Is the science behind this true? I am so ignorant of quantum physics.

That's so frickin' good.
Awesome! Thanks for that.

One could say it's super cool!
Super cool!

Well, what does the evidence tell you? ;) I was watching a TV programme the other day showing the same thing - yes it's real science with demonstrable effects.

This is phenomenal. A few years ago someone might have scoffed at the possibility of such a thing, yet there it is (assuming it has not been super-photo-shopped, which I assume it has not - looks pretty real). Some things that seem "supernatural" turn out to have quite natural explanations - we just don't always know about them yet.

Change the "some" to "all" and we can sign the agreement and go home. Our work is done. :)

Well there is a scientific explanation for the levitation (don't ask me to explain, I'm not a scientist) which is how they managed to levitate the object in the first place. This was never something that looked supernatural because it was designed in an experiment. I think it doesn't work unless the object is cooled to the temperature of liquid nitrogen and somehow gains superconductivity which locks it in place to the magnet.
