Is levitation possible? YouTube Originals and BBC Studios bring you The Edge of Science, a scientific dive into the outer reaches of our understanding. Follow host and science enthusiast, Rick Edwards as he taps into the scientific community of YouTube to help him fulfill a lifetime’s ambition – to levitate himself. Physics girl (Dianna Cowern) and science inventor, Colin Furze, join Rick and together, they will experiment their way into getting Rick off the ground, by physics alone. Can they do it?

I remember as a child about 8, I used to close my eyes whilst standing in a room one my own before bed and imagine I could levitate, when I opened my eyes a few seconds late I was in another part of the room facing a different direction. I could never explain if this really happened, I just believed it did to this day 50 years on.
Pitiful, and so much so it was if we Americans had made it!
What if UFO uses sound frequency to levitate
All that hype for that teeny weenie result.. i feel disappointed.:(
I wanna see that Jesus Nike Jordan Dunk ALL Christ super one

Nicola Tesla and other scientists have already done this,you can find some videos about these matters and the Dynamic Theory of Gravity (by Nikola Tesla)here on YouTube. Congratulations this was a great video to watch. Thanks! Love from Sweden💛💙💋
How much of the moon is ceramic?
I get that they were all excited getting on top of that board, but let's Correct something here… They DID NOT Levitate, The BOARD Levitated, they were just there for the Ride… =Difference= Unless they get filled with Nitrogen and start floating, Only The Board Did. But that is a good start.
Great video, enjoyable especially the levitating track haha
The video exposure is so low, it’s hard to watch
Act 16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
1Co 15:1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
1Co 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you unless you believed in vain.
1Co15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
1Co15:4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Joh 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Eph 2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Rom 3:24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Rom 3:25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
Rom 3:26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Tit 3:5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Tit 3:6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Tit 3:7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
👌👌👌👌👌👍
i cant stand when people say space time, just say space. time is not real it lives in our mind.
BBC earth??
Could this be how all the ancient megaliths were moved into place ? 🤔
lol still not that close to get to it lol
need more of this! loved it
Well, gravity sucks, right? That's what the clip is saying; and that these might be ways of moving away from the surface of the Earth. Real, F = ma sorts of High School Physics sorts of stuff. And people can do that with helium, hot air, airplanes, and rockets. And there might be other ways too. Scrolling back a few lines: F (a vector) = m (mass) times a (acceleration) gravity. But this general idea might also be seen in Huygens' addition to the above Newtonian equation: F=ma= (mv^2)/r for a mass being spun around in a uniform circle at a uniform velocity, with that being then divided by the radius of the said circle being traversed. And it can get even more interesting and nifty (well, I think so). Draw a pretty good circle on a sheet of paper. Imagain that the circle's circumference is a tube or pipe with water being pumped through it at a constant, uniform velocity. (Nifty enough for you, so far?) And there's something called the 'right-hand rule of vectors' — see the above. Your second finger is point towards the circle's center, your first finger is pointing in the direction of the water's flow, and your right hand's thumb is pointing at 90 degrees from the two fingers and is the other vectors' and is the 'cross product.' These vectors are more or less constant and uniform as long as the water is flowing in the tubing or pipe at a constant velocity. And these vectors, from a mathematical point of view, occupy an inertial space. Now fold the paper so that the circle is folded in half — so that the lines are on the outside of the paper, so that you can see the two halves of the circle (for the sake of simplicity). Go on ahead, I'll wait. Okay, now that you got that done, crease the fold. And you can do the 'right-hand rule again. And you can now see that as the vectors from the two halves of the circle are more or less occupying the same inertial space, the two vectors' set, mathematically, more or less cancel each other out. Stay with me here…. Now lift one of the sides of the inscribed sheet of paper, 20 degrees say — like a shallow wedge(?), and observe that the two sets of vectors no longer occupy the same inertial space and the vectors are thus free to express themselves as per F=ma=mv^2/r. So that the 'F' now because a possible source of propulsion, driven by a water pump? Might be worth checking out. Go to aAmazon and plug in 'James G. Parsons,' in their look-up box to see what happens under the book part. Sure there's going to be grammatical errors, errors in the arithmetic, and even the once in a while spelling errors. But those are free. And if you figure in that the proposed experiments are each less than ten dollars (last I checked) the book is a real deal. And the information found therein is the real deal, if you get my drift here at all. But, heck, you can find that out for yourself.
With an ion propulsion rocket on the back of the hover train, mad rocket train
It’s that why the aliens lay down fat beats, keeps their saucer in levitation hmmm. Makes sense now
Why am i getting ads for this now
Gravity is just a theory and if gravity was real it should only apply it with magnets the force between magnets
1000th comment
Wow this completely failed no wonder I got an ad for it 2 years later
Bruh you should’ve talked to Nile red he’s a legend when it comes to science
Yes Colin, you made it mate !
Bbc featured is quite the feat.
Also as for the levitating house, 5 car batteries charging some capacitors would deliver the required ammount, with a pre warning system in place they could automatically activate and charge the capacitors to deliver the energy requirements.
Could we make a super conductor magnet incapsulated in non magnetic mega insulation material, kind of like a cell of a battery, with liquid nitrogen as a continuous feed onto the conductor's within the cell, ( similar to water cooling in your pc )
If so, you could scale that way, but obviously you'd need some kind of large test track.
( nvm I continued watching the video, turns out that's exactly what you guys did. )
Why did I see an ad for this? Not that I'm complaining.
How would a levitated building attach itself to the foundation again ?
You didn't break anything the guy who built the machine.
F- Zero
Great video!! On my channel there are over 30 videos of a craft that levitates with no moving mechanical parts using ion propulsion and onboard power! It is not limited in how high it can go. The only limit is that doesn't lift anything heavy just yet.
Levitation: ancient technology revived! ✨
😱🤯👏👏👏👏👏
I did this with my guitar, salt, a marshal stack (4 12 inch speakers) and a hollow box. I found that particular notes resonated with the box in different ways, but not every note would create a clear picture.
Even more strangely was that arpeggios seemed to have the greatest effect on the shape of the salt patterns.

This is how our Universe work.
Makea sense why powerful countries fighting over the poles of the world🤔
oy wunt ta know
lo lo lo
kek
Looool
Everyone there congratulating Rick when he never actually did anything except stand on the board lool
Thank u all very much
