Sweet!

Want to see metal floating in the air?

Floating Magnet - RealBoring.com

The description of the video includes "The superconductor is nonmagnetic when the nitrogen is added, the meissner [sic] effect occurs and the superconductor is now perfectly magnetic."

And I'm like, so this just assumes we know what the Meissner effect is?

... But later a commenter named Mike said, "That behavior is something called the Meissner Effect, to which [sic] scientists have idea how it works yet." ...

So in other words, yes and no.
