I hope so - I still want my hover board and I don't have a flux capacitor to go back to the future to get one. Awesome thread, interesting thanks for
sharing!
I don't know about 'quantum' levitation, but magnetic levitation works fine.
Course, it will be difficult to freeze the tracks (especially in the summer)
Check out Howard Johnson....
