Guys ive got a small theoretical question related to this, so what if we try levitating ourselves right over the poles, by sitting on a super strong magnet, which will be over a another repelling magnet below it.
Will this allow us to stay without rotating in place while the earth rotated with the base magnet right below us or will we still rotate?
