How?

An example of Pyrolytic Carbon levitating on top of a 2x2 matrix of magnets. [0]

No, it mathematically cannot be done with any combination of permanent magnets.

aside from non-superconducting diamagnetic materials, I think it can be done with non-static magnets, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-stabilized_magnetic_levit...

Oh of course. Brainfarted and fused "static permanent magnets" into just "permanent magnets".

If we doubt the legitimacy of basic claims like a fair setup of magnets, then there are much easier ways to create a fake, like just tie something on top of it.. but why would we doubt the legitimacy of reliable institutions?

Grand parent was saying it's "impossible". I say it is _technically_ possible.

To which I then added:

"I am not saying this is a hoax, but as exciting as this seems we just have to wait it out for more replication publications to make that call"

It last been a little over 2 weeks since the first pre-print from Korea University.

The hashing out of a fabrication process with less impurities will be a long one. My point is not that everyone is pulling a con, my point is that we need to wait it out.
