Etymology:
Meaning:
The act or state of floating or rising in the air without apparent means of support.
Origin:
The concept of levitation has been present in human cultures for centuries. Ancient myths and legends often feature characters with the ability to fly or float in the air.
In modern times, the scientific study of levitation has focused on understanding the phenomenon of superconductivity, which allows certain materials to repel magnetic fields. This has led to the development of technologies such as magnetic levitation trains (maglevs).
