But are they working on a TARDIS?

Interesting article from the Telegraph: Physicists have 'solved' mystery of levitation.

Sounds unlikely, doesn't it? But the boundaries of the possible seem to be changing every day.

I actually thought this was old news... I study in Nijmegen and this was always one of the more popular items to quote as off-the-wall physics research (I think it even got an IgNobel prize yup ). From the looks of that page, the article dates from ten years ago. Quite what Andrews has done different/better, I can't determine. Though it's entirely possible that this is a theoretical exploration of why the levitating frog actually works...

I'm delighted to have you drop by. Come by whenever you wish! I like your icon.

Didn't know the same work had been done a decade ago - though I do remember those levitating frogs. Which is a memorable image. Maybe the journalists were just feeling bored this week?
