Quantum Levitation: A Dual Interpretation from Standard Physics and Quarkbase Cosmology

Quantum Levitation: A Dual Interpretation from Standard Physics and Quarkbase Cosmology presents a unified physical explanation of the phenomenon commonly referred to as quantum levitation. The work contrasts the standard interpretation—based on flux pinning, Cooper-pair rigidity, and the Meissner effect—with the alternative description emerging from Quarkbase Cosmology, where levitation results from coherent pressure reconfiguration in a frictionless etheric medium (Ψ-field).

The preprint reformulates magnetic rigidity as an emergent constraint of the etheric-plasma pressure tensor and demonstrates that both frameworks yield equivalent experimental predictions for levitation stability, height, and flux-line locking, while differing in their ontological interpretation. This dual analysis provides a falsifiable pathway for distinguishing between purely quantum-mechanical and etheric-medium explanations using interferometric measurements and curvature-sensitive diagnostics.

The document is intended as a technical bridge between condensed-matter physics, quantum field theory, and the pressure-based formalism of Quarkbase Cosmology.
