Researchers are a strange bunch

"Researchers at the Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory have used a field of 16T to levitate a strawberry, a cricket, and even a frog. The researchers reported the the living frog showed no visible signs of discomfort during its levitation, and that it hopped away normally after the experiment."

Is that what Ms. Keller was saying in class last week?

I think I have a picture of that in my physics book. "This high powered magnet is being used to levitate a frog. The frog is in no discomfort. The sensation is similar to floating in water, which frogs like very much."

Or something like that.
