The scientific community states there is no evidence that levitation exists and alleged levitation events are explainable by natural causes (such as magic trickery, illusion, and hallucination).

Is it actually possible to levitate?

Normal things, even humans, can levitate if they are placed in a strong magnetic field. Although the majority of ordinary materials, such as wood or plastic, seem to be non-magnetic, they all exhibit very weak diamagnetism. Such materials can be levitated using magnetic fields of about 10 Tesla.

When was levitation discovered?

In March 1912, Bachelet obtained a patent for a “levitating transmitting apparatus” from the United States Patent Office (patent no. 1,020,942). The invention is described as a machine to transfer bodies at a very high speed from one point to another.
