swami levitation we've seen this OK now It turns out it turns out the now don't criticize it it turns out there is no law of physics that prevents this OK this is physically possible and so you do the calculation of how to make that possible and the only way you can make that happen is by invoking Newton's second law of motion and by doing that you have to consume mass quantities of beans By my count about a thousand cans Then your anal sphincter has to be really tight to hold in the methane effluences that are ready to burst forth at which point you let it go and then you levitate for as long as you have gas to provide it That's by the way how the Space shuttle not with beans but it's gas coming out one direction the recoil goes in the other direction Now I found this picture on the internet This is like combines everything I just said It's a levitated can of beans I thought that was kinda cool
