      I disagree. The human body is mostly water. Water is slightly diamagnetic. Therefore, a sufficiently strong magnet is capable of levitating a human body off the ground.

      Magnets can definitely have an effect, just not at puny neodymium magnet levels!

        I have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based on magnitized internal human water.

        A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead.

          It works on frogs. The force is distributed over the whole body, so it’s no worse than gravity is on our bodies.
