It is possible for a permanent magnet to be attracted to a cooled superconductor magnet as shown in many experiments, but why does it not attract the permanent magnet to the point that their surfaces come in direct physical contact similar to the attraction that causes two permanent magnets join together when their opposing poles are placed in sufficient proximity? There are many videos showing the permanent magnet levitating above the superconducting magnet and requiring a certain amount of force to be pulled away, but when the permanent magnet is pressed against the superconducting magnet, it bounces back to a specified height like a spring. Why is this happening?
Another interesting question is how the magnetic field of the superconductor remains stable even when the external magnetic field of the permanent magnet exerts a torque that breaks the alignment of the anti-parallel electron pairs that lose their dipole alignment easily because anti-parallel arrangements have difficulty generating the persistent mass magnetic field in the first place.
