So you’re saying there’s a way.
I'm not even sure a person could survive being in a magnetic field that strong. Motion of blood through the field would generate electric currents in the brain and heart (and elsewhere).
Induced by the hemoglobin movement?

Not even close but thanks for playing.
You know there's a lot of other stuff around that would have problems with huge multi-tesla fields, right? Even levitating someone with iron attached to various points on a full body rope access harness would require consideration of the wiring in the walls.
Yep. It's a terrible idea.

Just motion of salty water in a magnetic field.

They said that the levitated frog was fine afterward, but I've always wondered about the effects of long-term exposure.

#26Ignoring the differences between LK-99 and the levitating frog is foolish. 1. The diamagnetism of LK-99 is more than ten thousand times that of the frog; 2. LK-99 only exhibits one-dimensional diamagnetism, whereas the frog has three-dimensional diamagnetism.
Odds are that anyone equating those two at this point is dishonest.
But I think the video made it here because it's cool as fuck. There is no implication of anything around it.

Let’s say frogs are proven to be room temperature superconductors. How do we turn them into maglev trains?

I can’t figure out if his post was jest or not.

#29Any chance of magnetically repelling a person from a ceiling, and/or attracting them from the floor, to create artificial gravity in space?
You can, but the cost is the iron in your blood gets pulled out with extremely strong magnetism.

IANAP, but i would assume such levitation wouldn't be all that stable if we are expecting people to move around in it.
