Yes, the flake stands up when they approach a neodymium magnet to it -- but the corner that stands up is different! Isn't that consistent with a regular magnetic object, rather than a superconductor?<p>Look carefully at this video [0].<p>Which corner stands up around 2:05 ~ 2:10? The levitating corner falls towards the left side of the screen. Notice the color pattern.<p>Then the researcher flips the Neodymium magnet underneath. The idea being that if the flake was superconducting, the same corner of the flake would levitate.<p>Tell me, which corner stands up at 2:26 ~ 2:30, after the magnet was flipped? Is it the leftmost corner as before? No. It's the one at the bottom of the screen now. You can look at the color pattern and notice that it's truly a different corner, not caused by a spurious rotation of the flake while we were not looking.<p>In conclusion, in this experiment the flake behaves like every other regular magnet I've ever seen.<p>Disclaimer: not a physicist of any sort, but I have a pair of eyeballs.<p>[0] <a href="https://targum.video/v/2023/8/1/2534a4408ccce9c13a811e94f16d" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://targum.video/v/2023/8/1/2534a4408ccce9c13a811e94f16d</a>...
