SUMMARY

The discussion centers on alternative flying devices in movies that do not rely on jet propulsion, following the tragic death of Vince Reffet, the Jetman pilot. Participants mention the Silver Surfer's gravitation nullifying capabilities and Iron Man's use of Tesla electromagnetics as notable examples. Other references include the flying skateboard from Back to the Future, which still utilizes jet technology. The conversation also touches on theoretical concepts related to matter and energy conversion, as well as the Pauli exclusion principle in electrons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitation nullifying materials
  • Familiarity with Tesla electromagnetics
  • Knowledge of the Pauli exclusion principle
  • Awareness of cinematic representations of flying devices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physics behind gravitation nullifying materials
  • Explore the principles of Tesla electromagnetics in technology
  • Investigate the Pauli exclusion principle and its implications in quantum mechanics
  • Analyze other cinematic flying devices and their technological feasibility
USEFUL FOR

Film enthusiasts, physicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and cinematic representations of flight.

After reading the Jetman has died from accident using the jet.

I watched Silver Surfer movie thinking a portable flying device based on gravitation nullifying material is safer. But it is difficult to balance on the silver surf. Do you know other movies where one can fly without using any jet propulsion? Besides Iron Man powered by tesla electromagnetics. What else can you wear and let you soar the sky?

Back to the Future has the flying skateboard but it is based on jet. Back to Silver Surfer. I hope they can make stand alone movie of him.

My favorite words in the movie is "Whatever this thing is, it has the ability
to convert matter and energy".

My favorite scenes are when the Silver Surfer passes through solid matter without destroying it.

The electrons have Pauli exclusion principle in them. If fermions can be interchanged with bosons and you can temporary restore symmetry in the object. Can you do that? Just for fun, what theoretically would it take for solid objects to pass through each other?
