Static friction? It probably would float for some time in air if it wasn't touching something and there is no breeze.

No. The atoms of carbon are still heavier than air, and no type of structure can alter that. However it can be blown by a breeze and stay up that way - same way a cloud, which is heavier than air, stays up due to wind.
- dasil003 14y agoUh, I'm pretty sure clouds don't float because of wind.
