Real Hoverboard


(Video Link)


Well, real in the sense that opposing magnets suspend this Back to the Future model in the air without any structural support. French artist Nils Guadagnin made it for an art installation:

Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air. In the making of this work, this artist was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it's a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.

and if the children have children together, is it possible to get a genetic identical to one of the first generation twins? (i am not advocating they try)

What would of been even freakier if both women had two sets of boys or girls and genetics had caused all four to look almost exactly alike even if there's a few years between them.

I wonder if those boy twins and girl twins are more genetically similar to each other than regular boy/girl fraternal twins...

This is one case where cousin marriage should definitely be discouraged.

I sense some confusion here. All that happened is that Diane and Craig had a set of identical twins. No weird genetics, no inbreeding, nothing. The interesting part is that Diane and Craig each have an identical twin sibling (who just so happen to be married to each other).

I think the two little girls in the picture are either sisters or cousins, not twins.
