSilence

If i remember correctly a winged seraph is a certin type of angel. If memory serves me correctly that were used in the protection of the lords chariot and i believe there were also the angles that guarded the way back into Eden after Adam and Eve sinned.

I have seen a table levitated off the end of a stage in college.  It was pretty darn cool. He allowed us to go up to the stage and feel for strings and stuff.  I was sold.  It wasn't a person, but it was an object.\n\nPS--when we were little kids we did "hard as a board, light as a feather."  Did you play that game?  4 people would get on the side of on person laying on a park bench without a back.  With only our two index fingers per person, we could pick up the person on the bench and carry him/her around.  It gave me the illusion of levitation--it was cool.

If the vehicle is moving at a constant speed, then the object is moving forward at that same speed before being tossed. After it is tossed, it continues to move forward at the same speed (as you and the vehicle) because there is nothing to slow it down.\n\nTry tossing the object when the vehicle is accelerating. The object, after being tossed, does not enjoy the acceleration that you and the vehicle do, but instead continues to move forward at the speed it had when tossed, and will land "behind" you. This is the principle behind a famous result of Einstein. If the vehicle has no windows, you can't tell whether the vehicle is accelerating, or standing still with "gravity" pulling tossed objects toward the back of the vehicle. Even if you try to use a beam of light to determine acceleration or gravity, you will get the same bending of the light beam.

This was answered during John Byrne's run on the post-'Crisis' Superman comic title: Kal-El's ability to fly is a mental manifestation of his power. Essentially, the yellow sun gives him an aura, which he can use to propell himself skyward and lift heavy objects. It's not his muscles.
