levitation |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
levitationCounteraction of gravitational forces on a body. As claimed by medieval mystics, spiritualist mediums, and practitioners of transcendental meditation, it is unproven. In the laboratory it can be produced scientifically; for example, electrostatic force and acoustical waves have been used to suspend water drops for microscopic study. It is also used in technology; for example, in magnetic levitation as in maglev trains. |
