WE’VE BEEN DUPED!

jtotheizzoe:

EDIT: It’s come to my attention that this is not real, sorry to say. There’s no such place as JIST that I can find. This is most likely some viral advertising for an upcoming video game. I’ve updated the post to reflect that.

Quantum Levitation Meets WipeOut Track

Remember that jaw-dropping video from a couple months back demonstrating quantum levitation? By using a supercooled superconducting disk placed over a magnetic field, the physicists were able to make the disk levitate, even holding an incline as it moved!

Well these folks from Japan have raised the quantum levitation bar fooled us using CGI into watching some advertising. By turning faking that puck into a Wipeout racer, they’ve brought advertised a video game racing to life. Watch and be amazed. 

Wow. Whoops.
