- euroderf 4y agoSome cyberpunk novel or another suggested you could engineer a structure where atoms surround a core of vacuum, making the assembly as a whole lighter than air. Cool idea, altho of course any piece that breaks off will float up into the atmosphere and become a hazard to powered air transport, so it would have to degrade after prolonged exposure to UV.
