Levitation (from Latin levitas “lightness�) is the process by which an object is held aloft, without mechanical support, in a stable position.

Levitation excludes floating at the surface of a liquid…
5
‌because the liquid provides direct mechanical support.
7
In electrostatic levitation an electric field is used to counteract gravitational force.
9
For positional stability, any small displacement of the levitating object must result in a small change in force in the opposite direction.
11
Some parapsychology and religious believers interpret alleged instances of le vitation as the result of supernatural action of psychic power or spiritual energy.
13
However, the scientific community states there is no evidence that levita tion exists and alleged levitation events are explainable by natural causes (such as magic trickery, illusion, and hallucination).
