    Thus, in a very physical sense, the phonon carries (negative) mass. Moreover, this is not due to the usual equivalence of mass and energy in relativity: the effect survives in the non-relativistic limit. And, finally, it is not a quantum effect, because the formalism of [1] applies unaltered to classical waves.

    It's all relative. What you see, and what is really is, are not the same thing.

    For example, not all is what it appears to be. These lines are all perfectly horizontal, yet you would swear they are not:

    Related, but still theoretical. There is a MUCH better way to levitate things using light than what they're proposing. The government doesn't want to allow that of course.
