Modern science still turns a blind eye on levitation Translated by Julia Bulygina

Daniel Douglas Hewm was not he only one to bewilder scientists. In 1934, Maurice Wilson of England, who adopted yogis’ approach and trained levitation for years, resolved to soar up in great leaps and reach Everest. Next year his frozen body was found in the mountains. He almost reached the top of the world.
Nowadays people who adopted yogis’ approach to levitation succeed most. The state of levitation can be achieved through transcendental meditation developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. His goal was human perfection by liberating the consciousness and realizing all possibilities of the human body.
In 1971 the new Messiah founded his university in Fairfield, Iowa . Afterwards they founded the European research centre in Switzerland and training centres in Germany, England, India and other countries. Experts were invited there – physicists, connoisseurs of the Indic philosophy, mathematicians, doctors, engineers and psychologists united by the goal to make man happy. One of the tasks of the transcendental meditation was to teach people levitation.
Despite numerous cases of levitation it is thought to be a miracle or a mysterious phenomenon contradicting to scientific principles. Judgments about the physical nature of levitation are rather contradictory too. Some researchers consider that levitation is the result of the biogravitational field that is created by special mental energy radiated by the human brain. Doctor of Biological Sciences, Alexander Dubrov, supports this hypothesis. He points out that a levitator deliberately creates the bio-gravitational field, that is why he is able to control it and change the direction of his flight.
Until recently, many respectable scientists did not take levitation and antigravitation seriously and harshly criticized it. Now they have to reconsider their position. In March of 1991, Nature magazine published a sensational picture: the director of the Superconductivity Research Laboratory in Tokyo was sitting on the dish of superconducting ceramic material. There was a gap of air between him and the floor. The total weight of the director and the dish was 120 kilograms, which did not prevent him from levitation.
Later this phenomenon was dubbed as the Meissner effect. It is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor. Walther Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld discovered the phenomenon in 1933 by measuring the flux distribution outside of tin and lead specimens as they were cooled below their transition temperature in the presence of a magnetic field.
