Put this here to establish a time line on my suggested contribution but before its dismissed too quickly as highbrow consider, I have been inspired by Einsteins comment that, if I cant explain it to my grandmother I dont really understand it so ... I tried to keep it readable. Go ahead and try it; the first ones free. Dont know if Im up to date with this but it seems to be in the same area as something which came to me very lately on a puzzle whose parts I encountered over a few decades. Apparently if a piece of metal achieves superconductor state while in a test tube containing liquid nitrogen then a magnet dropped into the tube will hove above the magnet. Something like 15 years ago I read where someone had such a tube (with the superconductor in the bottom) and suspended it with a gap under it then held a magnet in that gap that a point could be found where the magnet hovered under the superconductor/tube combo. Repulsion/attraction occuring whether the magnet is super cooled or not but when the superconductor is super cooled to create its super conducting state. Speculation came to what, at best, may be a hypothesis (roughly translated, less than a theory) that; if the metal could be become superconducting at super cold; could it also have become super magnetizable? For the two hovering positions indicate that the (hypothetically) magnetized superconductor would be reverse poarity position when above and polarity same poarity position when below that of the added magnet so that; whether the magnet the part of the (hypothetically magnetized) super conductor is of opposite polarity to the already magnetized magnet. Inside the tube the magnet is kept from sliding off the temporary magnetic field, of the superconductor, by the vertical sides of the test tube. When underneath, the magnet is led to a position of balance between the downward pull of gravity and the upward pull of magnetic force. Why there is attraction in one position and repulsion in another may seem to counter indicate my hypothetic comment but, could there be a little more to it because ... the data does show hovering both above and below. For instance, such curvature as that shown at such places as google.ca…search actually extend less than what is illustrated and be assisted by a surface tension that is turned sideways away from the three physical dimensions which are commonly known - namely into the fourth? As in, Einstein had relativity right but, do we have it interpreted right? Realize that the guidelines should not promote my own work but, Im not working in the field, just having fun reading technical data and sharing an impression that I get. Pulled so much away from real sports in the wilderness and into pseudo sports with adaptations that are less real than whats found in nature and, therefore, physics. Love the fun I have here, mostly reading, at IOP instead of having to keep ear plugs handy during hockey season. Summer and the other three are real seasons.
