The video of “levitation” is one of the things that makes me, a complete ignoramus of the subject matter, skeptical.

All other instances of “quantum levitation” that I have seen has a “locked in” effect: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA .

Whereas the material in this video seems to bounce and warble in a way that appears to me more akin to standard static or magnetic repulsion.

Hope I’m wrong.
