It's not Lederman's fault, though.

He joked that he wanted to call it The Goddamned Particle.

I've seen the magnet-in-tube experiment done with an ordinary conductor

Oh, me too, in high school.

If you want to see a magnet falling freely, you can use an ordinary cardboard tube!

Well, in the link, there seemed to be some uncertainty as to whether a magnet in a superconducting tube would fall freely or be pinned.

You'd have to cool it to liquid-helium temperatures, or liquid nitrogen if you have a cool modern one, so I don't know that you'd actually be able to see the magnet fall.

There's this other axis you can look through...
