Scientists from two universities made a frog float in mid-air. The levitation worked when they created a giant magnetic field that slightly distorted the orbits of electrons in the frogs' atoms. The researchers, from the University of Nottingham in the UK and the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, also made grasshoppers, plants, and fish float. They say there is no reason why a human couldn't float the same way.

you will stay much warmer in winter if you dont use soap.
