AI Thread Summary
Using strong magnetic fields, it is theoretically possible to levitate a carbon arrow within a donut-shaped magnet. Magnetic levitation has been demonstrated with various objects, including plastic toys and small animals, suggesting that carbon-based materials could also be levitated effectively. The discussion highlights that living organisms, primarily composed of carbon, have successfully been levitated, indicating that a higher carbon concentration may enhance levitation capabilities. The feasibility of this concept relies on the strength of the magnetic field applied. Overall, the potential for levitating carbon objects like arrows is supported by existing examples of magnetic levitation.

Is it possible to use magnets (donut shape) to float a carbon arrow in the center of the donut (LEVITATION USING CARBON.

Should be. Heck, with a strong enough field, you levitate almost anything. I've seen film footage of a magnetic chamber that puts out such a field that it levitates plastic toys, and even live animals. The footage I saw was fo a spider and a small frog. Since living organisms are mostly carbon (aside from the water, which I don't think was contributing to the magnetic levitation), it seems likely that a greater concentration of carbon would levitate better.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
